And why everybody is so pissed at the fl

Because she’s “weak” and fragile

FL is the princess of a fallen kingdom. ML is a duke + commander + dragon hybrid. He is given the order to let her kill herself (honorable for fallen royals bc no one sees you die) or transport her to the capital unharmed so she can be beheaded in front of everyone. She doesn't want to die bc her twin brother and best friend asked her to come back and bury him if he dies at the hands of their enemies. She takes her chances with the trip and asks him to specifically watch over her & he agrees & is respectful but distant.

She stabs herself to stall the mission until she heals and works to get closer to him so he can help her. He is very distant & clear that he will not help her escape. After a couple months, they finally make it there, she's on death row, he does not help her escape.

The emperor really wants ml to hurry up and have children because his dragon hybrid is very well integrated & very human like. Ml does not want to because humans frequently don't survive the birth. FL hears this and pulls out her last ditch effort and tells the emperor she's pregnant with ml's kid. This works bc soldiers saw them together so much. She believes her royal families historical connection to dragons will allow her to survive it.

Ml is upset by her lie, but he does not dispute it to the emperor. They order a test from a physician who is paid by the ML to corroborate their story. Ml and fl create a contract: 6 months to get pregnant otherwise he will turn her in to the emperor & her death BUT she can run away at any time if she dares lol. They got married and are on their way to his place [ch 16].

Opening scene in ch1 is her running away from him the night before the end of their contract. She was told she wasn't pregnant but they'd do another more accurate test. She runs away bc if the contract expires and they divorce she would be beheaded. Ml wakes up to her goodbye note and then the doctor tells him she's actually pregnant. He's very angry and is ordering ppl to find her and bring her back to him.

Some people don't like her bc her backstory is that she was a sheltered princess. Her twin brother / the king sheltered her because she was always sick. She's also weak and reliant on those around her rn because her whole country was wiped out. Imo she's not fragile and is not passive [she takes many steps to attempt her freedom] BUT she has no political or physical power yet and she has literally been surrounded by an enemy army the whole time so far lol. She essentially sells her body to live for 6 more months.

Thank you, your summary and explanation of why everybody is pissed at the fl was extremely helpful.

Of course :] ! Also I didn't mention it but it's implied that the ml likes her and has been enamored by her since he first saw her at a party a few years ago. He isn't mean to her either & is very respectful and reminds the soldier that she is still royalty even if they are marching to her death lol.

Seems like a great guy lol

Yoo Young ran away and was planning to kill himself I think, and then the commander went after him, and then the crown prince thought the commander and yoo young ran away with each other, and then the crown prince went after them, found out the truth, and then sheds ONE FUCKING tear because he feels sorry for what he said to Yoo Young.

*isn’t*

Yuuuus
