just a tad confused about her mom situation... like is she really the daughter of a maid when she's the daughter of his wife I'm so confused...
This feels familiar wasn't there another where the girls married to someone in a coma or is it just me...
Reading this is like looking at the background on what's going on in the many redemptions from father books... Also, the princess is a BITCH
SRSLYYY. The blonde hair dude who killed all his concubines and unborn children. Or that fucking black haired dude with like a 100 kids, most of them being girls with only like 5 boys and only taking notice of the mc. Like wtffff not to mention the many others that are all trash. So I hope that this asshole emperor daddy gets the hell and torture he gave to everyone else cause wtf is wrong with these authors who think that as long as the dad dotes on just the mc it's a sweet story.
Right!! I always wonder how they end up being so similar. It makes you wonder if there is some truth in the dads and lots of daddy issues....
For the daddy issues I can see how girls who had an absent father might enjoy the story but on another note I'd also imagine them relating more to the other daughters who are neglected rather than the mc. Most prominent reason why I absolutely loathe those sorts of stories. On another note...,it could be that the people who enjoy it are those without any daddy issues too since they don't have any. But still isk how anyone could enjoy such things. And strangely enough they're so damn popular its jarring.
It is weird. With so many being almost copy paste.
I don't know why everyone is taking up for the dad... Both mom and dad suck... Oh well he turned his emotions off... so the fuck what... if he was going to do that he should have just offed himself so Michael didn't have to suffer and anyone else.. Like the woman dumped you move on date someone else... I get that it can hurt and it sucks but everyone knows without emotions your no different than a psychopath... thinking about all the things a psychopath can do ... would you want to become that .. really because someone dumped you.... grow up... the mom sucks too... why hide shit that never goes right.. maybe with open communication they could have found a cure.. STILL the dad sucks stop taking up for him Michael and the girl deserve better... if he really doesn't believe it he should have just taken a paternity test immediately emotions or not the dumb ass...
You know what I find the most annoying? All he had to hear was that her name was Jaina, and that was fucking enough for him to accept that she is his daughter +her inherited allergy, but that was just the last string... And it took him years and her almost dying
Right!, Is he an idiot?
Honestly the dad is what I call golden trash... very handsome, exactly my taste.. but unfortunately a stinking piece of unrecyclabe unsalvable trash... pretty... but I don't want to get eve near...
And honestly for someone tha tsealed his emotions... he seems to get quite angry easily.. even if he was not that dumb I'd expect him to be at least rational...
Right, anger is an emotion.
not sure if i want to keep reading... besides the fact that the mouths look odd and bug me the boss is a POS the female leads a pushover and the brothers weird and the coworker's suck... is it going to get better

I feel bad for the older son. I think if he was raised differently, he would have not turned out like this. I think the bad guy here is the father. I honestly hope that things turn around for him and he becomes a better person.
Does anyone have recommendations for others similar to this?
I'm sure theres more, but this is all I could recall atm The Lady and the Beast
the dad's crap... the concubine gets poisoned while pregnant, so he just abandons her and her their son..
This is ancient Chinese culture. The issue is that in many Asian cultures they believed that is someone was harmed it was a form of them being paid back for an evil they committed in a past life. You also have the whole 3 generations will pay for the crimes a family member commits. This in fact still goes on in North Korea and in many communist nations as well. So it would likely have been the court that holds a lot of the power that would have pushed for him having to abandon the concubine and thus in turn their son. Keep in mind it was the lords the officials in the court that controlled the land by keeping it maintained. As such these lords of a section of the land hand the power over the people and could manipulate the citizens in their area. If a corrupt lord started to do wrong and corrupt the citizens in the area they could in turn lead a revolt against the Emperor. The Emperor had to have solid evidence to prove the lord was corrupt to get them removed. This is why many lords in the courts would do all they could to get their daughters into the harem as either a concubine or an official wife. These lords would use their daughters in the harem to sway the Emperor. The concubines would do all they could to take each other down so that their family outside could rise in power. The power the lord's held with the concubines inside was a form of blackmail they used against the Emperor. Each family was partial towards their family. The only way to offset this was a balancing act by the Emperor having many concubines so that no one lord outside could consolidate power over the Emperor. If an Emperor didn't have a concubine the lord's would protest over and over until one was brought into the harem. If the Emperor was weak in power he would often bring in a concubine/wife from a powerful family to help him get power. You could also have a weak Emperor that is very young being forced to take a corrupt lord's daughter as his concubine. Then the Emperor becomes a puppet king. This is why you are seeing the Emperor leave the poisoned concubine and their son. In those days any women that had a scar was not allowed to sleep with the Emperor ever as they were seen as defective coming into the palace. Yet if she was harmed while in the palace her status would immediately drop.
