One of my favourite novels!!! Seriously this one is really good. It's a long novel so there's still a long way to go and it would be better to stock up on the chapters

    can you give me spoilers about..the rape tage on the novel? is it between the ml and mc? also the obsessive snd yandere tag....how obsessive are we talking? to the point of harming and isolating the mc? shithead

    This is going to be long but yeah, it is rape between ML and MC. The ML is not a good person, and he has never pretended to be. But he really is trying to be good to the MC, but the MC is not mentally well. The ML keeps trying to help him, but unfortunately, the MC is a bit self-destructive, which worries the ML a lot. The MC became an alcoholic because it was the only thing that could calm his pain and stop him from throwing up blood, but he wasn't supposed to drink anymore due to the medication for his mental issues, and because he promised the ML that he wouldn't and that he would treasure himself more. But he did, and when the ML found out, it made him snap because he was trying so hard to help the MC while the MC wasn't taking any of it seriously. Immediately after it, the ML felt so guilty and kept apologising and sort of punishing himself, but the MC kept trying to brush it off saying it was fine. The ML here was golden because he firmly told the MC that it was NOT okay, what he did was awful and the MC was just brushing it off because it was his coping mechanism as well as further proof that he didn't care for his own well being. He told the MC that if he didn't admit that this wasn't okay and dealt with this now, it would become a trauma for him later on. And that was the only time the rape ever happened. Usually, during most of the story, it's the ML who keeps pushing off s*x because he is worried about the MCs' mental and physical health.

    from what your spoilers, it seems to me that the mc was already a mentally ill, self destructive alcoholic so the rape was unnecessary to show of his lack of self respect. It could've been with anyone too, it didn't have to he the ml if it ment to purely show how he disregards himself

    I agree, I was grossed out by it and honestly stopped for a bit to rage out at the author because I felt it was unnecessary. But the way ML handled it afterwards is what made me keep reading because if he had blamed MC or excused it I would have dropped it. But he didn't and took full accountability. Honestly, this ML is actually a pretty green despite not being a good person, but we do see him keep trying to better himself and do better for the MC. This novel heavily focuses on the psychological factor of transmigrating. How the guilt and sudden memories of 2 people could impact you. The MC isn't sure of what his real memories are, if he was transmigrated or just went insane, and he has such immense guilt of taking the originals place and also for abandoning his younger sister. The ML is really the only one trying to actively help him through this when everyone else is trying to ignore it and wish for things to just go back to normal.

    Most of the people in the real world died, there was an earthquake, i think, and the building collapsed and killed most of them. But the MC didn't die. He was trapped underneath there with all the dead bodies, which is why he has such bad health every time he tries to remember the real world. He is sort of stuck between life and death, but he never does go back, and it's sort of assumed that his real body eventually dies. The story that he read is just a story that his sister and her friend wrote (huge assholes btw but that's another thing), so when he transmigrated here things changed since he's not the same as the novel character and neither is the ML since he's the sunbae. And as for the original 2 protagonist, he befriends Jimin, and the other guy gets sent to jail.

    Yeah, they both did but the ML doesn't remember until later. Some others did too, and they all remember but don't want to tell the MC and hope he forgets for selfish reasons. So, there are no side couples because that other guy is the antagonist (he doesn't play a huge role) but even in the original novel he was such an asshole that the MC hated both the novel and him, So, he does illegal things and goes to jail by the ML. And yes, the sister died in that collapsed building too.

    Muy February 9, 2025 2:02 pm

    Important spoiler!!






    There is a total of 5 people who have transmigrated. His sister and her friend who wrote the book transmigrated and ended up in the book world while they were children. So they have had their memories for a long time. His sister is his younger brother, and he/she is very hateful, actually. The MC and his sister have a complicated relationship. Their parents abused them, but in different ways. Him physically and her more mentally. Their parents were also very strict about the way she sits, talks, and so on, and the MC would also remind her of these because in his mind, it would protect her from their abuse. But she saw it as him being abusive as well. She would keep mentioning that he sounds like their parents and that he would grow up to become like them. Though it was just the Mcs way to survive by listening to their parents, so when the MC met his sunbae it was only then that he would start to go against their parents' rules. The MC doesn't really have a lot of affection for "family" and is fine abandoning them all for the ML. But the sister wants a "perfect and affectionate" family, which is why she hates the ML, and it's also why she and her friend wrote the book. It was to vent and that's why the MC has such an awful ending, because she didn't want him to end up with the ML and even "punished" him in the book by having him being used and abandoned by the ML and later committing suicide. So when she transmigrated, she was overjoyed because she got the family she always wanted and didn't want her brother to remember or to fall in love with the ML. This is why he has problems with his memory, because the author of the story doesn't want him to remember. One of his friends transmigrated about the same time the MC did, but he doesn't want the MC to remember either because he and his mom killed off his abusive father in this world, and he was afraid that the MC would know if he remembered the original world. The ML has transmigrated but doesn't remember until almost the very end.

    Ahhhh so what happens to the sister at the end. Does she get punished? Authors rarely do. Does she get redemption ? Does the health of the MC finally get better?

    Yeah, his health does get better in the end. His sister didn't know that she was the reason, and when they argued and she found out it stopped. She doesn't really get punished or redemption, but it's left more open. Once the MC finds out, he says that he doesn't want to forgive her. She is failing high school and has to retake a year by the end of the story, and since the MC doesn't want to forgive her he just blocks her and says that until she graduates he won't speak to her or see her. So I presume that maybe in the future, their relationship can get better, but it won't be a loving family relationship that she wants. Honestly, she kept saying in the real world that he was being abusive, but she was the one being abusive. She was trying to control him and guilttrip him, and being very selfish. And when they came to the novel world, it just got worse. Her friend rightfully calls her out and says that she has gotten a god complex and it needs to stop, which it does at the end. But yeah, this story is much better read once you have let it marinate for a while.

Muy November 26, 2024 8:51 am

Okay so I just read the spoilers. It's a good story and worth the read but it takes waaay too long to get rid of that evil head maid. Like, the ML and his sister has no idea how to run a household and they give the head maid way too many chances which is just going to frustrate me reading it every week. So, wait for it until the maid is dealt with and then read it.

    haru November 26, 2024 9:43 am

    Can you please give me some spoilers?

    - Will the FL and ML's sister be friends?

    - How would they deal with the head maid?

    - How long is she gonna be a maid? Or will there be a chance that she will be helping the household or the empire by making an amazing plan or something?

    - Will she ever be of nobility again?

    - If so, how would it happen? By marrying the ML?

    Muy November 26, 2024 9:59 am

    I'll answer as much as I know because I haven't read the story itself only the spoilers.

    -but yes, her and the ML's sister will be friends

    -the head maid will do loads of things, but she just gets a warning or a paycut because the ML and his sister have no clue how to deal with their servants which is incredibly annoying. So it will take until like chapter 60 in the novel that they get rid of the maid (doesn't say how) when it comes out that the maid was embezzling a lot of money.

    - she stays a maid for a while even though she has proven herself quite useful, but the ML seriously doesn't put her in a good position until after the corrupt head maid is taken care of. Like the FL has proven herself to be competent, but he just moves her from a laundry maid to a kitchen maid which is sort of a promotion. But after the head maid is taken care of she is promoted to "butler" and that's when she takes over running the household and makes it shine. So basically after ch 60 in the novel. But as far as I know she doesn't really do anything for the empire.

    - she will be a nobility again by marrying the ML. He's actually the emperor's half brother, but the ML doesn't want that known. So there will be a war and the ML will make a huge contribution which is why the emperor (who is a good guy) tales advantage of it and gives him a duke titel. So in the end she is back to being a duchess.

    Lmao unfortunately he does shave. After she becomes a "butler" she "fixes" up the appearance of both the ML and his sister, so that they look like how nobles are supposed to look like which is a DAMN shame because I too loved the beard but apparently both him and his sister stun the nobles with their good looks and start beating away shallow suiters.

    Thank you for taking the time to type it all. I'm just so happy that she is friends with the sister because today's update made it look like the sister have a terrible personality but maybe its just her defense mechanism to act like a noble because she doesnt actually know how to act like one.

Muy February 17, 2024 12:50 pm

So I've read some untrue spoilers that Hari the read haired girl is going to end up the first and main wife which is wrong. I've read the novel and the queen is the first. Honestly the King is even unwilling since he's still in love with his wife and feels guilty about it all, but in the end he ends up with the queen after a long time and him coming to terms with his survival guilt. It's only in the side stories that he ends up with a harem so I'm just going to pretend that they don't exist because prior to the side stories the King isn't even interested in anyone besides the queen. So those who are not willing to see a harem then just don't read the side stories later on because that's when it'll happen. And in the main stories the king is ABSOLUTELY NOT interested in anyone else!! To me it seriously felt forced because when I read the side stories it just came out of nowhere honestly, sort of like the author caved for the demands and added harem in the end for the fan service.

Muy July 7, 2021 10:46 am

This is the most idiotic way to move forward the story. I mean for real, no way would he let those kidnappers go without killing them since they kidnapped his fiance, killed her in front of him and even saw her healing herself which is a huge thing that he obviously wouldn't want the empress dowager to know about. Besides his character is a guy who's basically the assassin/Knight of the emperor who has no problems with killing anyone, so the fact that he would let them go makes ni sense!!! And they even said that they caught them all, so how did they appear???? Honestly I'm dropping this, if the author needs to use such stupid things to move the plot forward then I doubt it'll be a good plot in the future as well.

    itskayy July 7, 2021 10:56 am

    So true this is such a turn off, I was excited about the story until, well, now

    amjs July 7, 2021 12:16 pm

    Yes! I was about to comment this. How can he didn’t kill them all. And why. That doesn’t make any sense with his personality and there are no reason for letting them live and tell the mastermind about her ability.

    CandyCone21 July 7, 2021 12:32 pm

    I was surprised they were still alive. It wasn't even like one person who survived to tell the table. I'm mean he left a lot of loose ends. He's a very sloppy assassin.

I'm not sure if I should continue this story because I won't like it if they all start fighting. I mean the concubines doing the typical concubibe fighting for favour and power and resorting to manipulating the MC and try to kill each other. Does anyone know if this story will go like that? Is it a true reverse harem where they'll learn to live and work together?

    Initially yes but nothing serious or overdramatic like the concubine story of the manga Yume no Shizuku.

    My point the title is sort of bait material, it does not focus on the matters of the concubines alone, there's a bigger plot. And a greater danger/antagonist mc has to face and solve before she can focus on the harem and falling in love. Tho ofc the guys are waiting on her.... some of them aren't even there for her love when they choose to be her concubines but just want connection and work together to catch the culprits etc. So yeah she does work with them. And it definitely has reverse harem vibes to it since mostly the romance interaction are innuendo and mc hasn't fallen deeply in love with any of them due to other stuff she has to solve so the kingdom is safe.
    But ofc, first days are difficult and there's some hostility among the men.

    pinkhairyeni March 10, 2021 11:59 am

    There was some hostility among them at first lol.
    ( ̄へ ̄)
    Did you miss that?
    Like the incident with the water with Gesta and Kline, it was a third party that did it but neither of the two tried to explain the situation. Since they were both hoping to showcase the other was bad.
    Gesta didn't said it was his attendant but played along the victim thus by being passive he makes K line look the desperate and the one that leaves the bad image.
    Meanwhile Kline despite seeing it was the attendant kept accusing Gesta to be the culprit.
    In terms of pointing fingers and creating facade to attract the pity of the emperor while staging to make the others a bad person what they did IS PRETTY COMMON concubine antics.

    I know that part but Kline & Gesta was both sulking about it that's why compared to other reverse harem, I'd say that was childish. I've read other reverse harem than really resorted to plotting of killing each other and in here, none of them actually did try to assassinate one another. Even the soup that can cause erectile dysfunction was rather solve hilarious because of the means of method of healing. So i'd say out of all the concubine antics, the water incident was pretty light and it wasn't even the concubines who did it.
