The Flower Dances and the Wind Sings
So... I wonder how the readers who commented how terrible MC is after reading the most recent chapter??? This manga resonated with me strongly than I thought. I get the part where she neglected her child for years. But because of the setting, back then, even the queen herself isn't given much independence. Child-bearing. That's it. The fact that ML and even her son COULDN'T understand her frustration and suffocation. Her lost confidence, sense of purpose, motivation to live stemmed because she was one of those women who questioned WHY THE HELL DO I NEED MY HUSBAND'S OR SON'S permission to go out?!?!? She did love her son at first. But the environment, her mental state and loneliness led her to shut her feelings off. I only feel pity. They could've been a happy family from the start but again, it's the culture they grew up with. And what's even sadder is these situations happen even now. Different versions of it. But still happens.
