After reading chapter 40 and some comments I am enlightened to think....
The ML is well liking the MC ... In his own way. Bad part is he wants to make sure that he still gets to be emperor and keep her as his wife, hence the idea of betrayal so that he could get legitimate approval from the Duke's family. This way it's also impossible for her to get away from him. Which is well, we can see how this will go ,,
This hits too close to home. When I visited relatives of ours and had an argument w/ a "cousin" of mine. Instead of finding out what happened, our aunt immediately sided w/ her not realizing my sibling and I were being outcast by her and our other so called "relatives", mainly due to language barrier. Stating we should all get along. Long story short, she is no longer my favorite aunt but just my "aunt". She became a stranger, and I never visited that province afterwards.
People I need more historical BLs like this HELP!!!
I read smut but not too much like Triple Crown (I loved the first part then yeah I haven't finished the story when they got older )
