I’ve read some spoilers and honestly? i’m not even shocked about Lyn.( ̄へ ̄)
I like the emperor. I know he’s a dick but i expected it. He was literally born with a crown on his head so i can see why his personality is like that, that’s why the mc is here. for character development.
I also think he doesn’t actually love Lyn. He was probably just lonely and Lyn was always there? so he got attached. He’s like a puppy

SPOILERS!!!

so turns out lyn is a two-faced biatch. Idk why she didn't make the emperor truly fall in love with her? Anyway here you go I copied and paste it lol
Empress & Emperor finally confessed their feelings and was acting lovey dovey when suddenly there was a messenger saying concubine Lin had an illness and the Emperor had to leave...
Then just before the ML left for Lin’s place, the MC asked him to stay with her because she just had this feeling that something bad was going to happen :cry: though the ML still left the empress to see Lin but Lin was all fine, just wanted to eat something together lol so the ML asked Lin did you fake the illness you never did this before etc. While they were still talking and taking their sweet time together a messenger came rushing and told the empress was kidnapped from her place by some assassins...
Then the emperor rushes to the MC’s palace, only to see everything in disarray and calls for a horse to go look for her while everyone was discouraging him saying it was dangerous. He goes after the empress and finally finds her but she is bleeding and he was crying and shaking her body really hard repeating “Empress wake up/say something...” and he loses MC to the assassins somehow again (? I don’t really remember the details) and he cries hard recalling the MC’s last words “can’t you stay with me because I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen”
The MC was nowhere to be found for 2 years and during that time the ML turns into tyrannical king and everyone says it is due to the death of the empress. The ML finally fell in love with her, only to lose the MC so quickly afterwards so he was devastated. She comes back after 2 years with a new identity and in the end, they end up together.

I also read that the mc came back as a guy so there’s like a yaoi moment and the emperor fell in love with him becuz he reminded him of the empress and turns out the mc’s body is together with the people who was plotting the death of the emperor so emperor was hurt when he found out but she was like “no! I was protecting you! Etc etc” and then she died again the same way with the emperor going to lyn and her dying by herself and he was losing his mind once more. In the end she came back in her real body (the empress’ body) and they lived happily ever after.

I love the art but I don't even know if I wanna read this still after reading all the spoilers.

From what I’ve gleaned from other people’s comments, he appears to be more tsun than dere and his behavior toward the FL turned off many novel readers.
He falls in love with her eventually, but near the end, so at that point, many readers were too upset and wanted him to grovel more (or have her reject him) before she accepted him.
I'm sorry but that smile is freaking adorable.
