I came here to reread and finish this story. They really did have such great sexual chemistry that progressed into actual affection and love. At times, the FL was annoying, but I chopped it up as naivete, being that she was raised as a noble and formerly engaged to a prince. I can't believe I pay Manta for their stripped-down G rated comics that literally change the story and our impressions of the characters in those stories.

A bigger translation team hasn't picked this up or offered assistance to the current translator. Seems to be a pretty good story which people are interested in even if the smut isn't really smutty as I saw in a comment on another site or was it Tiktok?

Despite the crap translations (sorry BUT I'm not about to be fake nice here. Crap translations ruins a story..but thank you new uploader) Yet... from what can be gathered, the marital arrangements with both the Empress and royal concubine were of a political nature only. The Empress only ASSUMED that he was in love with the Concubine due to her own lackings. While the Emperor maybe guilty of neglect, there was never a love match with EITHER woman. He wanted a strong Empress which our FL initially wasn't. Now that the Empress (an imposter actually ) is finally acting out, his true feelings about the Concubine are becoming apparent and he is now second guessing himself. The story isn't about the Emperor redeeming himself. He was NEVER portrayed to be a good guy turned dick. The story is actually about the FL (Empress) getting a second chance to grow a backbone and become the strong, empowered woman the Emperor wanted his Empress to be. Too bad the actual Empress will never learn this lesson. The OG Empress, on her own decided to fall in love with such a cold man, but that was no fault of thr Emperor. He never lead her on which is far worse than simply being a cold individual. It's like forcing someone to like or love you because you like or love them. Life doesn't work that way.

I actually hated that Jiwoon and Suha ended up together. I felt Jiwoon deserved someone better, especially for what he endured at the hands of his awful grandmother. Dohyeok is also a victim when you think about it. He's a dick but was raised to be that way because of his grandmother. Call it having sympathy for the devil, but if anyone is to blame...It's Grandma! IDK why, but Siwoo looks like a more handsome and mature version of Suha when his hair is short. Overall, Siwoo and Dohyeok's story is far more interesting than the original which frustrated the heck out of me and deserves its own title and series.

So if that thought makes people mad, they probably should discontinue reading for their own sanity. For those willing to stay, let's just hope for some interesting character development. IMO, they are trauma bonding and both have poor self images of themselves for different reasons and circumstances. Not a bad read, but the same stereotypical characters nonetheless.

Who was guy who grabbed Winter at the end of Chapter 40. The ML and 2nd ML CEO looks so alike, now I'm confused

I really like this story, but these sudden wonky transactions are making everything so confusing and people are just making things up because of their hate for certain characters, which further confuses other readers when trying to get some clarity in comments

Also, it is well known that the Emperor had no love for his Empress. It is well known that the FL knew this and it is well known that she grew to have affections for a man who didnt return them. Also, the Emperor didn't particularly love the concubine in Empress first life , but the concubine was putting out so....

I like red flag ML'S so the ML here doesn't bother me. I knew what to expect from the story, but I do dislike how the FL'S are always made out to be the victims and how some just stay and resort to manipulations (which is no better than the manipulations of the skank usurper) instead of just getting the heck entirely out of the situation. Like deuces cuz every thing she's doing is just making him more attracted to her. I'd be making his life a living hell lol. He actually wanted a strong Empress and that's exactly what she's turning out to be so now it's his turn to fall for her. Not like a King/Emperor having concubines are a foreign concept.

PLUS what the Emperor allowed the concubine to do to her in the prior timeline hasn't occurred yet, but as we can see...the Emperor's feelings for the concubine really weren't what the FL thought otherwise he wouldn't be cold and treating her the way he is.

Is there going to be an influx of "I'm dropping this!!" comments when the Haekyung and Kihoon ship fails to sail? I'm just preparing myself now to have my popcorn ready and maybe some tissue for all the broken hearted People will just ship anyone regardless to the situation that character is in just because they hate the main character so. Kihoon loves Seohyun period!!! So why would anyone want to lower Haekyung standards in being some other dudes rebound whom he just happens to be friends with and lives in his house. Sheesh...People throw out the toxic label so much yet not understand that a rebound relationship is also toxic. Just let Woojin have his character development please

Cersei and Jaime Lannister is going on here. I was reading this on Manta and came here to confirm what the heck I was actually reading. I'm pretty open minded...but not incestuous minded. Imma nope outta here. Yall have fun

Btw...justify all you want. On Manta, it literally has an incest tag warning

Could never grasp the enormity of what Matthew's got going on down there
