Aigoo, he looks so good in it! Bae is also feeling itლ(´ڡ`ლ) Tbh, I have a real urge to peg him(￣∇￣")
Ngl, I don't really feel the chemistry between He Tian and Little Mo, or at least, it's not my type. I enjoyed it a lot more when the OG pair, Jian Yi and Zhen Xi were the main focus but I get why the author added more character. They're still my fave couple~
Ps. I can feel the fangirls rioting with thumbs down~
I think I feel a lot of chemistry
I can tell He tian likes Little Mo.. and I feel like Little Mo what’s to deny his feelings but we can tell he cares for him. Just like the time she tian got injured when they were in the forest in the rain and you could tell Little Mo was about to cry and when he saw He tian the first thing he did was hug him. And also He tian is very touchy, and he also gets jealous too, just like when the girl purposely, or not, fell on Little Mo he pushed her off before she could get to it. Idk I feel a lot of chemistry between them and I really like them a lot. All 4 of them are really interesting. Why don’t you feel any chemistry though? If anything I feel a lot of lingering chemistry between them though, also with Jian Yi and Zhen Xi
Yeah, I get where you're from doe I clarified that in my first sentence; their relationship isn't really my type. I don't really recall the exact circumstances because I started reading this years ago, but their relationship and characters never really clicked for me like Jian Yi and Zhen Xi did, doe tbh I was also a little salty because those 2 were getting less screen time (imo) ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I definitely don't dislike either He Tian or Little Mo, I like them both, I just don't care about the romantic aspect. (=・ω・=)
Yeah true
Oh okay. I love their relationship and I’m always looking for to them. Though I’m looking forward to all of them too. I just personally love them. But we all have our preferences and I can’t argue with you for that :)
Looking forward *
I enjoy reading about Mo and He Tian for the character development. Their relationship feels like a journey. It makes you wonder will they ever get to the point that Jian Yi and Zhen Xi are at and with their relationship changing I feel a hope that it does so I want to see how it happens. With Jian Yi and Zhen Xi, you can tell that they love each other from start. The most “growth” we got from them is that love confession but even after that not much changed because they already are the most important people in each other lives. With these two I’m more interested in the future, what happens after “one day”. Jian Yi is trying to get back what might be have been lost during his time away and I wonder if Zhen Xi feels the same or wants to keep his distance so he didn’t go through that pain again.
I love this comment
What a sweet comment ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ You just gave me a new interpretation of He Tian and Little Mo and I really liked it! Thanks for your reply~
I keep chickening out. I love psychological manga/manwha/manhua/webtoon whatever but I really hate it when gore is shown visually. Like I can read gore but I can't see. Still, I'm really interested in this. To read or not to read; that is the question.
I was gonna yeet out of here if it delved too much into the furry territory but thank the Gods nothing happened! That being said, FL is beautiful and strong and please let her blond friend not be fucked over by plot.
Ngl, I was really into this webtoon till the Indian Caste System got completely bastardized and disrespected. IDGAF if it's fiction, whoever the author is, do not ever use someone else's culture as an aesthetic piece in your story, webtoon, clothes whatever. Especially if you haven't ever researched on it, your ignorance shows. The author could have used a few brain cells to simply come up with a different set of names for a beauty-rank system. People have died in India due to the exploitation of this system and to see this disrespect is astounding tbh. Unless you're Indian, don't bother giving me your 2 cents.
Ikrr I am so offended. Caste system is a very sensitive topic for us and look at how they are using it.
I’m not trying to argue btw, but I’d like to be educated on what’s the problem with the manhwa and the caste system? And why there is an issue?
Yea I wanna know too
Idk about Indian Caste system but i agree that some of these manhwa authors are very insensitive and lazy at doing research about other cultures to use in their work. In Capable Maid manhwa, the author created a supposed Muslim character and portrayed him as "unnecessarily difficult and bothersome" for requesting food to be prepared in a certain way. It's such a huge turn off how the author used a character that culturally is so close to me to be someone who's trying to start a war. Like bruh that is offensive af.
India’s caste system is a social structure that divides different groups into ranked categories. Members of “higher” castes have a greater social status than individuals of a “lower” caste. I'm not Indian so I'm not gonna tell you how to feel or react. I understand after doing some research.
Basically, in Hindu India, people are divided into 4 different classes, with the Brahmins being at the top, and the Shudras at the bottom. This how jobs, money, level of education, living conditions and basically your level of equality was decided. However, there existed a 5th class, known as the Untouchables (or Dalits) who were simply that, not meant to be touched. Imagine think that a whole group of people were cursed and touching them would be unholy. They had to pick up the trash with their bare hands, dispose of dead animals, manually scavenge, get rotten food and basically lived in horrible, inhumane conditions. They were sub-par humans for thousands of years, and still are treated that way. Imagine being forced to drink water off someone's shoes. Worse than that, imagine being forced to consume human feces or urine. That's what endured and what they still endure. These social divides also forbade inter-caste marriage, otherwise both the bride and groom would be killed by their own families to protect their 'honour'. Even now, after our Constitution criminalized the act of Untouchability, these honour killings continue and the Caste System continues to destroy lives. People of the 5th class eat gutter meat, live in extreme poverty without education, are treated cruelly by other classes, work in life-threatening jobs such as cleaning drains, and basically live horrible lives. Even among the elite Indians, who are 'educated', 'rich' or urban, caste is a highly influential. This author, with her limited, or non-existent knowledge, had no right to include the Caste System and bastardize it so disrespectfully on the basis of looks, calling the Dalit class ugly. She had no right when she could've easily made her own system, to so flagrantly use a system despite the cruel history it has. She's an ignorant, privileged, insensitive woman with little creativity. Sorry for the late reply and the anger I might have displayed, but I hate what this webtoon did, so I dropped it.
Am I the only one confused as to how all these random ass people can talk back to the MC like she's not the heir to the throne like??? I get it's fiction but come on, some common sense please, no matter the setting if you talk to nobility like that you'd get smacked. Literally in the raws the MC and the littlebitchwhosenameIforgot seem to have some kind of show down where MC is constantly disrespected by that little bitch but nothing is done? No consequence is given, MC just gets demeaned. To be fair, Idk how to read the raws but maybe there's some context but I really dislike how indecisive MC is an position of power like gurl you're the fucking heir to the throne rn, get yo shit together!
Ps. sorry for the rant.
PPS. Also, in the next chapter MC does confront the little bitch again who actually has the gall to scream at the fucking Empress like u dumb hoe, do you wanna die?
Can i have a link for the rawssss??
Contains spoilers

Yah, I also come across the part where she scream at the empress like are you not scared acting that way to a noble? Σ( ￣□￣||)
Actually I read the raws and to be honest I literally freak out when her brother (the current king) fall in love with the littlebitchwhosenameIforgot which was a special route something and I was like "What?!?! You swing that way? I thought you are a wise king". Though I must say that bitch does not care who she end up with.... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
But so far the latest chapter (chapter 23) the 4th concubine name Eclot (not sure if that's how his name is spelled) who return from war sided with the FL and put littlebitchwhosenameIforgot in a tight position whether to kill her (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
And of course that btch won't die so easily if she were to die then thats the end of the story and of cause we haven't seen the 5th concubine and I can't wait to see him ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Oh that's great to see! I was really surprised at how people just kept screaming at the MC like she's not actual royalty and yea the 4th concubine is hella awesome(づ￣ ³￣)づ BTW, there was dark-skinned captain of guards we saw in the raws, is he not a ML?
If my guess is correct he might be the 5th concubine since he also appear in the novel cover (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I mean he is hot so what if he is one of the concubine hehe ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
First of all, I'll start by saying that I love the MCs and this story, it's really well done. So please, no idiots comment saying I shouldn't read it if I don't like it, it'll make you look like an idiot.
Ok then. Rant time.
1st, Taejun was also at fault for starting an affair with a married man with a kid, probably twice his age and expecting smooth sailing. Unless the other woman/man was oblivious, they're also at fault for fucking a cheater. Don't get me wrong, Prof. was also in the wrong, but blaming him for Taejun's death was an emotionally plausible, but idiotic statement. Also, that line about Taejun committing suicide being his own choice or something he did for himself for the first time was pretty messed up. Suicide is basically a person giving away their agency; it's not a choice, it's the absence of one. Nonetheless, Prof.'s ending was bittersweet and realistic and I actually really liked him from what little I saw.
2nd, the Hyung and Uncle's relationship was just a shoddy, idiotic attempt at giving every 'pitiful' character a happy ending. It was so unnecessary that their entire arc made me cringe.
3rd, Juha and Doyoon were for me, really underdeveloped. I could never forgive Juha for that comment he told Taeyi about how he couldn't even save his own brother, something he never even apologize forヽ(`Д´)ﾉ IDGAF how traumatised someone is, if I was in Taeyi's shoes and they said that about my dead brother, I'd break their jaw or at least only move on with a proper apology but Juha did neither yet I'm supposed to like him? He also assaulted Seheon, a character I'm actually invested in and he also gave a half-assed apology and the whole thing was then brushed right off. Also, when tf did Doyoon get time to fall in love Juha in the first place? Juha hung mainly around Taeyi and ignored Doyoon, when did Doyoon fall in love with him? Was it while his ankle was being crushed? Or was it because of the 'sad' look in Juha's eyes that made you pity him while the asshole broke your ankle like omg this sad boi, I'm sooo gay(▰˘◡˘▰) Did his bones being crushed make him horny like?? （/TДT)/ Even that apology is half-assed and Doyoon excuses it because he's 'in love' with Juha, like babe, that's toxic. Juha is the classic example of 'I had a terrible childhood and now I'm a jackass so that excuses my actions', like bro . . . you're about to fucking graduate, couldn't you have thought of IDK, seeing a therapist? Doyoon also became a fucking idiot whenever Juha was around, like bruh, your crush assaulted someone, you still like them so you're a fucking idiot anyways, but then you made them both sit uncomfortably together during a trip and failed to inform the victim so you could get laid. These two just made me uncomfortable and you could've added in a voice-over for their parts and the story wouldn't change. It'd be better even. At least Taeyi and Seheon address the violent parts in their initial relationship with Seheon taking shit from no one, that's my baby (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Finally, Juhee was just a fucking nightmare. I hate it when girls are portrayed as utter bitches in media but that bitchiness is normalised. Like bro, I don't need to tell you whom I'm dating if I reject you. I could be the loneliest person in the world, still reject you and not owe you any explanation. Fuck off.
Of course, Taeyi and Seheon were the best and no I don't take criticism. I'd give this a solid 3 out of 5. Not bad.
Ps. the character sketch of Juha was hot if not cliche in the beginning, they just turned him into a caricature of a repressed gay boi during his arc with Doyoon. Sad.
Wholeheartedly agreed. I really enjoyed it but actually, the further into the story we went from one point, the more things didn't *click* right.
Seheon is my favourite character - that boy is my baby.
"Suicide is basically a person giving away their agency; it's not a choice, it's the absence of one." I wouldn't say it's the absence of choice but rather, the inability to see other choices.
Very well put. I completely understand your point of view. Suicide really does limit one's ability to see other choices.
i really like how you pointed out that taejun was also at fault and that the prof shouldnt be blamed for his suicide. that’s what really turned me off from this manga even tho it used to me my absolute favorite. i didn’t like how suicide was tackled in this.
i just really felt bad for the prof and i wish someone couldve told him that suicide wasn’t his fault. like what u pointed out taejun committed suicide bc he’s trauma or depression made him unable to see other choices.
suicide should NEVER be blamed on somebody else unless ofc an individual actually directly told or caused someone to commit suicide.
Yeah the way suicide was handled was really disappointing. First people claimed that Taejun committing suicide was the only time he did something for himself and I was like wtf ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Then they claimed that he was happy before he committed suicide and I was like (╬￣皿￣)凸 Finally the Prof. was the only one blamed as though Taejun hadn't willingly had an affair with a married man. Taejun in no way was a blameless little angel like the webtoon made him out to be. Yes his treatment was shitty but he was also an adult who made terrible choices. He didn't deserve to die but no one caused his death except for himself. The Prof. deserved better than being constantly blamed for Taejun's death when the real shitty thing he did was cheating on his wife and that wasn't even addressed as a real problem(⊙…⊙ )
i agree with everything except the part of you liking the prof like he was supposed to be the teacher and shoulda stopped it but ehh i really loved the story mostly just taeyi and seheon bc they are sooo cuteee!! OMG and the part where you said every pitiful character has to get a happy ending i always see those tropes and its SOO IRRITATING like i wouldnt mind it if they didnt get together and juha... just no i lived your comment and replies and im so glad we agree on basically everything with this storyyyy
'i agree with everything except the part of you liking the prof like he was supposed to be the teacher and shoulda stopped it '
Oh absolutely! Taejun was the one who came onto Prof. but Prof. was really senior to him, a married man with kids and a teacher. Him doing what he did was still abusing the power dynamics he had and failing as an educator (at least he got w a University student and not a high school student but small mercies), but what I meant was that how his story progressed after Taejun's death and the genuine regret he had. He's a realistic character who was unfairly blamed as the only character at fault when Taejun was just as, if not more at fault. Hopefully he'll focus on his career and teaching again, ad never lay hands on a student even if they come to him first. He has both the power and responsibility to stop any ill-begotten crush.
But ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ (￣ε(#￣)Σ
I'm so happy you agree with me!
(づ￣ ³￣)づ muah! in my opinion i dont think the professor should be teaching anymore like yeah i did like the genuine regret he was feeling but the fact still stays that he chose to continue that relationship with a studentt!!! cmonn. thats just gross to me T T but i love people who make thorough comments that really get you thinking on a deeper side of things YOURE AN AMAZING PERSON
You know what?! I agree (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Prof shouldn't be a teacher anymore because even though Taejun came onto him, he had all the power and authority to make it stop! And he failed there (︶︿︶)＝凸 He should just work on himself as a person and maybe find a different career.
Awww, you're making me blush! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I'm so happy to have encountered all these users who are up for a discussion and don't take the slightest hint of dissent personally and start screeching and gate-keeping about 'how it's all fictional!1!1!1 don't you know the difference?2?2' like ok, calm down. Just because it's fictional doesn't mean that it's not rooted in reality. It's open to criticism and you don't need to take everything as a personal attack.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!
