i’m sure there’s plot reasons, but honestly the person the emperor “loved” almost killed him, and she even tried to sabotage the integrity of the state that could have resulted in a war, while also pretending to love him for sake of personal gain (going as far as to drug him), and basically planned a mass conspiracy behind his back while wasting boat loads of money in the process,,, at the very least send her away lmao but hey, I’m enjoying the drama so idc ashakdlfksl she is truly evil, worthy of being called a villain
but also the emperor also knows that he’s being used and manipulated and he’s like fine with it??? He said that he loves the fl but he’s not doing ANYTHING to help her istg our home girl truly deserves better, even her first time is dreadful,,, can’t wait for karma to finally hit
yes having a child at the age of 21 while being forcibly married to someone will take a toll on your mental health (not to mention the death of her father, bearing so much responsibility etc.) so can you really blame her tho
she was 16/17
oops that’s even worse omg
