I liked a lot this story, but I'm peeved by the fact that no mystery has been explained. What about ceo Kwon imagining secretary Jin all his life? What about the dreamed life, what was it actually? What about the supposed BDSM novel? What was even the deal with Yoon Yang, if there was any? So many questions unsolved!

My take away from it was, their was two time lines one was the original time of jins life with the novel. then the other was CEO Kwons that existed in the novel.when Jin was transported it changed to adapt to having the real Jin in it which then became the future of the past they were transported back to, to esensaly do things the right way, meet, fall in love date without the confinement and I think yoon Yang was just the novel version then when Jin was transported to there time line he became irrelevant

I started reading this years ago and initially liked it, but I was already fed up with it the moment the child was acknowledged as an imperial prince because everything had come back to the starting point. The FL was again trapped as an empress and in a loveless marriage, making all she tried useless.
I don't even remember what episode is that but it's when I stopped reading. So, does it improve at any moment? Does the emperor start caring for the FL a little bit? Or does she manage to escape again and live her life freely, like she wanted to?

In the novel she stayed in her position as an empress for her son. But she never really "loved" the emperor as much as she did before. They almost have like an amicable relationship. She doesn't hate nor love the emperor. But the emperor really took this chance to win her trust and love again. But she never really gave her heart to the emperor.

Well, that doesn't sound hald bad, at least both of them learned their lessons and now they have to live with what they did.
But wait, since you say "in the novel", I surmise this manga adapt is different... Let me guess, FL falls head over heels in love for the ML all over again and everything in forgotten? -_-!
@AkumaKira, is missing your chapter 183. I don't know if it got deleted when you fixed 184. And now also chapter 185.
Thank you again for all your awesome work! :-)
