Why doesn't she go to Karnon and say "Hey, you know my powers? They are actually his. Want to secure power? You know what to do." I know the emperor will only see their relationship as necessary to maintain their power but at least it will be kicking him where it hurts because it's not HIS family who maintains the royal power, it's actually Ethan.

I don't think he's going to tell her his feelings and instead he'll do something he'll regret A LOT.
I hope I'm wrong and they have a long, nice and sincere talk BUT my instinct tells me drama approaches.

Fr fr!! I want to know more about the couple in Pervaz (and I think they'll somehow become the new rulers of Pervaz) than the main couple. At this point, they are just emotional bricks with worst skills of communication than a 3 yo.
Gimme the ones who are communicating, getting to know each other, falling in love and being cutie patooties over those "I'm not gonna tell him/her how I feel because I didn't learn how to talk to another person about my feelings and needs" idiots.

Hey Tae-li, I don't know if you'll read this but I want you to stay with us.
I know the darkest hour never comes in the night but I hope all our messages, our get well wishes, our cheers bring a bit of light to your life.
Life might be hard, harsh and unfair and it's valid and totally normal for you to feel as you do, we are all weak against our circumstances. However, you are not alone, see the comment section's worried about you, remember the feel of a hug from someone you love and loves/loved you, go see a flower bloom or go watch the birds fly in the sky, take a walk through nature.
Wonder how beautiful and quiet sometimes life can be. Find one thing a day that may bring joy to your day to day: the colours of dawn or sunset, a ladybug on top of a flower, a child and a dog playing, that sensation of the sun in your skin on a cold day, your favourite ice cream on a hot day. Life is all about these little moments of quiet joy, of pure calmness...
Keep a diary, find 1000 of these small joys and draw or write about them. This is what I did when I was in that same place you are now. It may seem difficult, even impossible, but things will get better for you.
I may not know you irl, I might be (and am) one of those strangers of the internet but I do know that you are a beautiful soul and that you are not alone, give yourself a hug from me and tell yourself from me "everything will be all right, maybe not now, maybe not today, but one day it will be alright and we'll be dancing while singing and smiling"
Don't give up Tae-li!
Ok so I would love you so much, strangers from the internet who also love Yaoi, if you can tell me stories with similar green flags like this couple. Specially, characters who are green flags like Andrew.
I can read anything, I've read too many... Yaoi things... But I would love to read more healthy, green flag couples. Send them my way, plz
I’d deff recommend “our sunny days” if you haven’t read already. It’s so refreshing and both of them are GREEN FLAGSSS
Idk if you've read these things already but here you go </3
King's Maker https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/king_s_maker/ (read ONLY up to chapter 37.5 then swap over to this one https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/king_s_maker_triple_crown/)
-if you like some historical/fantasy plot as well :) it's very good bl aside. they get freaky later on when they grow up if you're wondering, but s1 is veeery good on it's own already if you appreciate fantasy settings with kingdoms and stuff with revolutions and all that.
Alien in my Closet https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/alien_in_my_closet/
-actually one of my most underrated recs haha i think they're super cute, super green flag
When the Killer Falls in Love https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/when_the_killer_falls_in_love/
-there's no smecks in this but it's def got sex appeal! green flags!!! the fact that it's an assassin story aside LOL but i promise it's super funny and cute if you vibe with the setting!
You and I can't do this https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/you_and_i_can_t_do_this/
-okay so this one starts out on a rough note (just usual enemies to lovers stuff, nothing like abusive lol) and stays like that for a bit longer but i PROMISE he becomes a green flag later on a whole forest even considering how much bad experiences our mc has had in the past he delivers so well :)
Feel free to ask any questions!
