I'm still rooting for the main couple to come through but listen... The pm's second son kinda gives me unreliable narrator vibes, hear me out pls lol
While it is true that he's pursuing the princess for his own selfish ends, idk it kinda feels like he has deeper feelings for her. Like him being disappointed when she didn't come to him for help.
And even the end, where he says he'll be pushing her back to the dirty political sphere when he brings her back, there's no doubt in his mind that he will find her and bring her back.
And even the last part where we see the princess as a queen dying in front of him, he says that they'll all end up in hell anyway, it kinda makes me feel like even if he's the one who ends up being the cause of her death, he'll follow her to hell or sumn idk lol.
Might be me overthinking but lowkey reminds me of a webnovel called "Wife can't escape".
I love how the characters are make sense for once in a manhua. The main couple is so adorable and I love how all the characters are well fleshed out. No braindead clownery, no one is totally OP, no unnecessary drama who woulda thunk!!!! I'm so curious babout the grandma tho, can't wait for her character arc (❁´◡`❁)
Like sure I get it, it's a shock and everything but her violent reaction to 'whoring it up with women' is kinda annoying. Whether his backstory is real or not, it's his choice to do what he does. To assume that he wouldn't do stuff like that just cause he's an idol and be all enraged by it idk lowkey triggers me. So what if he has an innocent public persona? What gives her the right to act all righteously angry about it? Just cause she stanned the image he projected? Just cause she's a huge fan of that dude doesn't give her the right to have any say about his private life, let alone be so violent about it.
Ik it's just a smutty story and it ain't that seriously thought out but I just wish the author thought of some other scenario for the masochistic dude. Whenever the topic of prostitution eliciting disgust and rage from people has always made me so fucken angry. Like sure he might be doing it out of real economic reasons or he just personally likes it, what gives anyone the right to think it's any lower than manual labour? Just cause you think sex is a private act doesn't give you the right to enforce that view on anyone else.
It's rich coming from a witch mc who literally fucks people in their dreams to get energy. Not saying she's a prostitute by amy means but you can't deny the similarity in the work ethics involved.
Exactly. She sleeps with people in their dreams for money and he sleeps with people irl for money. She's being real hypocritical, especially since he said that it was a job he took up to pursue his dreams. Being an idol is a tough job and although a job like that can damage their image there's been other idols who have had similar "scandals" irl too (like idols who had pornos and the like). His idol image isn't who he is as a person and fans shouldn't force their own image on their idols. They're humans too.
This should be the logical reaction lol. Imagine if the positions were flipped- if a dude hit a female idol because she was a host the comment section would've been full of angry complaints and the story itself might have been cancelled. But it's okay as it's a masochistic man who's getting hit and belittled in a dream, right? ( °_ʖ °)
I'm so hooked like for all the MC's professed love for plants, it's based off of the fact that they are not a threat to her. She doesn't hesitate to use nature as a tool to satisfy her desires and in that context I love Daun being the representative of the manner in which nature exists as is- outside of human imagination and cultural associations. The terror that Arum suffers because of her guilt and her fright towards Daun - who is otherwise still following her will - has nice existential undertones I feel where her value systems are falling apart and the way in which she perceives the world around her itself is undergoing a massive shift. (Raskolnikov who? lmao).
Also love the fact that the Arum is a girl, lowkey a v v cool subversion of the whole woman-nature association where both are equated to being beautiful and under patriarchal control. In this sense, Daun appearing as a man is also interesting. The gender performance of a man who is being implemented as a tool, as opposed to the guiding reason behind the action of the story is aaaaaah I love love LOVE this comic so so much, I can't wait to see how this unfolds.
