I kinda get why the manhwa ends like that. If they followed the novel, a lot of people wouldn't like it. But still, this ending is no better imo. If they wanted this to end differently, they should've done it better.
Anyway, I think I prefer the novel's just so I can read this when I feel sad and make myself sadder.

Well...
Ray went back to his kingdom, became an emperor, got married and had an heir. He and the ml still maintained their relationship and slept with each other, but they basically didn't end up together. Ending the story with them having a happy ending would be ideal, but although the ending was bittersweet, I think it made sense why it happened. After all, they were both emperors then.

Ok so apparently eddie didn’t kill MC, it was the duke who was “blamed” for it. Eddie actually has this rlly weird obsession with MC and rapes anybody who looks like him…
In the novel he almost immediately realizes MC is leo or wtv, and then tries to rape him after confessing hes loved and lusted him from the very start.
He also kills his own sons so that MC can become the king of strauss again without any interference. The novel ends with him dying from a sickenss or smth and MC becomes king of his home country

I know I shouldn't use human logic here, and maybe turn off my brain while reading. Haewon is a wolf, he's basically a beast/animal, so him being 2-3 years old for adult wolf makes sense...but boy it's still weird. And the fact that the MC see him as a family, and as a child. The age prolly wouldn't matter much if the MC himself didn't thought of Haewon as such.
