at the end of the day, i hope river does forgive khaol, even if it takes a long time it’s best for the both of them. however, i don’t want them to get back together nor become friends because of how shitty khaol was. i pray heil is endgame because they love each other very much and deserve each other. i’ll be extremely disappointed if the author puts khaol as endgame cause of all the shit he’s done
besides the fact that wangye is a piece of shit and the emperor is plotting something maybe, i think yu’er has this idealized version of wangye. because wangye has treated him somewhat nicely, and the fact that yu’er is in love with him, yu’er i guess excuses his actions every time wangye does something to harm him. i just want yu’er to open his eyes and realize wangye isn’t this nice person he thinks he is :/
it’s like would you rather go with the dickhead with an attitude or the guy who’s gonna enjoy torturing you like they both bad options
