I am adding or rather clarifying details about Taejoo's new bf. Yoon & Taejoo's first meeting in the restaurant was awful but I want to remind ppl Taejoo has no clue at all what Yoon had been through. He thought he just disappeared on him & was ready to lash out. At this part, the new bf KNOWS Yoon was in a coma & is alive, so when he tagged along with the reunion, he wanted to hurt Yoon on purpose. He knows the guy just woke up from coma but the first thing he wanna do is flaunt that he successfully nabbed Taejoo.
The emotional manipulation he orchestrated is just horrible. Taejoo was depressed & out of his damn mind looking for his greatest love & it made it easier to manipulate him. Like what I said in my previous topic, he's trying to convince himself he made the right decision. Adding to this is the new bf's constant whining & nagging about his insecurity. Honestly if Taejoo is the MC, a lot of ppl would be on his team. I hope he snaps out of his new bf's guilt tripping & MOVE ON. Yoon is his past & he needs to let go as well.

again Tea choose to bring his new bf to this meeting despite the asshole has nothing to do with this! and he still chooses to treat Yoon like he did and he did know he was in a coma, if he didn't how did he manage to blame him for being in a coma?!
and don't say he didn't blame him, he did in the text blame him.
he still chooses to end it in such a disgusting way even if he thought the guy disappear on him, he still should have listened to his side of the story!
still his fault so he has to live with his mistakes! and that's fine, there is no need to try and say he wasn't at fault at all! it is Tea fault and he is paying for it now, and that's okay. he will learn and get better with time.

'Taejoon' didn't honestly know Yoon was in a coma, he just learned that was the case during their first meeting after 5 years. You can read chapter 1 again to verify that.
And I think you're not getting my point. I've wrote in the topic I linked that I acknowledge Taejoon was an ass to Yoon. However you're too engrossed in Yoon's POV that you can't even consider Taejoon's perspective. In no way I am saying he's faultless, but his new bf is largely at fault with how things turned out.
Taejoon thought he raped the new bf, so he said he'll take responsibility. New bf didn't correct this, and went along with it because he's obsessed with Taejoon. New bf also knew Yoon was in a coma but he didn't tell Taejoon. So all the while Taejoon is distressed looking for Yoon, he just withheld the truth & pretended to comfort Taejoon. New bf also constantly whined about his insecurity towards Yoon so that Taejoon would take his side. Tae felt indebted to his new bf as well, thinking he helped him not knowing he was lied to. As a result, Tae felt he had to make it up to the new bf & agreed to stay with him.
Taejoon is a victim of emotional manipulation, & as a result, he treated Yoon harshly because he wanted to convince himself he made the right decision. Yes, it's his fault too but had that red haired guy told him the truth, I don't think things will happen like it did. I'm explaining Taejoon's psychosis, not glorifying him. So even though he hurt Yoon, I do not harbor ill feelings towards him. I just hope he'll move on. I don't even root for him to be the endgame, because he's not what Yoon needs. Yoon loves his career & Taejoon is against it in fear of Yoon's life - which makes them not compatible, imo.

it doesn't really matter if Tae was a victim or not though. he could still end things with Yoon in a much nicer way more human way! and now he wants Yoon back, don't expect me to care about it.
I don't care about Tae, again I'm not saying he is the worst, but what he did to Yoon is still too horrible and unforgivable for me! again for me, I just can't forgive him for blaming Yoon after finding out he WAS IN A FUCKING COMA!
he should fix himself first before even trying to get close to Yoon on anyone else. he is a mass, not his fault, but he should have to get rid of these toxic people in his life a long time before meeting with Yoon! right after he notice this person trying to force you to forget your past, but that Tae still needs to learn.

I'm sorry but the point really just whooshes over you. I get it, you hate Taejoo & you're not capable of seeing things in his perspective. Blame him for not being able to cut ppl off his life while not being mentally & emotionally unstable. I'm not even arguing that he's faultless, because he has a lot of those, I'm just stating he's also a victim, but you said it doesn't matter. What are you trying to say, exactly? Because if it's your hatred towards Taejoo's character, I know that already. Do you want me to think the same as you do....??
Things are not black & white. My main point was about the new bf's manipulation of Taejoo & how it affected things but you dislike Taejoo so much that you didn't even try to comprehend.

I said what matter is actions in the end of the day. what makes Tae actions until now better in any way, shape or form? other than him feel sorry for himself. was it anyone fault he is doing those stupid shit? no!
if he can't raise himself, there is no one that can! Yoon has much he got "help" he still knows when to cut it off and move himself up, and trust me Yoon had it harder and worse than Tae. so I won't feel pitty on Tae, he didn't do anything that deserves it.

CMIIW but, Taejoo only got together with the insecure new bf because he thought he sexually assaulted the guy, right? He got too drunk because he's so helpless looking for Yoon, and next thing he knew he was in bed with the new bf. So feeling guilty, he said he'll take responsibility. Idk, I don't hate this guy at all.
He was an ass to Yoon esp when Yoon just woke up from the coma but I feel he's trying to convince himself he made the right decision on giving up on Yoon. He prolly thought he's indebted to new bf as well because the guy was beside him through it all, when we all know new bf is just manipulating the emotionally unstable Taejoo. I hope he breaks up with the lying, manipulative guy (who knew Yoon was alive) and move on with his life as well.

With Sei's amount of work done, I'd like to believe he is the true saint lmao
I also like this elaborate plot just to make the mcs fck. It's quite funny when they get technical about the explanations with magic intoxication & whatnots, because we all know it's just an excuse to make them do the snusnu

With how the story is going, Yanzhi (MC) will never be Zongze's (ex) priority, & that makes them ill-fated. Zongze is completely tied down by his family & his desire for an impeccable reputation. Even when he gives in & hugged Yanzhi because of all his pent up emotions, he still answered "No I won't break up with my gf to save face." There's too much internalized homophobia in his system for their relationship to work. Not to mention he let 9 years pass without doing anything.
Pei Lei, on the other hand, is shown to be passionate, hardworking, & eager. Not too much about his background, but he is much much more promising than Zongze. Even Zongze acknowledges Pei Lei is a good catch that's why he doesn't want Yanzhi to choose Pei Lei to be the assistant. He's much more willing to choose the douche who has a reputation to fck around, & that says a lot. Zongze wanna gatekeep Yanzhi but doesn't want to work for it!
Summary: PEI LEI!!!

Just a bunch of spoilers for those who want them:

* Kian or Cain is indeed a royal, but an illegitimate one. His mom was a saintess & she was the one who put a curse on him (I don't remember why lmao)
* Marchioness Justaccia will be the empress in the future
* Motia will be an independent territory, a pretty powerful one too because of the archmage & the sword master couple
* Harriod (blondie prince of the West) will find his match & fall in love. His son will fall in love with Kian & Countess' daughter.
* The main couple will age pretty slowly because of their powers, something their children inherited.
If you're up for it, there are more detailed spoilers in novel updates forum. Just google the title of the manhwa & add spoilers at the last part, & the first result should be the correct site.

There's not much spoilers in the forum, there are a lot of missing details which are not shared yet but this is the only biggest spoiler I've read:

Ranon isn't the 1st prince, he's the previous emperor. Ranonten Karchuchu. I also don't know howwww, I'm camping at the spoiler forum on novel update

I could forgive that Erica broke up with Leo because she's afraid of loving him more deeply just to be dumped for Yulliana like in the novel, however based on the spoilers somewhere down the section, it seems the progression of the plot made her a btch. If she really could see that Leo wasn't the same Leo in the novel, & she still likes him enough to give him hope but goes for the friend anyway is pretty much an asshole move. The writing really made her a true villainess!
Honestly I think going for your ex's bff is a douche move. That's just horrible esp if you know at least one is still in love. I can't seem to like Zion & Erica's future relationship in this case

They aren’t really bffs Zion mentions how he felt like they were friends. Plus three whole years has passed. It’s also normal to date an ex’s friend especially if you’re in the same friend circle. Also the whole bro and sis code is stupid. It’s pike saying once you dated someone and broken up they are still yours ya know

Ah I’m going off my own experiences.
I told my friend that I still had feelings for my ex Bc she had feelings for my ex too but I was chill with it. I was jealous at first but then i sorted my ass out. We broke up. We ended. There’s nothing more in our relationship. We may meet yes but I’ll rather not meet. That’s my mindset. Although it may cause tension but if if your friend and ex truly love each other then SUPPORT THEM.
It may be a dick move but if they do find happiness then as friends we should support them instead of ruining that because of our own selfishness

If everyone really left Rubia alone, do you think we'll have a story in the 1st place? I'm actually glad there are ppl knocking at that damn door because it means plot progress. Surely no one picked this story up just to read Rubia sleep for 72 hrs then eat & repeat. Some characters may be annoying but you gotta have those in a story, I guess
This is so beautiful! Would love to reread this someday. Artwork is giving me fairytale vibes, and the plot is beautifully woven like a fairytale as well! I love that this has some cruel parts, so reality is being reflected as well. Love love love it
