his sister shows up NOW?!
where was she when he first got to his place. she's so out of the loop, she thinks the only way he be there is if he was kidnapped?
she let the teacher take advantage of his naivete back home and at the lords place.
then she ahows up kicking up a fuss without knowing exactly what situation he's in fisrt? thats the kind of ish that gets people killed. IF he was really kidnapped, the lord would have easily hidden him, and moved and disposed of him after kicking her out, and that would have been that. I am unimpressed by this noona. everyone knows when dealing with arrogant rich people, you first get the tea from the service staff then make moves. ugh. this poor boy is being failed on all sides
I knoww like get the deets first sis she went in hot and unprepared!!!
i'm team emperor. what in the hell's was that? thinking about who he relied on to survive when you failed to protect him from the crazy lady and again feom the elements when you failed to track him down?
How is he not blaming himself for being the worlds shittiest partner?
trash being kmt
True but also I don’t like the emperor because he’s lying to stir up trouble. Also he’s impulsive, and says and does what he wants.
lol he hasnt lied yet. he just says stuff in a VERY suggestive manner to rile his friend up. as for the rest, he's the emperor. i'm surprised that he's not a dick, cuz the rest of the emperors in other stories are different variations of complete trash.
i just want yu to be adored and to be safe. and since his current bf is petty as hell, so even though he's ignoring him, he won't let him leave either. so his only options would be dudes just as powerful or more powerful than him unfortunately.
At this point I think yu is better off single. I heard some stuff and I doubt any of them will treat him right.
undoubtedly he'd be better off without either of them but with egos that big, letting him leave is not an option people like that understand.
True they will definitely be fighting over who will have him. Ugh hate ittttt I just hope my baby ends up happy and healthy!!
How does Rourou do it? this the first tantrum i can whole heartedly get behind.
Rourou's life's been upgraded, he cant go back to eating food mystery food when gourmet is an option. that would be insane. Plus if they dis take him I doubt he'd be able to finish up healing grandpa feng.
Now all that needs to happen is beauty and handome (XD) to tell his dads their gay, cause i really dont think they are going to figure it out on their own.
*shock* just realized rourou has 3 great grand parents and at least 1 great great grandparent 0.0
is being a scrapper part of fengfeng's hiring criteria? cuz having 2 competent baddy PAs cannot be a coincidence XD
why is Rourous great geandpa giving jim aweful nightmares? i mean it sucks for him that he might die before his own dad but thats no reason to haunt a child smdh
I dont think hes doing it on purpose dawg
Chill bro hes CLEARLY not doing it on purpose
doesn't add up. nothing organic about that transition. a rational, amicable, dreamer and ruler sees a hickey on someone he has a lowkey crush on and finds out there are spies in his court (and knows in his gut that it wasnt his crushes doing) so he just mentally flops the switch into being a living raping nightmare? I know these things arent rational but as a monarch he's always had an enabling environment to be a monster. A hickey and lords being lords just seems super insignificant.
The king has always been ruthless, I mean, he singlehandedly brought down the 5 noble families quite early into his reign. Like most rulers, he hella paranoid. So if such a person were to ever trust/ love anyone, but was later betrayed, he'd definitely be much more beastly. He was never rational, amicable etc. He appeared that way to the MC, but to the others, he was ruthless and coldblooded. A tyrant.
u sure? i thought all that came after he turned rapist?
Chapter 25 has a rough summary of his accomplishments before he'd met our MC. To have achieved all of that before 25, it's indicative that a lot of his enemies blood was shed. As for the reason he was kind to the MC, it's cuz he knew that the MC was being sabotaged when he saw the blueprints for the palace but the MC didn't cower or make excuses. He confidently spoke of his vision and I think that truly appealed to the emperor. As for why he was cruel to our MC, he truly believed that there was a love affair.....regardless, that emperor is and was always a tyrant who only knew to plunder to get what he wanted. He has a special place in hell.
******@++++ is correct. The bad blood between the 5 noble families & the emperor existed from the very beginning. That's why Heun chose to stay silent, for fear he would make things worse by telling the truth. The livelihood of entire clan was at stake. While the emperor felt betrayed, after all, this is a guy he knew came from the enemy's clan, but he chose to trust him, & ended up liking him. But Heun returned the favor by either "plotting treason with the clan" or "using spies to set up trysts at the palace". Understandably, he was enraged. His pride would not have allowed that. And so he forced Heun into his harem, & when Heun would not be subdued, he tortured him, crushed his foot, etc. (yes, being an emperor apparently makes him unaware of how to properly love another person). At the end, he resorted to using the aphrodisiac, which mellowed Heun, much to his delight. And for that, he paid the ultimate price, losing the one he truly loved.
Oh, I didn't think he believed the part about treason. Since his followers were harping about it, he bought it up.....but, what enraged him was the potential affair. He'd been trying to court him (or what passed as courting for an emperor) but was always rejected. Now he realizes it's cuz there may've been s/o else in the MC's heart...etc.
Either way it's the same, the circumstances forced his hand, because in this kind of royal setting (where the ruler's position isn't set in stone, and thus he absolutely can't afford to blindly trust anybody) it doesn't matter what the ruler actually thinks about a situation, but what it looks like to all other people... I mean, in Asian kingdoms it's always painted like this in fiction: even the king's own blood relatives, and even his own children, can and may be (constantly) trying to find a way to steal the throne from him, let alne his subjects. So, once his subjects start thinking he can be "fooled", it can quickly turn into a *game over*, for a king.
...Moreover, if it's a brand new kingdom, recently created out of the conquest and forced annexation of several smaller kingdoms, where he can't claim rulership from "tradition", and thus his own position is much less "secure".
Nwwwwice
******@++++ and Jayjay thanks for the explanations x3
Wonderfully worded!
why didnt he take Yuki with hiiim? Yuki wouldnt be giving up anything and the change of pace and scenery would do him a world of good and give him perspective. i mean he needs it. when ur in ur 20s, not poor, not enslaved or trafficked and think the only thing u can do for money is porn.....u need it.
i see people commenting " whats with all the unnecessary rape" and if tgat wasnt so bizarre itd be hilarious. when is rape EVER necessary? but it happens unfortunately everyday and everywhere. honestly this is waaaaay tamer than a lot of manhwa with rape themes (e.g project utopia, now that i couldnt stomach for more than 10 chapters).
this is a case of fiction imitating real life, and real life is hella messy. if your triggered by it, you honestly should have stopped reading a long time ago. if you cant stand to read about characters you adore going through and overcoming harsh, sadly realistic trials that are like it or not, part of their heros journey, then you REALLY should have stopped reading this a while ago.
In my eyes it’s the demon hi put the curse on Rix
Uh I know you didnt just compare real life rape/sexual assault to bl scenario (which is mainly gay fetishization targeted women but thats another issue for another day). I know you mean well but justifying it by saying "rape happen everywhere everytime" bla bla to a setting in a bl fiction of all things is an insult to the assault/rape victims/survivors.
And just bc 95% of manhwa consist of rape to keep the plot going didnt mean we have to normalize that.
To me the issue with the rape scenes is like its the only thing the author can do to keep the plot moving despite so many potential for the story.
They help a boy- ok what next- they fuck- oh rape scene- lowkey fluffy scenes- bla bla- fuck scene again- here another rape. Its almost a pattern now and I get that some people are frustrated but Im in no way agree with attacking the author or uploader esp cause we all read this here for free so behave yourself
Uh sorry about the 2nd reply I mean to post that on separate comment and I cant delete
not justifying anything. im saying life influenfes art. i can undesrtand wanting trigger warnings before stuff like this, but dictating to people what content to create and put out there is ridiculous, considering the fact that its not forced in your face and your grown enough (lord willing) to not consume content that doesnt sit right with you.
on the point of normalizing sexual assault....are you serious. there are comics, books and shows out there that have the mc getting gang raped and the mc somehow gets stock holmed enough that he/she believes its ok, they deserve it and defend their predators. and this is the one you go off on? the one where MC isnt succumbing or seeing the evil of others as a gray aree even with a curse that litterally has his body betray him?
you clearly have some issues with people touching on this kind of content, so for your sake, dont upset yourself anymore by reading this and check reviews out before you choose to read any others
technically not yet. but it almost happened once
say what? (￣∇￣") technically this story started with Rix being raped over and over again by the demon who cursed him ....
technically no. the demon was never in the same place as him. its like.....virtual reality rape. thats why i said technically. or did i read it wrong, and the demon actually physically manifests where rix is?
lol ok XD in my understanding demons are able to appear and disappear at will (in a physical body) did not occur to me they would send a holograph. so we have virtual rape - that still does count as rape does it not? I mean the victim is traumatized just the same
anyway I had a good laugh, thanks ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
lol i guess i was making it too real. cuz i was thinking if i were in that situation and wasnt royalty, i cudnt get a rape kit done cuz thered be no physical evidence of it, no one could catch him in the act since he's not physically there....and based off of Rix's last near event, i'd just look like an excessively needy horn dog willing to go along with anything. theres just.....its too bleak man.
Tf why are you so pressed for lmao. Listen I disagree with your pov cause its like youre downplaying real life issue with real life survivors for fckin manhwa bl. I didnt even bash the author tf are you on. I didnt even go off on this story like the way you did. My problem is you suddenly brought up real life issue for this. You couldve said "if its not your thing just move on" but no you just have to COMPARE real life issue to a story with purpose of gay fetishization. And like why are you mad that people are uncomfortable with the amount of rape here. I disagree with bashing the author but just bc its normal for you didnt mean ppl have to feel the same. And the way I see it a lot of people here just want to express their opinion arent people allowed to do that anymore ? Fckn weirdo
lol look at the stressed thing saying im pressed and a weirdo. u r an odd thing. go in peace
Nah you just dont have anything left to say huh. Sure just cont to compare real life issue to a bl manwha with fetishization purpose and lighten the weight of the real life issue ig *shrug
