Phoenix's Favorite

Ok so hear me out on this one. Maybe the way ml turned out had a reason. In the earlier chapter we saw how the young ml got angry how his parents sold him in the name of marriage, but isn't this how it was normally done during that era but now we see that the emperor himself had a very loving relationship with the the empress. Maybe it was in the young ml's mind how he would also fall in love and have a similar relationship with his wife when he grows. It was 'normal' for him to think and hope for this because it was what he had seen with his own eyes. Further when he grew up he lost his loving parents who he had loved dearly and is burdened by the responsibilities of an emperor. Down the line he also had to marry a person he doesn't love nor feels any connection with because as he said it himself she was like doll, unmoving and without emotions and was only limiting his political power and was being used as a pawn by other nobles to limit the emperor. Also she was so perfect and never made mistakes it was bound to make the young emperor who was recently coronated and was still learning feel inferior and annoyed. We also see that he didn't see the empress as a person at all he just saw her as a doll unable to feel emotions and thus kept his distance because he felt she would'nt feel anything regardless of his actions like from his childhood he pointed even the smallest stuff just to spot some imperfection which was obv not the case. Even though I say all this stuff this still doesn't justify his actions as treating the empress as crap and non existent it was his own fault in a way that he was unable to see her abuse or her emotions and was unable to see her as living human. Also this explains a lot why the emperor didn't react at all when she died because in his eyes she was never a living person. That's it thankyou for coming to my ted talk
