The Abandoned Empress

Complete | Ina, yuna | 2000 released

-Another strong female lead spotted! -I kinda get why some of yall hated it especially the ending. At first, I really thought it would be the same experience since the male lead was straight-up toxic but after giving it a try, I really do think the Emperor was a good choice. Allen is obsessive and Carsien was...well...a good guy but I think he's more of the female lead's best friend. Yep, the male lead hates the female lead at first because of the past, but after the female lead has become a queen, the male lead's behavior was influenced by 1) his infatuation with jieun and 2) the poison so, I gave him a chance. And I think it did kind of pay off. I mean, by the later part, the Emperor was so whipped for Tia that he didn't even fell in love with Jieun the second time they met. Imagine if they just talked to each other during the past, Tia wouldn't even have to be brought back in time. So yeah. -I almost hated Jieun without knowing the reason. Turns out I was right. It was all infatuation. -UGHHHH IF WE ONLY SAW THE BABIES!
