most people don't hate him they just think the female lead deserves better
Ehm.. his actions have hurt someone.. FL.
His ignorance of his "girlfriends" personality and the suport he has given her even after he learned she almost caused a politial war. And the fact that he knows his Gf tried to kill FL and himself yet alowed them to sweep it all under the rug by bringing forth a falce scapegoat is also hurting FL. Thanks to his actions FL's reputation among the nobels she rules over is ruined and his GF is making way to become queen. ALso do not forget he married FL under the thought that him and his GF could kill her off at any time... Isnt that also hurting FL?
Now take into acound all the ppl whom his GF has injure, harmed politicaly or all the servants she has gotten rid off over the years. Do they not count? And yet i count him as responcible for all of this because he is The Emperor so unless he alowed it, his Gf wouldnt have been able to do all of that!
Yes he is broken, but that only justfiec so much..
So what if he is learning or opening up to FL, the only reason he is doing that is because his GF gave him the cold shoulder and FL was there to be his stand in MAMA.
He is broken beyond repair and should under no sercumstances be Emperor.

Actually I disagree with what you say. He an alright emperor. Act least he better then the emperors in “Remarried Empress” and “The abandoned Empress”.
Also he wouldn’t be able to do anything to the mistress even if he wanted to without concrete evidence. If he doesn’t have any significant evidence then he can’t punish the Mistress. As you can see they tried to behead the mistress and punish her for the crime of almost killing the emperor and empress. But the duke save her. The mistress is playing her cards well and she getting strong allies on her side.
I understand why the emperor is the way he is especially when it involves the mistress sure it may make him seem like a weak and shitty guy but i pity him and understand why he did what he did I don’t agree with his actions but it’s understandable.
as someone whos read the novel, i love this insight.

Oh hes and alright Emperor but you a bringing up sympathy for his childhood witch has left him broken.
Also he hates his father because of his childhood but wants to be nothing like his father.
His father was a great Emperor who married a infertile woman who was Empress in name only and had no say in anything els and had a mistress on the side whom he favord over his wife, he would prance the mistress around pouplickly and lave the Empress at home unless needed. See anything fermiliar there? Despite hating his father for his childhood he is cooppying his fathers action to a T.... and yet you are saying to have sympathy when he is coppying everything that made him broken despite having everything neede to not do so.
Also the Emperor in Remarried Empress is better than this Emperor and thats saying alot.
The reasons the Emperor in Remarried Empress is better is:
1. The Empresses honor reflects on the Emperors honor so he dosnt alow her to be pouplickly humiliated and sides with the Empress over the mistress in pouplic!
2. The Empress has a say and can influenece and halt the Emperors actions.
3. The Empresses words are taken into acount and are to be followed, servants cant ingnor her and are punished if they do.
4. The Emperor made sure that nobels playing fawors know the Empress is above the mistress.
He may lack at his job but his wife makes up for the slack, where as this storys Emperor his only keeping FL as Empress in name only. He didnt expect her to do any duties and only married her because him and his mistress could kill her off when they saw fit!
ive said so much shit about this man but now that we have been presented by the facts, lets not act like he was out of pocket. yall don’t need to love, or even like him, but yall do need to realize him being easily swayed by dollar tree Nilla is because she has been his single confidant for years. homie was traumatized his whole damn life and found respite and safety with another trauma victim, its reasonable for him to act the way he does with her. they had no body but each other and bonded because they were both traumatized, its obvious he would give her endless passes and side with her, but as we have all seen he never lets his bias towards her cloud his judgement and he was always fair. even now its so indicative that his feelings are changing and hes seeing her in a new light. hes also kind to Patrizia and hes not letting things slide anymore because rose's behavior had begun to hurt other people.
and yall being mad bc he has a wife and mistress ?? like rose was there first (not that I like her ass but I get it from his end) and he was pressured into a political marriage its not like he asked for a wife or that he was trying to pit women against each other. he was also super upfront about how the nature of their relationship would be and its not like he ever lead on Patrizia or made it seem like he was two-timing scum.
this is coming from someone who has called this man sumn along the lines of a "quarter inch bitch boy", so this is really sayin sumn and he really has grown as a character so its not fair to continuously vilify him for his actions, which don’t hurt anyone (in this timeline at least) and make a whole lot of sense.
