This is how it was back then, concubines were never a rare thing in the emperors days, like we hear stories about emperors that adored their empresses but they still had concubines, they were more like an entertainment than actual women he's cheating with, the empresses were never jealous of them ! So don't think of it as cheating because this is just how it is
Ngl I always hated the Harem concept but in this story, I REALLY don’t know wtf happens to the few concubines he had (think there were like four minus the Mc) because looking at the raws, after a dramatic moment including two of them (omg drama ) , they never show up again and basically disappeared lmao they also don’t have any children with the emperor from my knowledge either so maybe he got rid of them after the one event where they caused trouble? I could be wrong but if he got rid of them and only stayed with the Mc that’d make he hella happy ^^
In the terms of this story concubines aren't in a romantic relationship with him. It's just a tittle of power practically, one key thing to always remember in harems like this is sexual attraction =/= romantic attraction
Tru but it still hurts in a more modern standpoint ┗( T﹏T )┛
Yeah but even in a modern stand point it doesn't matter since it's just a title, and there is not romance between them outside of the sheets ┑(￣~ ￣)┍
I think what they’re trying to say is that it still feels wrong because sexual intercourse and any sexual act in general is very intimate, it’s something you’d normally only do with the person you have a romantic relationship ship or attraction to since you trust them most. Because of this it still feels like cheating regardless of if it’s only a sexual relationship or a title alone, that’s why so many people find it wrong.
Ye that’s wat I meant thanks for clarifying ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
