Well

I thought this was going darker with the newer chapters.

What I am taking away now is that the present is fixing the past lives?

So the emperor can be at Taeyhuk's side as just a real brother. He is not mentally ill, abused, and obsessed with one thing. He is part of a family.

Taeyhuk and Hyo-un meet when both are adults and no child raising. Taeyhuk also wasn't cockblocked. So he has had a sex life on his own terms- with women and no marriage. I ain't mad. I am happy for this and that he didn't have men.

I don't know for anyone else yet. I guess Taehyuk's dad at least isn't executed...
