FRFR, ive read too many BLs to fall for this "green flag." All I know is that Raonhiljo is dancing between the fine line of love/affection to one of obsession/lust.
I think they have to make the second lead crazy and "worse" so it's okay if, i mean, when the ml ends up with the from the start toxic red flagged main love interest , it's always like this
I don't think anything beats burning someone's entire village to the ground, killing their mother in the process, repeatedly raping and abusing the person, and continuously threatening their lives at every given meet. The emperor has done just about anything to make him look like the most vile character out there. There is no excuse for his callous actions
There's no possible way the Raonhiljo could be portrayed as "worse" than the emperor(whatever the duck his name is) unless he actually goes as far as to kill the Uke.
i can see a red light flickering.....
