The math ain’t mathing

When she first went to the army, she was 13.
When she first met the ML, she was 21
Meanwhile, ML was 14
She “died” at 24
He was 17
5 years later, she’s adopted by her own family
She’s physically 12 when she meets the emperor
Emperor should then be 22
So that’s an age gap of 10 years
Now that she’s 16, he should be 26
Out of nowhere, her father and brother talked about how it’s actually 8 years of difference they got, so the emperor would be 24 instead.

It would’ve been a better story if when she got poisoned and he healed her, she suddenly grew back to how old she was supposed to be. The age gap would’ve been more acceptable and their love story, more palatable. Because while we know she’s older than him, no one close to them know this and he just looks like a creep who has a crush on a 12 year old when he was 24.

    No.
    17 years old + 5 years time jump= 22 years old
    Age gap=10 years, since she’s 12 when they meet again
    So if she’s 16 now, he should be 26.
