Thanks for pointing out that you didn't read the novel yourself but are just repeating spoilers you read somewhere else. It's happened to me before that I've come across people sharing 2nd-hand spoilers that are fake/wrong. Not saying yours are fake. Just saying that I appreciate the transparency
Thanks! I especially felt the need to clarify that I haven't read the novel was coz I sought out spoilers mostly to check how angsty the story would be(i have a low angst tolerance) and I didn't do a complete deep dive into the spoilers. So there's probably a lot of info which is missing or misconstrued and that they should take my info with a grain of salt. Maybe I shouldn't be posting spoilers but as a person who's obsessed with reading spoilers,I was surprised with the lack of novel readers commenting spoilers. That's why I posted this so spoiler fiends like me can get their fix and also hoping that some novel readers might engage with my comment with more info or even corrections coz I think it's really interesting that the manhwa has pivoted so much from the source material.
Yaaa. I appreciate you posting
I haven't read the novel but I've read spoilers. In the novel,it was actually a god that raped the empress.I think it was an evil god who i guess wanted to rule over humans and so when the empress visited a temple, he decided to make her bear his child since she's the ruler of the humans. It was really messed up since there were other people who were at the temple with the empress but were in awe/fear of seeing a god that they just watched as the god forced himself on the her. That's the reason for ludwig's power in the novel since he's essentially a demigod and it's also the reason why the empress didn't care for ludwig in the novel. So eventhough being victims of the entity wanting to possess their bodies is really sad,atleast it's much better than what happened in the novel(atleast for the empress). Since they've changed the expresses backstory,I really hope she gets a happy ending( i don't really know what happened to her in the novel).
