Garbage story. Irritating characters. My dislike for the female mc doesn’t stem from her anger about her forced marriage to ml which is very justified it’s how she expresses herself and especially how she views commoners. Before he even deigned to ask for her hand in marriage from the emporer she had already concluded that he was a no good undeserving bottom barrel animal that apparently became a war hero through luck of the draw…like wtaf… and basically being the reason the empire isn’t at war and she can sit on her throne and gloat about her supposed purity of character and spirit like pls get over urself and that somehow her lover at the time who was very clearly cheating on her while she delusionally convinced herself otherwise is somehow better than him on the merit that he was born noble like that in itself isn’t wats really based on luck. To add to my irritation with This character is the abuse of the ml, in as much as her anger is justified her being comfortable enough to not only put her hands on him in a public setting and privately as her default setting wen she deigns to interact with him further highlights how she viewed and fully believes that the ml is garbage beneath her feet and deserved to be treated like trash coz u can bet ur ass if she had married the count there’s no lvl of anger she would have for him that would make her put her hands on him. Her concluding that ml saw her as his property without them having a single instance of communication was both valid and extremely ridiculous lemme not get into the rest of the nonsense she thought of in that scene. She’s boring and a bigot and that’s y I hate her. Now for the ml, very clear he has no self respect for himself and that’s irritating to watch as a reader. the coerced/forced sexual interaction was not it at all. It really took me out of any interest I had in the smut and that was already on a thin line as I couldn’t stand fmc
