This started like a good story about a cool female MC but from the raws, it's going to get...

Lmao I feel bad for u especially since I know the spoils to Emperor and the female knight ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Omg don't tell me that one is also going to get a messed up pace and the MC and ML are going to develop an unhealthy relationship...nooooooo

Well personally I didn’t like the way ending sound or how it happened lol, but if u end up not liking it, u can fall back on either SPECIAL A, DENGEKI DAISY, NAMAIKIZAKARI, yona of the dawn, Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori, Fly High, Love Sick, Hana ni Arashi (TAKAGI Shigeyoshi), Blood Alone, Otoyomegatari, (out of subject but golden kamuy is really good And funny manga)

dear akera, hate to tell you but the spoiler of the Emperor and the female knight will just make you stop reading it which happened to me. Do you want to know why? haha

Yes please spoil it for me. This is basically the only good manga with a female MC I'm reading right now (in the past I read "light and shadow" and loved it from beginning to end) so if it's going to end badly I need to know so I can lower my expectations

Well if you insist but i am warning you it's better to stop than make your little heart get hurt from what's gonna happen


Lucius does marry 3 women but it's for political purposes. Tbh I feel kinda bad for him. As a monarch he would have only a few close friends, it wasnt really a decision of his more of an expectation to retain his power. He would have to put his country before himself (AKA his empire's wellbeing before his feeling) If I were in that position I would feel suffocated. He needs the political alliances to consolidate powers in the three regions of his empire. Some of yall may be upset that Polly wasnt confessed to before he decided to marry other women but she would've been bound by her oath as his knight. In order to strengthen his position he also needs an heir. One of the wives died in childbirth (gave birth to a princess), the other was imprisoned (she was a traitor so she was killed), and another asked for a divorce. None of them recieved Luxors affection.
My opinion:
Likes:I really enjoyed the novel. The female lead was very capable and the male lead felt very 'fresh' idk how to put it in words. Really showed the prejudice woman face in the workplace. Good character development and pace. Polly gets a whole ass country as a gift from the emperor
What I dislike: She eventually marries Luxor. I felt that it would've been better if they didnt marry as shes worked so hard to prove herself and fight off the prejudice of being a woman. I feel that she'll be remembered Luxors wife rather than for her hard earned achievements.
Dont focus too much on the 3 wives plot, people in the comments are spinning it out of proportion without even reading the novel. Emperor makes a new law especially for Polly.

this is one of the few comments i've read and i therefore hate it

Honestly, I understand the rage about the 3 wives thing because it wasn't explicitly said that polygamy is normal. Sure, historically, that is completely normal but I've read too many webtoons where it's not the case. The author could've inserted something to indicate this in the story like the female lead's father having multiple wives or something so we'd be aware of the fact and drop the story if it doesn't fit our preference.
In my case, I would've still read it hoping that it won't apply to the main male lead and then dropped it when it got to the 3 wives part.

Can I please ask you something:
1- Did he approach her and get into a relationship with her before he married the 3 wives?
2- Is she in love with him at that point and are there multiple angsty scenes?
3- Does she continue to be a knight after that? Do the wives torment her ?
4- After marrying her, is she the only wife that he ever takes ?

Sorry for the multiple questions but this'll determine whether I continue to read this or drop it. I hate the 3 wives thing but I might tolerate it if she is indifferent about it, doesn't love him and continues to be a perfect knight and their relationship only deelops after all of the wives are gone and she is the only one he ends up with.

its okay i know how you feel though i kept coming back to read the spoilers just for you hahahaha

( well he has 3 wives, he IMPREGNATES ONE, and impregnated pauliana. She runs away, and he locks up one wife divorces the other and the other dies during birth. I'm not into polygamy. And it ends like shit, with pauliana and the emperor being alone like how it started. What a pointless outcome to such a good  comic. Pqulina gets engaged. Her fiance wanted her for her money. She gets heartbroken and drinks and the emperor and her confess. She gets pregnant and runs away. And he let's her because he doesnt want to hurt her anymore and thinks she doesnt like him. Then he finds out brings her back. She becomes a concubine?? And his other concubine son becomes crown prince. I don't mind the three marriages but he shouldnt have had a child with another woman no matter what if he loved her and she shouldnt have returned to be a woman. She fought for him and worked harder she should've had a higher status at the very least. He also shouldnt have just let her go, he is supposedly this great emperor and master tactiction but cant handle a simple conversation. The ending completely shits all over Paulina's struggles and glorifies the dude as if all her worth was just a marriage.

if you want another story like this then i truly recommend The Duke's servant, it gives the pleasure, fluffy feeling we want and no HEARTBREAKING like Emperor and the female knight though its still ongoing so i'm not sure in the future

Thank you very much for the thorough explanation. I need to take this off of my lists so I no longer receive any notifications for it. That ending is absolute garbage and I regret reading it and getting so invested in it

I know that one. It's in my lists as well. There are 26 chapters and I remember reading 25 of them and then deciding to stop and only come back after it's completed because it gave me a bad premonition of future angst and I can't handle cliffhangers with romance involved. I follow a bunch of shounen like One piece and black clover and I'm fine with whatever btu romance is a sore spot for me. But I think I'll come back to read " The Duke's servant" later

good to know we had the same taste in manga haha

Hey can you tell me the spoilers to duke's servant if you know it? Isn't the duke a playboy? He sleeps with multiple partners?

I approve of your taste (strokes fake beard )

I saw the raw of the manga but I'm not entirely sure about the story. I can't understand the language >< but one thing I understand the duke will save Lindsay and some of the drawing as to what I understand showed that the Duke kissed Lindsay and Lindsay is naked!

woah.....that freaking sucks........
