Same ! I mean Nora’s parents are really bad at parenting. His father is mad at everything he does and his mother just ignore it . I mean they literally believed his cousin over him ??? He was so young and he just learned that his parents don’t trust his words . They want him to be well behaved when they really don’t do just to help it . Like do you really believe that yelling at your child every time he breath will help him obey you more ?
Yes, I honestly can't believe how shitty they are. I just reread a few of the chapters between 30-36 and HOLY FUCK they suck ass. Also the empress is so shitty, she encourages the crown prince's shitty behavior.
God, children have brains too. You need to actually look at their actions and listen to their words, like you said, not just blindly make them obey you by treating them like shit.

Will Shuli have a partner in the future? I'm curious who's the ML because i can't picture her having one
