The emperor marries three different ladies to unite his bigass conquerored land and while he holds no feelings for them and loves Pauliana, he still has to fulfill his role as a ruler and has kids with some/one? of them. Pauliana reciprocates his feelings but as his knight cannot act upon them so after a drunken night with the emperor, finds out shes pregnant and flees. She also didn't want to be with him because of the whole sucession stuff and she worked her ass off to get where she was so didn't want to lose that either. Anyway, from my understanding the emperor and her do eventually end up together after he changes the law for her. Basically a lot of readers are bummed that Pauliana struggles b/c of her gender and status and they feel that she was snubbed bc the emperor had other wives which is realistic but def not romantic- fairry tale esque.
Reading all the spoilers through the comments makes me wanna drop this story. I really like this story soo much!! This is one of my favs becuz of how Op the FL is and how funny the characters are asthe story goes. But its kinda sad to think that the ending or the progress of the story will somehow go downhill according to the novel. I hope they will take this webtoon to another route and not follow the og novel. Ive even re read it again cuz the ups were slow i had to drop it for awhile. I hope me reading this will not go to waste. Like dude! The characters are so good, FL is op and cool and ML is cute and humurous. Where else could we find a webtoon like this. I hope this manhua will have justice and ends beautifully unlike in the novel.
