Raws

I think he is just a descendant because Su Luxia didn't have a biological child in the first story that is why she adopted him.

Pretty sure he was son of another consort of the emperor. She wasnt fortunate to have children and when he died, she just adopted a motherless prince to raise. It's pretty common

Em... The son as in the Green haired adopted son... I know she didn't have children of her own... It's just that in ch 20 it said that after the empress dowader (our MC) died so did the emperor (aka her son). Which is why I question the current identity of the Green haired dude on this arc... Read the raws and you will understand it better.

Oh that, I think he might be a descendant of that emperor that died with the empress dowager, cause I don't like incest

Also in one scene it shows the current FL and her stupid step sister as young children who meet the Empress and her son so... How can the son still look so young after so many years? My guess is he could be the grandson/descentant? Anyways can't wait for the team to translate it! As for the incest It's technically not exactly an incest but I mean she did stay with him as his "mother" for some quite some time so yeah it would be weird to see her now as his lover (￣∇￣")

*half sister. From the raws I am pretty sure they share the father...

The current timeline is 6years after the death of the Empress Dowager. He is the same child she raised as the Empress. Plus in the new update it did say its a new self deduced story line. So its a new time line. Yes, they're half-siblings. Normal di-shu children fights. Half-sibling is jealous of everything of the di- child has. Wants her dead, so she can replace her to become the empress (she has a high-chance).

I did see the raws few days ago. They met the young emperor and the Empress (mc) in an outing when the girls were still young, I think, the half-sibling was amazed by her, she's beautiful. Especially in red. That's probably what lead her to this ambition to replace her sister. Also how held the red fabric, how she dressed in red and had make up similar to the Empress Dowager when she went to meet the Emperor, SHE wants to become Su Luxia.(this is just my guess anwyays). ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The emperor and the current Su Luxia are not blood related so no incest here. Also my guess is that the current emperor has a mother complex. He saw Su Luxia(empress) cry once when he was child and that probably struck him. They bonded a mother-son relationship and this is probably what led to his death in the first time line when he died few days after her.

i can't read it the language, I'm just reading their facial expressions and i must say, its 10/10. it keeps improving (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Actually I remember reading that in the first arc, the original host of the body SL took over had suffered an accident earlier while trying to save the emperor and because of that accident, she became unable to produce any children and so when Su Luxia takes over the body, she takes advantage of the emperor's promise that he will let her adopt any child she desires and so Su Luxia decided to adopt the little blue haired kid who was the son of another consort who had died for some reason. Because of that he was often bullied and not given proper food by the servants. But then after Su luxia adopts him she takes care of him and teaches and gets him ready to be the next emperor

In the first chapter of this current arc they scanlators said they made a mistake in the translation of cpt 20 when they said Su luxia's step son(the current emperor died). It said that soon after the death of Luxia he also died. In reality, he tried to commit suicide multiple times to follow her but was never successful. That's why he's still alive.

Yeah I remember this too

Ohh I see. Now it makes more sense... But then that means that she will now be his lover?It's a bit weird to think of them as an item (￣∇￣") Except if the author doesn't go that way(I haven't read all the raws yet).

I think they do go out. I haven't read the raws myself but considering the close relationship they had before I'm going to assume that he falls in love with her since she's so similar to his adoptive mother. Considering that he wanted to commit suicide when she died I think he held some strong feelings towards her and wouldn't mind marrying someone who was just like her. I think of Luxia as a spirit of some sorts and they're not related by blood so I'm not too weirded out. It doesn't seem like Luxia herself really falls in love with her capture targets either tbh.
