Yeah but it doesn't mean he wasn't in the wrong. He has a trauma, but killing his subjects for nothing is simply f**ked up. He should go to a doctor and not kill people just because he can. It doesn't excuse him. He had his reasons but really....he killed an entire family. In real life he would be in prison or mental hospital. He is really poor and I get it, but stil...

He didn't kill the entire family without reason the mistress framed them so obviously he's gonna punish them and at that time to storyline was different. You're biased because of what happened in the past if as you can see the FL has changed the storyline and is keeping her family alive. But like I said and will continue to say he has trauma and even in the past he trusted the mistress so to him her words was more than enough. She was the only one to show him love even if it was fake. If a villianess who has killed multiple people can be redeemed with a new soul why can't the emperor be redeemed? He isn't truly a bad guy
Some of y'all can't see the big fucking picture, not only was he abused by someone who he thought was his mother for 15 years straight but that same person made him murder his real mother! He goes through episodes on a specific day out of the year because of that. He was never truly loved! The woman he that loved him doesn't even love him for real and he knows that! So far all the women in his life have only used and abused him so of course he's gonna be the way that he is. The only woman that he seems to truly be opening up to is the FL, yes he was a dick but that is a defense mechanism. Even in the past if he couldn't see that woman didn't love him for real it might be due to the fact that not only does he have mommy issues but extreme trauma. You try going through what he did and not turn out the way he did. You can say that you won't but you are not in that situation. Your trauma can make or break you so for those of you saying "oh well that doesn't excuse what you did" literally it does! Was he ever properly healed from what he went through? Did anyone actually took the time to mend his mental wounds? He is only able to function as a emperor because he's holding in what's really going on, as a emperor you're not allowed to show weakness.
