Maybe Shuli's birth mom??? Maybe thats why Shuli's mom doesn't really love her. Cuz she is not her kid.
wait, that'll make her and the prince (who's kinda obsessed with her) biologically siblings.....
And i thought it couldn't get worse...
No actually I just read a spoiler saying shuli is the first empress she died giving birth to the prince and Johannes married her because he was In love with the previous empress lodvica idk for sure but the creep priest also used to be in love with her to but I'm not sure so we'll just have to keep reading
I wish they make Shuli and that misterious girl just relatives or look alikes. Don't pull some reincarnation bullshit pls.
