Empress ludovica (previous) is the first love of the late marquess and the greatest love of the emperor (who still haven't moved on). Her death causes the emperor to neglect the prince, because he subtle thinks he's the cause (due to childbirth). The prince just badly wants some parental love and the cardinal geez he's a lolicon (greatly obsessed with shuli). Nora is the endgame they have a very sweet relationship and his endearment to her is "noona" and yes jeremy was the 2nd lead but he knew right away that he must concede for the sake of shuli's safety. Try searching at the novelupdates for more spoilers.

The biggest shock for me was the pedophile obsession of the cardinal for Shuli, disgusting.
And probably the fact that Ludovica has got everyone around her finger cs she the first love of everyone or what (just like shuli i guess)
Ok, so the question arises how beautiful were those two as to get everyone's attention? (hard to decide in manhwa standards everyone's just gorgeous)
SPOILER ME ABOUT PREVIOUS EMPRESS AND NOVEL ENDING PLEASEEEE
