7 years? That's a lot, and marriage?
The marriage was just a lie made by his father to get ML to come to the palace.
ML is not the type to 1 step back 2 step forward like his father.
So even though the emperor summoned ML, ML still doesn't want to come.
Father don't want to aggravate the emperor, so he sent that letter lying about Robel getting married to get ML to come back to the capital.
It's really weird that she sees most guys as if they have stone heads? As her friend, I also thought she needed a doctor asap, but somehow the other girls said it's normal? It's a little funny, but I don't really get the jokes. It's weird to think ppl only care about the looks, even tho this is ok to a degree... but ppl have way more than the looks and the mc and male lead (blondie) don't seem to get it. I'm sure they'll learn throughout the story tho.
You can see it on how most manhwa emphasizes on how beautiful or ugly a character is like that's literally the plot. True beauty is a perfect example, lookism on it's earlier chapters. If you read ORV the mc always being called a squid the most common comparison they(koreans) have literally in every manhwa I've read. Basically appearance really have bigger impact than anything
I agree with this so much but one thing that i don't get it is that sometimes they emphasize that the character is ugly but they're just canonically ugly,i'll take your example and say orv's mc (kim dokja) he's portrayed as a normal designed character but one of his nicknames is literally 'ugly king' .







He didn't e eb en realize he's kissing Chan...
Chan in the next chapter: "let's pretend the paper is on my lips and suck"
