Its the cheating whore FL's sister who made her sister cover for HER mistake at the expense of her sister's life and relationship ruined.
And yet we are expected to believe she is a "kind" person?
And the ML's cowardly brother who knew his wife was a lying cheat that
made her own sister cover and take the blame for her infidelity but said and did nothing.instead he let the ML believe he was the one cheated on.
I think he did this to protect his own ego rather than "protect" anyone
He didn't want to admit that he was the one with the cheating whore for a partner.
The ML's angst was 100% justified against those two cunts.

That may be so, but he still CHOSE to rape her. He was NOT forced into it. The selfish sister didn't hold a gun to his head and say "Since you think my sister cheated on you, you should rape her." That was his OWN action and it was WRONG. There is NEVER a valid reason to rape someone. Period. Dot. END OF STORY.

So by that logic, it comes off as though you are implying that had she actually cheated on him that he would have been justified in raping her (which I hope you aren't). Please understand, I am NOT defending the sister and brother in law. Far from it. They deserve to rot in hell. But I am saying that the ex-husband should NOT be getting a pass on the rape because the sister and brother in law let him THINK his wife cheated on him. Whatever sympathy I could have had for the ML, flew out the window the moment he decided it was okay to rape his wife because he thought she cheated and he was angry. That is NOT OKAY. And it is DEFINITELY NOT romantic.

The ML is an arrogant rich shitbag that will sleep with the FL instantly yet still judge her for it. And believe the word of an NPC sleezebag so easily. The FL is as per usual a weak naive foolish pushover that will forgive the ML so long as he provides some lame excuse I.e "past betrayal" blah blah
In the novel the emperor actually says...
She's become "almost" a royal.
Which is a backhanded compliment in my opinion.
So I don't know if there has been a mix up with the translation.
This is part of Blondina's rejection ritual from her "father" he doesn't consider on the same level as his "noble" children with the empress. At this point, she is still a "lesser" royal due to her lineage. fuck him.
It's why her siblings don't treat her with respect. They know their father sees her beneath them even if he doesn't say it outright.
