i hate the way they hyperfeminize jooin and they reduce his character into a bland, dependent person with no personality like those little mary sue in a cliche drama just to make yahwi, an absolute asshole shine. i know i have no right saying this as i am only an illegal reader but its just disappointing and distorts actual representation of mlm relationships :(

Aaaand them that's why we have omegaverse or pregman :D
Seriously, there are so many messed up things about how women have to use a male charachter to portray the kind of intensity in sex and emotions that is politically incorrect to use in a truly female character. But at the end of the day, it looks like both guys and girls want to see the female counterpart as weak and fragile. Fck them all.

if someone read the novel did the prince find out about what happened to elena in the past?? PLS SPOIL ME ALSO IS THE REVENGE SATISFYING IM TOO IMPATIENT DBXJXBXB

You should read the novel of you want details... But, to keep it short (spoils):
.

Sian (Crown Prince), Ren, and Hurelbard work together to kill the Grand Duke. (They all attack him.) and he dies:
“Sian's sword penetrated Grand Duke Friedrich's left chest as it was. Ren's sword, which caught the back of the Grand Duke who had never given up, drew a trajectory and cut his back diagonally. Hurelbard, who was aiming for a gap, drew the blood vessels of his neck.
"F-father!"
At the same time as Veronica's one-word cry, a fountain of blood rose from Grand Duke Friedrich's body. Grand Duke Friedrich stumbled by grabbing his neck. He struggled to stop the blood vessels flowing between his palms.”
Veronica is executed. Elena and Sian sit side by side to watch her execution. Ren didn’t watch her execution because he said he didn’t want to see the death of a crazy bitch:
Veronica flicked her head, which had been bowing down, screaming at her deathbed. Madness was seen in the eyes between the long hair that had been untied. The imperialists who met their eyes shrugged their shoulders without even knowing. What kind of eyes are so bloody in the midst of dying? Veronica, brought by the Imperial Guardsman, was taken to the execution.
"Kneel."
When Veronica rebelled with a deadly stare, the Imperial Guard hit the back of her knee and forced her to kneel.
"Let go! Let go!"
When Veronica, who regained her old evil, struggled, the Imperial Guard pressed her shoulder to force her. In the end, the only last attack she can do is to open her eyes and curse Elena on that podium.
"L, this bitch to chew and kill! This is all because of you. How dare you bring something that you don't even know the fundamentals of!"
Despite the distance, Veronica's words were clearly heard in Elena's ears. Veronica cursed with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't think this is the end. I'm gonna kill you. I'm going to go and chew every night. If you die, I'll drag you to hell and throw you into a pit of fire."
Elena looked down at Veronica with no expression on her face, and showed no reply or response. Sian, who couldn't watch, kicked up his chair and shouted sternly.
"Count Lyndon to take the guilt of the sinner."
Count Lyndon, who received Sian's nomination, came to the front of the podium and unfolded a scroll.
"Participation in the rebellion is one sin, participating in the assassination of the emperor is two sins, damaging the body of the emperor, apology of the aristocracy, attempting murder of a nobleman... Six other additional charges are charged with the crime. I order the execution according to Imperial law."
Veronica's fall from Count Lyndon had reached eleven counts. They were all felonies of poor quality and unforgivable, starting with treason, which is a great sin.
"Execute."
Upon Sian's order, a member of the Imperial Guard took Veronica and fixed her on the execution table. The shimmering blade hanging high shone creepily in the sunlight.
"Let go. Untie this! I'll remember you all. I'm going to be a demon and kill you all!"
That's all Veronica had to do. A member of the Imperial Guard hit a rope that supported the blade on the ceiling of the execution platform.
Teuk. The blade that came down faster than lightning cut Veronica's neck. Her head rolled under the execution table. Veronica's face was miserable because she couldn't accept death until the last minute.

GOSH i cant explain how much i love how well-written this story is. the flow of the plot is good and not all over the place !! especially the complexity of medea's character. most of the time i don't even understand what she's saying but i know it's something satisfying and clever. truly the best female mc out there !!

TWO SHINS!?!?!?!??!?!

They are the same person XD
It's just a resemblance of shin's smart yet awful and stragestic boi that's gonna probably sacrifice shin's love (and health) for his majesty just to make him a great king like he promised :")
It's like you looking at the left and the right Brain talking!~
Hope this makes sense
And if ya look at the last page, the reflection on the water shows nothing. so, it means it's shin's imagination or his inner thoughts.
heesu the entire chapter:
