No, I'm not feeling the bs they're on. Maybe I'd be for it if they ever showed the Emperor being genuinely in love with the Empress- and like fr him trying to defend her and worry, but it's been bare bones nothing for 80% of the story, so their reconciliation feels like a last minute "nvm, happy end for them ig". Especially after the Empress clearly voiced wanting to move on. They don't even show them warming up to each other again, just the Empress being touched that he defended her for once and said sorry.
Fr reminds me of my bestie who crawls back to her toxic ex every time he shows up at the front door with flowers.
