Yeah you ain't watching her because you two are gonna be doing something else behind the scenes, am i right?

Naah I think it's probably about Yeon-hwa's copycat, and Insoo is going to watch from behind to find out who it is since they talked about the issue last night when they were drunk. In the previous chapter, Yeon-hwa had already guessed and suspected something when the items were stolen and the copycat wore them similarly

Idk what the author was thinking either when they wrote this. No no, don't get me wrong, it's a decent plot but idk about the baiting part or am I just misinterpreting it? The relationship between the empress and the maid was really highlighted since the first chapter and it just keep shocking me everytime that I remember that this isn't gl

The scenes between girls just "admiring" one another and for example the fluffier scenes between the prince and Peresa are set up with the same radiant sparkles and flowers.
It's 200% bait, no way around it, no excuses.
Feel no shame for we all were baited. Join my conspiracy theory: Whoever wrote this is hiding in the deepst, dankest, darkest closet known to man.

It's a story that follows parhesa, whose life's mission is the empress. parhesa is the protagonist so we see the world through her eyes. The empress is the most important thing in her life. Love is a secondary interest for her. So we don't see the romantic partner as much. This story is about parhesa and the empress with a hint of romance. Kind of like how Harry Potter has romance in it but is not a romantic saga(?
That was a glimpse of a black hair, no?
