But both are also dense and slow af. Also Minus more points for Winter bcs he refuses to talk.
BUT LET'S BE REAL ASH IS THE REAL ASS. IF HE DIDNT LIE HIS SISTER WOULDNT THINK THAT SHE IS A BURDEN AND WINTER WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK HIS ASS OFF TO GIVE HIS WIFE A LUXURIOUS LIFE (even though she didn't ask)
I understand that people hates Winter for the things he did, I did despise him for the first few chapters too, but again all his life he knows no more than how to earn money and how that money is the one thing that keeps him living. They both just wanna do the best for each other but many miscommunications arise because their background is different and they believed that they are different.
This is why I like reading stories. It makes me aware that not everyone grow up the same and not everyone have the same background. Everyone has pain but not every pain is the same. Since I'm aware of this, hopefully in real life I could avoid miscommunications with my future SO, or I could avoid doing accidental gaslight. These stories teaches me to put myself in the other person's shoe first before saying anything. I might not be perfect myself, but being aware is not gonna hurt anyone.

Which one is the crown prince again? Who are his side consorts and concubine again???
Also I thought the Emperor favored our ML then why would there be a crown prince????

I believe that they are talking about the first prince and his problem with fertility that Aheng helped treat, so they are giving her gifts because he can now have children. It is also possible that there was an error and the first prince became crown prince in translating, or he is just the crown prince for show when ML's legs healed and ML will be crowned later ors something.

I stop reading the novel because even though the story is cool and somewhat good but the pacing and fillers are too much it bored the hell out of me.
Mostly the repetitive villian: girl falls for prince, then gets mad at aheng, then plots to bring her down, then failed or people underestimate aheng, then they try to bring her down, then they failed. This has been going round and round throughout the story.
When I see another like the above mentioned villian I just skips until the part where they move on again or has a plot development.
The prince is sooooooooo embarrassing it pains me to read how he tries to bring down Chloe just because she doesn't like him. It's like those people who attempted to poison or kill another just because the other person won't accept their feelings lmaooo
