I see many people saying the emporer forgiving the mistress chick because he’s madly in love but throughout that whole transaction I didn’t really feel that his mad infactuation was what made him lenient
There’s obvi backstory that we don’t know yet but it’s clear that he has been dependent on red head for a while, and maybe seeing her killed and loseing whatever he got from her (love?comfort?) all at once is too much. He gonna need to get over it himself or find someone else who’ll love him (wink wonk)

Ik it’s a cliche but I was hoping for the whole “heartfelt moment cuz he was drunk/sick” tho it did kinda happen it was all one-sided, i wanted him to comfort him or nurse him. I want Nakyum to do something, like anything. Ik it’s cuz there’s the large power/status difference and the time setting but lately all Nakyum does is get flustered, runs away or gets fucked.
Godamn Chowon why u gotta be so pretty...
I’m just gonna purposely forget all his previous bitchyness and assholery (he was pretty bad....) and enjoy the fluff. Unless of course the author addresses which would honestly be the best way to redemption instead of just ignoring it.
