anyway, im just ranting but i, too, am still and continue to be upset at Ga-in's decisions w revealing the news about the baby :( i understand his concern about being abandoned but hyeonoh did so much to prove his love, and it was unfair for Ga-in to not trust that from the beginning. Like hyeonoh's thoughts, he just wanted to share Ga-in's worries and anxiousness too, and I had hoped hyeonoh would actually say that to Ga-in and they both make up and communicate what it was exactly they were both worried about, but they don't. it's fine tho ig since they're both still very much head-over-heels in love with each other.
and this is why a couple chapters ago, I did not care for the emperor's sudden change of attitude towards ettiene. Like, he was surprised ettiene was wary of his behavior and didn't believe he was starting to kind of "care"? No shit sherlock, you've been neglecting him ever since, and turning a blind eye to the empress's abuse towards him. I would never ever forgive the Emperor, no matter what he does or says. Fucking asshole.










chapters like these makes me realize i could never date someone like Dowon i would actually die of literal embarrassment and it'd continue off to my next life
glad this was said
