Yes, she ran away because she was terrified but clearly throughout the story we see the emperor change and try to redeemed himself for the sake of the FL and his children. However, neither are erasing the evil he has done.
As for the rebels: I guess the moral of the story for them is, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Their motive for revenge was very valid but both became so hungry for revenge that they also sacrifice so many others. They very much so got blinded in revenge.
Overall, the story wasn't the worst but I will admit it was very two deminsional. I didn't have any attachment to any of characters (minus the children).

I hope in the upcoming chapters, the author allows Moa to redeemed herself. I want her to leave them brothers alone and work on herself and like she said be more dependent. At the same time, I hope the brothers work on themselves as well and soar in their perspective fields. If time passes, and she gets with ONE of them so be it. But the back and forth for "smut" purposes was a littleee bit much and repetitive. I think that's why alot of people (myself included) was a bit annoyed. Like you guys say you're remorseful but keep doing it lol.

Okay this is my opinion. You don't gotta like it but don't attack me too much lol. There's alot of truth and untruths in people's arguments in the comments.
Realistically, I don't want Taekung and Hee-seo to be together. Too much trauma. Too much distrust. Too much mental instability. It's only been toxic and a mess. However, knowing how most stories go...I'm just not gonna keep my hopes up. I actually would be more surprised if they both suffered the consequences of their actions. Like Hee-seo being jailed and Taekung either being on suspension/relocated (at the end of the day he took an oath and knows of a crime. Because he's was guilt trip I said suspended rather than no longer being able to be a prosecutor).
If indicated like in the beginning of the prolouge, I'm ready for Ishakan to "kidnap" the FL away from this treacherous family. The mom and the brother especially are creeps. The sick and perverted man she's supposed to wed to is a creep. I can't wait til she realizes she doesn't have to die to seek revenge.
