I kinda understand hwayoung bc gyuwon does look so adorable and sexy when he cries
Clicked on it for the cover bc i thought its gonna be a brownhaired, brownskinned female lead x silverhaired male lead
Yk they don’t like dark people fr
Seeing the age difference and him watching her grow up.... plus he knew she was 13 and a child...
anyways i know that historically it was normal back then.
Not looking for a fight abt it. just couldnt help the ick i felt bc of it
Art is really gorgeous tho.
What's their age difference?
Hi its been a long time since i read it. But if i remember correctly, she was 13 and he was 22 when they met (anyone pls feel free to correct me if im wrong!)
he was 15 and she was 13 when they met
five years later he is 20 and she's 18
ch6:
- he returned to palace when he was 15
- he got stabbed at 20 by sister
(?? i think this is a translation mistake, and it's supposed to be 15 yo as well)
- five years later he takes over the throne (so 20 yo, if previous was a translation mistake)
Wished the seme grovelled harder. The uke forgave him too quickly. I noticed how there was no seme pov of him reflecting and being remorseful in the reconcilation chapters.
The early chapters has the uke saying very sound points (like consent and how shitty the seme was for using his body for babymaking) that made me think it was gonna be good. But nahh he
The uke definitely has trauma from all that but it wasnt addressed. Thought theyre gonna address it bc they had panels of his flashbacks when the seme raped and drugged him.
i deadass wanted to see that man ON HIS KNEEESSSS begging and crying…

THE SCENE IS SO HAWT AND SENSUAL BUT SO FUNNY TOO THEYRE SO CUTE. ALSO FOR SOMEONE WITH NO PRIOR INTEREST IN WOMEN, ERIC IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABT FOREPLAY. LITERALLY FOREPLAY KING. a respectful and thoughtful foreplay king
ITS ALWAYS THE QUIET AND UNASSUMING ONES THAT ARE THE FREAKIEST (and yes its eric)
ONG U NEED THE SMUT VERSION
Probs bc of their red and black hair color... or how the black haired one looks so much like rukawa
The line art now is thinner and the colors a bit faded. I loved the old art style because the line art was thicker/stronger. It seems like the new art is a simplified version of the old one.
In some panels gyuwon doesnt look like gyuwon. And in some, hwayoung isnt as handsome as he was
most so-called dark romance novels/webtoons just put rape in the stories and physical abuse then call it dark romance. now THIS this is an actually crazy psycho ml who is also a compelling character.
