Just finished reading the latest ch in another site (sorry scanlators but I can’t wait haha) but what even was the point? I feel like there’s really more into the characters than what we’ve been told. Hae soo don’t even give a shit about orange anymore so why is emo so keen on provoking orange? Also Emo could just manipulate hae soo (what he has been doing all this damn time) and ask her to move somewhere else with him. Go far away from orange and live their bestest life away from all this drama.
The provocation and making orange feel like shit just feels so weird unless they have generational beef (past life theory).
Mincheol’s face was so satisfying tho hahah
does anyone else have thoughts?

I think the emo guy just pretends he wants Haesoo to "decide" and "think" for herself, but in reality, he's subtly manipulating her into choosing what he wants. He’s just influencing her decisions while making it seem like they're her own.
And also I think he’s tormenting the orange guy as revenge for Haesoo lol
Kinda twisted but dont we all love that hahaha

Yeah he’s a manipulator but what I don’t get is why is he tormenting Orange? The revenge isn’t for him to take, that’s NHS’s (na hae soo) call if she wants to destroy this guy or just disappear and move on. PLUS I think we’re forgetting something here… Emo isn’t anything to NHS at all!!! They’re not in a relationship and definelty not married so what really is driving emo to target orange?

I mean, all of his actions are that of a manipulator , everything he does is calculated to appear caring, but it’s really about control. He acts like he’s protecting her when he’s really just feeding his own emotions. Even his 'revenge' on the orange guy is about his own need to feel important in haesoos life.
Also him letting orange guy hit him on the face to have wounds and sht. Come on people, if the author paints him more of a villain, he's a scary dude.

yes!!!he lets carrot head to hit him to fuel the hatred of na haesoo!! all of the things he does will make na haesoo hate carrot head more. and this will make na haesoo depend on him more!!
don't think just because he's the ml, he's going to not push for revenge and shit. there's a monologue of taeha describing haesoo as the withered flower. so probably this will mainly center to the sufferings of mincheol
As I read the novel it makes me sad to think that they could’ve had a great marriage… they were both attracted to each other. The husband cared for her in his own stupidly clumsy way but he prioritized his duty over his wife plus he Neglected her and didn’t care about her reputation. And now he’s gonna go full yandere on her because of his own selfishness and obsession. Tbh this is my first time not loving the “actual” male lead. He is alright… not like how I was fond of Heinry (remarried empress).
Now my what if… I wonder if they had a child early on would he have abandoned his duty and focused on his family?
I need an alternative needing pls
I get what you are saying bc I don't really shipp her with the ml but at the end of the day her husband main goal was to destroy her family for his own benefit, and he does not really love her but the idea of her :/ and even if they had a child I think it would have complicated their situation, because she would have a kid with a man that wants to destroy everything she loved.
Idk if you had read "my beloved oppressor" but their relationship it's a bit similar, I think they situation is more complex tho
True. I think he more likely think of her as a possession. Something that he owned only to himself and no one else, idk
Even if he didn’t have this mission, he wouldn’t have been a good husband. He never needed to have 7 mistresses yet he did. Only one of them (Olivia) was needed for the operation canary but the others were not. He is someone who lacks empathy so FL would have never been happy with him.
I haven't read this but was the cheating real?
Yeah real cheating. The webtoon is good though but some people are being delusional (like here) to think that FL's husband "could have been" someone good IF this or IF that. They're saying that because they don’t like the actual ML, but I think he's decent. Worth letting it marinate for a while imo
