Haha her bro flinching at her "it's explanation time" announcement, in the background
I thought the nosebleed meant there would be an improvement... But NO.
Who would've known: blue hair's such a *huge* social inept that the extent he's been starving for human affection is so high, he'd cling to the first crumbs of emotional connection that anyone had thrown his way... no matter if they were faked with dark magic.
So, the red haired "doctor" is a villain sent in by Erusha's estranged maternal family... Either her maternal family are bad guys, or they're being manipulated too.
It's a bit scary how darn *accurately* this webtoon depicts teen/early adult girl's thoughts and behaviors... On another note: Loony girl focusing on Sera so intensely and from so early on makes me suspect she had made some kind of sketchy deal with that shady old man of the creepy eyes to do witchcraft on Sera and curse her.
Spoiler about their relationship

The crazy bitch was born cursed, she would never be loved, never happy. Her parents found the shaman and he said that the only way to "cure" Crazie from the curse, was passing it to another child.
Crazie them decides she wish to pass on to Sera. Because of that, Sera's started acting like a crazy mad woman, she was conscious about her acts and that she was hurting people, but she was unable to stop.
oh my gosh, my poor sera
That's so fucked. Dyk why she chose sera in the first place??
Omg
If I remember correctly, she kinda obsessed with Sera. Sera was a genuine chill girl and people liked her. But after the switch, Sera became the crazy nobody like, and Leesomethingsomething started to became popular.
Here we go again with this FL hurting herself... sigh.
Hoping she's planning sth else for it, this time, bc I'd thought we were at least past that.
So. let me get this straight.........
So far, what we know about the crown prince's "mysterious" motivations is:
--
1) that the crown prince has a curse that can only be cured by "confining" the FL (.........yeah, they said so in chapter "zero", but don't ask me, I still don't get why, either...);
2) that this curse that the prince has is somehow related to the same red dragon that her ancestor defeated (key word, that her ancestor "purified" with "divine power"), and,
3) that the reason it has to be her (that he confines) is connected to how she can use the power of (probably all) constellation treasures....?

And I think that's all. Did I miss anything?
I almost... ALMOST misunderstood the mc as a pushover Mary Sue who can't do anything other than acting pitiful to the emperor and receiving his protection... thank heavens I persevered because by chapter 9 I understood that's only a first impression, and she's actually a layered, realistically humanized vulnerable character prone to speaking with emotional frankness, and who that establishes humanized, emotionally frank interactions with other people (and more importantly, with the ML)
Edit:
Still, I think I will still drop this for now... since it seems the ML has a(n unwanted) royal harem and the first arc will focus on the mc's catfights with the members. I simply can't stand royal harem's petty squabble stories, normally... (the only exception "I will fall with the emperor", for obvious reasons...)
The fake "thread of fate" connecting mc and ml (as in, the thread made by the evil spirit) definitely seems like it needs to go: both the gangster's shaman and the ML's young uncle (a young shaman) agreed on it. That's two unrelated shamans agreeing with each other, despite the fact that they've never spoken to each other:
The gangster's shaman said in chapter 59 that cutting that fake thread off would help "save 2 people's lives", which would be enough to "heal the 2nd ML's thread", that had ended up weakened and snapped "due to bad karma". Ergo, that "saving 2 people's lives" was meant to be taken here as "making good karma" = doing a "good deed", and not just as saving their *love* lives, but their *literal* lives. And THAT coincides with what the OTHER shaman, the ml's uncle, said, about the fake thread attracting the evil spirit that made it, and that still wants to cash in on that debt that the ML unknowingly incurred (as a child) by asking that evil spirit to make that thread: the price to pay was to let the spirit take both his and the mc's lives, after the spirit's part of the deal (to let the ml have a relationship with the mc) was already considered "fulfilled" (which is why I also think the ml dumped the mcfor this reason: in order to save him and himself from being killed by the evil spirit, when it came to collect the debt).
that's insightful, thanks! i hope the uncle can still give us more details as to what can be done to avoid the bad spirit retaliating back (idc about the blonde, hope his dck gets cut off) and affecting Han-gyul's life and re-blossoming career.
Lol, lesson to men everywhere: THIS is how you express jealousy and *win* points rather than lose them
Ok..... while none of those real manipulative girls that I ever saw (who manipulated others like that, back in high school) reacted *that* far off the charts when not getting their way... ...I'm still sorry to say it's scary how the part about manipulative lil' "sweethearts" trying to pull you in hook and sinker several times with that technique ("Woo is me, my life is so pitiful bc *insert bull crap*, but you're surely gonna feel sorry for me and do *just this one more thing* for me, once again, because even though you're so much better off than me, you're still a kind person to those worse off than you... aaaaren't youuuuu???" *rinse and repeat several times over*) is still VERY accurate...
...Unless I am the only unfortunate soul in here who DID manage to cross paths with those types of "beautiful humans" in high school? ..Perhaps I was so naive, I even attracted them...
Thank GOD I grew out of it.
I thought I was the only one that was a magnetic for those girls. I'm not friends with any of them anymore. And thank God I grew out of it too.
