The story's GOOD!! The FL's smart and the ML's an off-the-charts genius bodyguard puppy. The FL is hilariously making her cheating emperor husband's life hell by turning each of his mistresses into *official* royal concubines one by one, forcing him to keep dealing with them on a daily basis and drowning in their eternal fights and drama... (which is more than an incompetent idiot like him can stand). Absolutely brilliant!!
Well, done, ML! She got you those secret letters, so now you get her abusive sister stuck in prison by making the corrupted grandfather unable to go and get her out with brives.
...Haha, I called it. I predicted that not telling their youngest daughter the real reasons for giving their oldest an apparent "preferential treatment" would come back to bite these "parents" in the ass, later on... and it did. Now Blondie totally think they're throwing her under the bus compared to her oldest sister.
Rivena, how about I whisper "turn into a cockroach and stay that way" in your ear every day. ...Wait, that's an insult to cockroaches, so let's go for, "turn into feces and stay that way."
Damn.... That's also an insult to feces
Yeah at least feces has a purpose, to become decomposition for new plants.
Cockroaches survived the extension of dinosaurs. :/
Horus: "How DARE you make me your mistress, only to discard me in order to go back to your wife!" (Me: "Well, before being the 'evil mistress' you where an 'Anubis-wannabe', so I'd say it's still an 'improvement'... Now, stop acting like a rofan villainess, Horus. You said you'd support his freedom of choice, now it's time to walk the talk")
We have a saying, where I live: "If you want someone, let them free, if they come back, then they're yours. If not, they have never been, and never will be")
I think it's implied that the mother's just continuing the cycle of abuse (where she is to blame for not thinking of even trying any better, like the clown she is): her own father, the western duke, used to treat her like crap, which is why now she treats her own unwanted child like crap (and, lady, were you THAT impatient to prove your father right, that you indeed are a worthless vermin, without an ounce of self-pride, to the point that so far you have only dared to shift your grievances on those unprotected enough to be easily preyed on without them being able to strike you back, while you yourself keep cowardly hiding from your "real opressors", like -allegedly- with your ex husband... or, while you yourself even keep *vowing* to them, like with your hated father?). ...I hope at some point they strip the "mother" of her status and send her to pile up horse shit for a living. This woman's so vile, all three of her daughters have grown up with huge issues because of her (because she's a spineless b-- who only knows how to take her misery out on those who -allegedly- can't strike back). She's just an abusive b--- with no concept of what real dignity is, and she's lower than scum.
Sure, go ahead. Now "turning back time" becomes the standard solution to every stupid little problem.
(...she's such an arrogant bi-- . As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate this baby-kindapping, human-experimenting who**... ***she did horrible things to a 'baby; so sorry, not sorry. She deserves that w insult***)
Like turning back time is as easy as making noodles. Done in 5 mins
And if she succeeds, I'm gonna follow her recipe. oh wait- I'm missing the main ingredient, magic
Turning back time? I think there something is missing, (sacrifice)
Hmm.. right, a sacrifice is needed too. Since turning back time goes against the laws of the world. Fortunately, or unfortunately she has a lot of guinea pigs for that.
Lmao poor guinea pig
That is an insult to who** at least they bring people pleasure she is more like a disease. Using people for their own means and destroying them in the process
Lol, you're right. (But then it'd be an insult to diseases, too... Not even diseases want to own up to this woman, she's rejected everywhere, lol)
I feel like the husband might have become puritanical out of a constant lack of self-awareness about his own sheer naivete and lack of relationship experience... like, even the inexperienced FL herself might have a broader understanding of these things, than him. Most likely scenario is, that female friend of his is also aware of this, and thus has never seen him even remotely as a love interest (but girl... help a fellow woman by giving this guy a hint, about how to make his wife happy, at least... for jeezaz sake!!)
While it's not as common in Korean webtoons, in Chinese webnovels this is a usual trope: "villains being petty mediocre people who scheme to frame and bring down a talented protagonist, out of sheer envy and their own inferiority complex." This is such a prevalent, used and abused theme, they even have the label of "cannon-fodder villain" exclusively for these types of "pathetically-motivated" villains. They're so recurring, that I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they had started spreading to the fiction made in other countries.
ML: "Your moans are better than (listening to) a flute"
FL: 'Why is he talking about flutes? ...So random"
Me: 'Girl... if he's Azathoth, that *flute* can make him go to sleep... so, *maybe* it's the key to your freedom!'
Who is Azathoth??
He's a fictional alien supreme evil god in Howard Philip Lovecraft's horror stories, who gets called "blind idiot" just like the ML does in here, and is served by another alien god guy who has an artifact with the same name as the one this ML's secretary has in here, and is feared by the lesser gods Cthulhu and company, just like this ML is feared here.
