I'm literally melting at his story. I love how the author used the flower symbolism in their relationship. the whole tattoo and flower shop part was a sweet touch.
The excitement of having sex with someone out actually like is also portrayed so nicely. it was very realistic. I love this author for their plot.
also this manhwa made me want more glimpse of Yuri and Jaerim. I would read 1000 side chapters of them without any drama.

I have so many questions like for example what did the previous incarnation of the current king do when the uke killed himself. and the seme is an asshole buy at the same treats the uke really nice and also is obsessed I can understand why the uke would hate it and it seems the uke also hated that because of him people died, but people kept dying when he kept rejecting the seme and wouldn't it be like smarywe to pretend to love him and then kill him but then again, if it had gone for too long it might seem impossible idk I'm just rambling.

I think he already tried pretending he liked him once, in the past life.
There was this flashback triggered when the old chief eunuch told the mc to just "bear with it" for one night (as in go along with it, maybe even pretend to be fine with it), and the mc remembered he had already tried that once in his pastlife, which had not only resulted in the past emperor deciding to grant him a newly-created royal consort/concubine title, but also in the emperor deciding to kill all the other royal constorts that had made attempts on the mc's life before... So I think that's why he no longer wants to consider that option.

The thing is, it's not the consort title thing that the uke is afraid of, but the potential killing of the other consorts once the emperor decides that he "no longer needs them" once he believes he has gotten the mc's "obedience"... The mc thinks that it was those women's deaths that brought on the karma that made the two of them (the emperor and himself) get punished with trepeating the same kind of mess in yet another lifetime... so obviously he doesn't want to "cause" any more deaths in the same way now, lest they both end up with karma again and get forced to reenact this for who knows how many life cycles...

I have been rereading this manga and I've realized that nakyum LET himself be tortured because of Inhun, each time he is about to leave, Seungho threatens him with Inhun's name. He is in this pitfall because of his immense love for Sir Inhun, thjs also shows his personality of how much selfless he can be for the person he loves. So I don't think Nakyum is a helpless uke I mean he didn't even get hard when Seungho fucked him the second time where nakyum knew it was seungho not Inhu , unless you count the recent updates viz. him saying he got hard because of seungho, this shift came exactly when he realized Inhun did not visit him once while he was sick for 10 fucking days, not necessarily saying he's all in love with seungho now but with the bridge of Inhun starting to close, and at the same time noticing the vulnerability of Seungho, probably might make Nakyum more into Seungho, that could be an explanation.
but personally, I hope the author won't let it just be that, I want Nakyum to be angry and he hasn't shied away from telling seungho off, "I'd rather die than be with you"
I wanna see what will happen when the leverage of Inhun isn't there. but the author is smart in bringing in the vulnerability of seungho at this exact moment when nakyum is starting to fall out of love with sir inhun. I've seen the spoilers. I'm getting muddled up lol
we come back for the cutie nakyum me amazing art at the end of the day.
came back to see this has a 9.6 and honestly DESERVED. I've been reading other mangas and nothing compares.
