Tbh I was wondering if all the comments would blame MC for not accepting Woojin, but I'm glad that isn't the case. No matter how good looking you are, consent is important. She's clearly stressed from being pressured into marriage and a relationship --- like chill please and give the poor gal some breathing room (ToT)lll
You can take it slow~

It's only been 18 chs and the plot hasn't even unfolded yet and y'all are just blaming ML for everything. Calling him a useless loser just bc this isn't GL?? We don't even know the context of what's really happening underneath the surface yet. I've seen dozens of truly useless MLs that are by far worse, good god. This one is neither incompetent, sociopathic, or some villainous duke.
Also as a social rule of thumb, men are not allowed to directly interfere with the faction feuds of noblewomen.
(And you know what, this is one of the more rare stories where the Emperor actually dotes and is in a loving relationship with his Empress...)
Babe, it's free money. Just take it.
