Ya'll idk why everyone is hating on the ml the fl made a choice to have sex with him regardless and she got pregnant ok I get that it's scary to be pregnant and I get that its scary to find out that the dad is the ruler of a damn empire, but what can you do. Everyone saying he put a spell on her is just wrong he connected their dreams so they could meet since they couldn't meet in real life. Even though the ml didn't let on that he knew he treated her well when she was a knight. She obviously didn't want him to know so he followed her wishes and pretended not to know. When she finds out he knew she gets mad, like I get that its embarrassing to find out that what you did in your dreams are real but running away is really immature and I still don't understand why she hates him, Its not like he raped her or made her fall in love with him. she also had no rights to take his kids away from him and then LIE to them that he was this evil mean person when he was nothing but good to her. SHE made the decision to have sex with him and HE made the decision to have sex with her. I get hiding for a little bit when she found out he knew along but she should have realized that her kids need TWO parents and that you can't take them away from one of their parents. she should have sat down with him and talked about it. If he wasn't the emperor I bet 100% she would be married to him by now. And everyone hating on him stop cause he has done nothing wrong to receive this much hate.

He was evil and mean. Yes the sex was consensual but the king even said if anyone claimed to have his kids they would get punched, also he keep leading her on and lying to her throughout the whole story. and no, you don't NEED 2 parents to raise a child. You should take the kids away if one of the parents is abusive, which is what happens in real life lmao. He wasnt abusive towards her but he was cruel.

He clearly doesn't care about the kids, and is Bella toxic so yeah deserved to be hated ATM. Maybe he can redeem himself once he changes, but who knows if that will ever happen . I mean forcing a women to become ur wife bc she got pregnant and abortion were not allowed back then, typically werent anyways. She wanted the kids but she decided they were better off without a toxic father.

He obviously does care about the kids especially in the next chapter and he really isn't toxic she honestly overreacted about the whole ordeal emperor or not I get why she didn't tell him initially but when she found out he knew she should have at least tried and a lot of kids do need both parents it's scientifically proven that kids do better with two parents than one. And I don't think he needs to redeem himself at all. He should apologize for the dream thing but besides that, he really hasn't done anything wrong. we should stop hating on ml's for things its starting to become annoying and she didn't run away for her kids but for herself, she was being selfish. no kid deserves to be taken from their parents.

I typically don't hate on mos unless they are toxic / have done cruel things. Maybe its bc i can relate to the fact that he is kinda trying to control her life that I do not like him. But I would assume trying to control ones life is cruel, however I do know they end up together but how he is going about it ATM is very very wrong.

He literally said he was going to make whoever claimed to have his kids pay for lying bc it seems he wouldn't believe it. That is why she ran.I assume she couldn't get rid of the children with medical help since it wasnt really a thing back then. He literally threatened to force her back which is toxic lmao. And I said if the other parent is cruel / toxic / abusive, then obviously the children should be taken away from that person, which can happen IRL. And ur right no kid "deserves " to be taken from their parents, but some parents deserve to be taken away from their kids. He should apologize. He should redeem himself. Yea sure she over reacted a bit but I mean I think everyone would if some one was trying to control your life.

FR I don't get how people like or Support the ML he's soo toxic and saying she should deal with it because she slept with him is wrong. Like No one is saying it wasn't consenting everything was fine until he became creepy by casting a dream spell on her without consent then messing with her brain and emotions when she was vulnerable and causing her stress with no real reasoning behind it. And yeah it might of been hard for her to say the the MF EMPOROR she was carrying his child so she asked similar questions before like what will you do if someone was pregnant with your child he obviously knew where the conversation was going and instead or reassuring her he threatened to kill her and for what reason. so excuse me for not wanting to stay with a man who wont comfort me and could raise my children horribly. and maybe if she had stayed for an extra day or week he MIGHT of apologized but are you really risking it when you don't know if it will be your last day on earth. You guys are trying to simplify this situation because we've all seen FL endure torment and forgive easily but when we have a strong FL who wont take none of it and is not so easy to forgive we say she's annoying or immature. like what do you want then.

she only ran away when she realized he knew about the whole pregnancy he was never abusive to her, having her get checked up by the royal doctor, feeding her when she was hungry, letting her sleep on the job? yah because that just screams abusive. we all supported this until we found out the dreams weren't actual dreams so can you not. he has never yelled at her hit her or forced her into anything. We don't know about his past or why he kills them for lying, probably because they just wanted the empress seat and he knew they were lying. I think we shouldn't even bring that part up until we know WHY and what he had to go through so I'm going to keep quiet on this topic and especially during this time period people could get executed over anything.

When I said abusive, I wasnt maning him yk. I was saying thats also a good reason to take a parent away from the child. You clearly didn't understand what I was saying lmao. And yeah that's EXACTLY why she ran. He could of thought she was lying and had her executed over it. Bc at the time she had no clue he knew. And yes he has tried to control her life, if you don't see anything wrong with some of his actions, I hope you never encounter a relationship like this and think it is okay.

Yeah bc of what he threatened to do if someone went up and said they were preggers with his kids. He said they would pay for lying and at the time she had no clue he already knew. I actually don't know why he said that since well yk he already knew, at least that it washes. Not that she was preggers. It is toxic hun and the fact you can't see that is kinda sad. I just hope you get lucky in relationship and never have to deal with toxic people . And yeah he did try o control her life, he basically was fixing her to go back to him which 1) is very toxic and 2) very controlling.

THANK YOU !! I'm honestly worried about the people who are saying ml has done nothing wrong like what. I hope they get lucky enough to never get into a toxic relationship bc it seems that can't even identify the ML and FL relationship as toxic ATM. I do know it gets better bc of spoilers I really don't think story, and I just hope the FL doesnt just give into everything ML says :(

you saying " He could of thought she was lying and had her executed over it." doesn't make sense when he already knew so he would have never executed her in the first place or thought she was lying. And he didn't try to control her life, he literally let her do whatever she wanted to do even though she was pregnant he let her continue to be a knight he didn't lock her up or control what she ate or did in her free time. The only bad thing he was done was connect their dreams. he literally hasn't done anything to her, If chasing the woman who took your kids away from you is wrong then I don't want him to be right and he is NOT the only ml that has chased the girl they liked after she has run away from them and we are all for it so stop being a hypocrite

He said that because he was pretending not to know and he said if someone, not her came up to him and said they were pregnant with his kids and they would be punished. he didn't threaten her he answered her question when she asked. If she came up and said that she wouldn't be punished because she wouldn't be lying. You keep calling him toxic and controlling but have given nothing to back it up with

he never told her to 'deal with it' he didn't mess with her feelings he likes her and she liked him back and he didn't mess with her brain. he answered her question honestly if someone who was lying came up and said that they had the emperors child it was justified to execute them in this time period they were really cruel and she isn't being strong at all by running away

It's not about the consensual sex she's scared because the emperor said he'd kill the person who said they were pregnant with his child moreover his reputation is that of a merciless killer of course she'd be scared. And she does have the right to raise the kids on her own not all kids have both parents she can be a great single mom . Ik the emperor Will probably not harm her or the kids but he didn't convey that to her properly and scared her even more
And he wasn't even remorseful when she lied that she couldn't have the kid
She's just a normal person of course she's scared and wants to run away

honestly I feel like I'm the only one who interpreted the emperor's words differently when he said he would harm any woman who claimed to bear his children. This is because at the time, he was aware that our FL was bearing his child, and that she was the only 'true' one that was- everyone else was a liar. so I assumed he said that as a way to tell her that he'd harm anyone else that came forward, but it wasn't pertaining to her specifically. the thing is, she wasn't aware that the emperor already knew about the pregnancy from the dreams, so she assumed she was lumped together with the rest of them, and thus feared for her life and the child's and ran away. at least, that's how I looked at the situation when I read it, I could be dead wrong but that's fine, interpretation varies from reader to reader and that's how I choose to interpret the situation.

Dw, here I sit and think of how come ppl don’t notice that.... I agree he said it in wrong way (usual miscommunication), but I read it as he will punish anyone who will lie to him that they have his child while the one who does already right next to him (and he knows it).
Honestly I find them both stupid in usual shoujo/manhwa way, aren’t most of such stories have miscommunication for drama? The only I truly dislike from this genre is Abandoned Empress (it seems she stays with her abuser in the end?).
To sum up, I don’t hate this Emperor (there are more horrible ones), at most he said sentence wrongly which cause hyper sensitive FL to go on a run (ye, can’t say it’s completely wrong with bloody rep of ML), but idk this cat and mouse chase is tiring and that’s the children who suffer. Grab your guts woman just come and talk to him face to face, he has your children already if he wanted he would have killed them by this time.
P.S. This captain of hers also doesn’t really help, but makes everything worse.
Like we don’t even know the princess yet but I don’t like her
