May I ask does it have a harem?
Harem can also mean that lots of female characters are having interest with the mc. But it does not always mean that mc has interest in them girls either. Many Japanese manga do that, so harem for some ppl is like MC will got them all girls. In this case this manhwa doesn’t focus on that. MC is revenge driven so i doubt he will have time for that.
I just noticed that Kuma is like John Coffey from the movie The Green Mile. They are both gentle giants and healed the sick. Kuma expel and absorb the illness that people have like John Coffey. They also both suffered false accusations (Kumar for being a tyrant and John for being a murderer). I wonder if Oda get his inspiration from John Coffey into carrying the character of Kuma.
And these people sold their soul for money.... Hypocrite. Envious people become narrow-minded. Even in real life, no matter what you do or say people will talk bad about you. I admire this MC because he knows himself the most and he wouldn't do what other thinks of him. But I also pity him because the nobility and all these people becomes a hindrance for him to succeed. No matter how talented and gifted you are, people bring you down.

According to the novel, these are the following characters that has romance in the story:
*Jinshi and Maomao (Jinshi doesn't want Maomao to steal her freedom. There was a point in the novel that they should sleep together and Maomao knows the consequences of it that the moment they made love, she will no longer be able to leave the inner palace like what happened to Lady Ah-fou when she slept with the Emperor. Jinshi love Maomao but she dismissed him that night because he placed importance in Maomao's freedom. The emperor and other officials are pushing Jinshi to take a consort)
*Lihaku and Pairin
*Basen and Consort Lishu (Lishu will no longer be the emperor's consort later on. She is like the daughter to the Emperor and Lady Ah-duo)
* Lahan and Yao (Yao is Maomao's friend who came from a noble family and they both working in medical clinic inside the palace later on in the story)
*Kan Junjie (Lahan's older brother) and En-en (she is also Maomao's friend and co-worker)
*Baryou (Basen's older brother) and Chue (spy of the imperial family). I really love Chue in the story.
Consort Lishu?? Is she the underaged high consort??
BUT LIHAKU AND PAIRIN??? OH MY BOY LIHAKU LOCKED IN FRFR
Yes, Lishu is the underage consort. She's 14 in the manga but in the novel she is now 16 years old. Basen's family already informed the head of Lishu's clan (Lishu's grandfather) that they have the intention of Basen and Lishu to get married if the grandfather permits it. We still don't know in the novel if the grandpa will allow it. Lihaku and Pairing are still not official but Lihaku wants to buy Pairing to become his wife. It does not happen yet in the novel.
Ohhh good for her then!! After 2 marriages, Lishu finally can get married to someone decent lol
i’m curious as to whether you read a TL of the novel or the original JP? i found a translation a while back but it was really confusing for me to read
I read the official translation for Volume 1 - 11. I download the ebooks of the novel. As for Volume 12-15, I read it in English but it is unofficial translation but easy to understand.
THERES AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION??? SINCE WHEN
Yes, there is already an official translation year ago. The official translation has volume 11. The link is below. You can download the volumes of the novel. I recommend you download the epub. Just scroll down below to see the download option and click epub. Then, you will see Volume 1 - 11. The phasing of the manga is currently on Volume 4 Chapter 12, so the novel is really long ahead.

In which volume does maomao get togethwr with ml?
The link not working
Do Jinshi and Maomao never get their happy ending? :(
Kan Junior! So that’s his name! I have read the official translations till vol 12 and they still don’t know his name then and call him Laban’s brother and he also go forgotten in the western city they were in
Kan Junjie* Lahan*
Vol 13 parts are out on j-novels! I didn’t realize - going to read it now
search for jnovels.com they have all the epub and pdf versions of the official release which was done by jnovel-club.
not really downloading coz of a virus, am i doing it wrong?
you can find the official translation at j-novels.club
if you look up jnovels in your searchengine you will find them all too as pdf or epub.
Okays
Wait does that mean honnyan still didn’t get a partner
can you tell me more about Lahan and Yao?? i genuinely dont remember their arc
newest volume lightnovel (13) Honnyan still got no love arc.
There is no real arc for them so far.
In Volume 12 of the lightnovel they have more interaction with each other and all looks quite polite inbetween them. It seemed that there might be more going on following a thought of Lahan that he admires her beauty but we did not get any more than that and with Vol 13 out it also seems that this will not be the pairing it gets to.
Or maybe I read too much into it and it stays with this.
Volume 14 is up on j-novels for weekly reading!!
