Damn that was kinda sad ngl. It shows how far greed can take a person. Rashta didn't just want sovishit. In the end she wanted throw a shadow over Navier and she wanted to take her place. She wanted Navier to be miserable.
Not excusing adultery at all but she originally became the mistress to escape slavery. I very much doubt she loved the king. She needed his authority to get herself out of there. As a slave hiding her identity, I doubt surviving among a bunch of power hungry classist nobles would've been easy. The king was just dumb as fk for trying to make her the Empress because no fking way a woman with no education can take on that kind of responsibility.
His selfish actions set Navier free but trapped Rashta forever in a position of power she never actually needed. Rashta, being desperate and yes, greedy but also very naive agreed to being the Empress only because she blindly trusted him the same way Navier did.
Once her position was in jeopardy, for her, it was a matter of survival. Once she crossed the line and justified murder and abuse, there was no going back. She could no longer be a mother to her own children.
I don't love Rashta but I don't fully hate her either. I have a more nuanced opinion of her character. I believe if she was born a noble she would not have done what she did. Again, totally not excusing her actions but just looking at them from a different perspective. This story does a good job of conveying how a classiest society works. Rashta never really stood a chance.
Also fuck sovieshit
My two cents : Rashta DEFINITELY didn't love sovieshu. She legit only says she does in extreme moments (Example: dungeon), or when it benefits her (Example : when she's asking for something from Sovieshu).... Not to mention she was never against cheating on Sovieshu with Ergi in the beginning even though she JUST got married with Sovieshu
Also, I wholeheartedly believe Rashta is the type of person who has an ego SO BIG, in the end they could really only love themselves.
Ayo? What problem is he trying to fix by quitting his job?? That was so random......
Imagine having a whole cult of stalkers wanting to break into your house and sexually assault you. I would never be able to step out of home again.
╥﹏╥
Is it just me or did the author kinda infantilize the FL? She was quite interesting the first half of the plot.
Yeh I only check in now and again to see whats happening bc after ML's feelings became requited she became really childish, its cringe
My guts melted when that damn twink entered the room. Like how tf could Adam allow that??? So glad he got punched.
About fucking time for Jiho to grow some self awareness. I'm honestly glad Inwoo is asking for him to see things from his perspective. These aren't exactly situations you can fuck around with. Jiho doesn't even know Inwoo's mom.
I mean... I don't think Leo is BAD, he's just dumb af and incredibly dense and immature. Fully understand JJ tho. They never did boyfriend stuff. He feels used. Kinda on JJ' s side here. Leo needs to apologize.
Ok so I thought so too but also if you look at their interactions JJ never really put much effort into the relationship and even if he was feeling pushed aside why not talk to Leo like that’s how you are supposed to work through relationships WITH YOUR PARTNER
Dunno man, they're both adults and I'm guessing JJ felt that there are some things that are supposed to be OBVIOUS in an adult relationship. This wasnt true with Leo not because he's bad but because he's suuuuuuuuuuper dense.
The stuff Leo was watching on his phones seemed nice. I'm guessing this "sex only" thing happened gradually over time. Like another comment mentioned, no one wants to sound like they're begging for affection. This is pretty much exactly what a falling out looks like. They're going to be fine tho (T_T)
Faaak, my heart broke for everyone. Side stories better have some fluff
