The fact that EVERY adult failed him is wild. His "father" was really like, yup, under age prostitution sounds like a great punishment for your MOTHER'S infidelity, and every other adult was like you know that doesn't sound okay, but you pay my lifestyle sooo I say, see, and hear nothing! The fact that the attendant told middle school him it was his responsibility to whore himself out, after promising to be his shoulder to lean on really made me want to go into this story and become a murderer. Everyone would have to go. Craziest thing to me about this is that if the friend never came back he would literally be stuck in this cycle the whole time because he literally thought he had no means for escape and that leaves me so sad.

Could not be any man hiting on my child regardless of sexual or clothing preferences. That would be the QUICKEST way to end up put out, in jail, or 6ft under if I had to take it that far. The fact that he was already on parole, hell, I would have hit myself and blamed it on him to get him the hell up out my house. Morale of the post: you can attempt to beat on me and my kids, but know there are direr and potentially deadly consequences.

It happened sooner then I thought and I love that I got to see father and son sharing a drink happily. Also Haon really does look similar to his mom like I said before. I'm glad we got to see a snippet of her. Dad recognizing their relationship at the end and Haon being embarrassed by it was too cute. Also author-san has clear favorites. Lol Why everyone that Papa asked about Haon too, would only acknowledge how hot Rigon is! Like it's true, that man is hotter then hell, but gramps at the end ain't have to play Haon toward the end by saying he not quite handsome. Lol Haon is handsome, beautiful, cute, and sexy!! I dare you look me and Rigon in the eyes and tell us he ain't! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

Alot of people hate Haon's father, but I don't. You can't deny the he was emotional withdrawn from Haon, or that he was rarely around, but Haon brought up a point in the words he chose to swallow. That if his father was lonely after his wife/slash mother died, why couldn't they mourn together? Why did he push Haon away? Mourning a love one is alot to overcome. Even when you have nobody but yourself to look after, just day to day coping can be a struggle. Adding a child into the mix makes things harder. You have to remain in a headspace where even if you don't feel like it, you have to make sure the child is taken care of, and you can scream all day "Well that child didn't ask to be there. It's the parents responsibility to be there through thick and thin. Haon was mourning too."
And while all that is true it does not change the fact that coping with death is different for everyone. Haon's mother passed and his father put all connection and emotions on the back burner. He made sure Haon had peers, teachers, clothes, food, and just about anything else to keep a child engaged, but kept his interactions with his son to a minimum. Question? Did anyone else notice that Haon's resemblance to his father isn't that big? That more than likely means he looks more like his mother. Looking and caring for your son that looks like your deceased wife may not have been easy for his dad.
The part that I love the most about this and his father, is also the saddest piece. The regret he fell into when he lost everything and if you read the last chapter you realize everything for Haon's father was not even the academy. Cause if Haon had stayed gone, he wouldn't have even touched it. Everything was Haon. His only son and last piece of his wife. Even with Haon alive the regret and guilt doesn't go away because facts are he was a disconnected parent, but from present forward he can at least try to be better and that's what I love. That he is trying and not being high-handed about it. Haon doesn't have to forgive him, you can't undo what's been done, but I can hope continuous effort on the father's part brings at least the occasional visit and drinking session.
I feel bad for her. They called her mad, but obviously from the few hints you can assume that someone reincarnated into her body and could not adjust to the new environment. Imagine being thrust into some else's body. Unsure of who you are, where you are, if you can get back. Realizing that if you can't, you leave everything and everybody behind. Family, lover, children, keepsakes, and life accomplishments. Having to live your new life and that of an empress with responsibilities to not only a new family but the empire.
Sleeping with a man (the emperor) that is your husband, but also isn't your husband. Taking care of a child that is your child, but that isn't your child. This could be extremely hard especially if you left behind your own loving husband and children. Also you are not actually mad, but they treat you like you're crazy because you are acting like you are a different person because you are indeed a different person, but no one believes you. After the mental wear and tear it's no wonder she gave up in the end.
We so often read stories where the reincarnated person is just like the FL. Always quick to adapt to the situation of being reincarnated, but I honestly feel like alot of us would despair like the empress did. I wonder if she thought ending her life would send her back to where she came from. It also leaves me wondering what happens to the original owner of the body. I wonder if it's safe to assume that the orginal owner and the reincarnated person died at the same time, so when the one soul leaves the other slips in. I hope they address it in the later chapters~
