...I'm not sure I can ship it...i just...get a lot of motherly/sisterly vibes and she clearly views him as a child and....idk man.
At least they're handling this realistically, so i can at least hope that this won't turn out like those stories where the male lead is 16 and the fully grown ass adult starts blushing as I'd she had never seen a man in her life before(if this happens, hands will go flying)
But on the downside...they're handling this so realistically I cannot come to think of anything else than to relate, cause my brother just turned 13 and he is EXACTLY the SAME.
WHERE DID MY INNOCENT LITTLE BROTHER GO. WHAT IS THIS GREMLIN DOING IN MY HOUSE.
Uhmm...what?
Sorry, i don'tean to offend anyone, but this is just...unnattural.
The plot makes no sense, the pacing is haywire and the translation is...not exactly continuous.
It feels like random pages got taken out resulting in the pages left being smoothed together in order to make a semblance of a story but there are plot holes bigger than the size of my fist so I'm just very confused right now.
On top of that, through whatever semblance of a plot i could find, everything seemed unnecessarily dramatic and their resulting reactions so...forced and just...weird in general. Like i said, unnattural.
Yeah, the plot was cliche but I don’t remember it being this downright awful in the novel (I read about 20 chaps back when it was being tled b4 all the drama with the author on twitter). Honestly I think the manhwa adaption has just been done really poorly... the pacing is SO off, I agree.
Also, the translation doesn’t seem to help. It’s like ‘high quality’ mtl imo? It has been edited to seem correct, but like... it’s mtl. Or at least some chapters are. I know some Korean and choked when I read this one bubble “he was the first Confucius”.. the word for Confucius (공자) also means Young Master. It’s quite obvious that “he was the first young master” is the correct use given the context, but if you google tl/Papago it, you’ll get Confucius :P
So yeah, a mix of a shitty adaptation with bad pacing (possibly lack of experience on the artist’s part) with a kinda messy/inconsistent tl.
nnnnoo00000OOOOOO
I SAID THIS BEFORE AND I SHALL SAY IT AGAIN, SHE DOESNT DESERVE HIM.
SHEIS LITERALLY CRAZY, TRIED TO GET CECILE MURDERED AND CREATE A HAREM AROUND HERSELF.
I really do NOT want her to get what she wants. I mean, i know she wrote the story as a shameless self insert as some horny(probably) teen, but still.
The blueberry villainess is probably gonna end up with the mage, as well...ugh idk anymore
Ngl i dont know if I can read this cause the male lead has quite the disgusting personality and she is...well, i feel very sorry for her but I hold no real like for her either.
If he's horny can't he just get a mistress or something? I know he said the reason was because of her family but then it just brings to question why he married her in the first place. Even if he wasn't sure they would be this troublesome, you'd usually weigh how much sway they have in you, no? And the "male leads are never wrong" rule would usually apply so i don't know what's happening here. Even if he just viewed their marriage as a business transaction, the way he treated her makes no sense???
He can't just hate her guts when she obviously hasn't done anything unless you're scum with no empathy(so....) only to later fall irrevocably in love(lust?). The way they had sex, too. It was awful??? I've seen worse people greet their new wife better than that pathetic excuse for intercourse.
And then he has the gall to cut off her income and demean her existence, only to appear out of "curiosity"(he is seriously disgusting) to one of the only times she is ever going to be able to be free and have her body to herself. And yes, i mean to herself, cause even though another man would be pleasuring her, the utmost reason this would be happening is because she wanted it to.
And he has the nerve to interrupt that??? Out of fucking CURIOSITY????
Well FUCK YOU my dude i hope she has her way with all your fucking unmarried(or those in an open relationship) friends, WHILE YOU KNOW IT, UNABLE TO STOP THEM BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ADMITTING YOU WERE WRONG AND DO, INDEED, HAVE FELEINGS(and we can't have that, can we?)
And afterwards? After the two months have past? I want her to be thoroughly satisfied with her sexual life only to be proposed to one of her lovers(... preferably glasses guy that appeared earlier. He appeared to be apologetic, and the revenge such an act of backstabbing would be oh, so, sweet.) and live a comfortable life for herself without too much pressure or responsibility that being a duchess would bring.
...but I've read and written too much trash before not to recognise it, so i can say with total certainty that my wishes are merely far feched and born from too much imagination.
... I apologize if I offended anyone but this just makes me so frustrated...and i don't even like her! But seeing men treat women like that only to be forgiven of everything...it makes my blood boil.
I wish what u said would happen. She should not be with him if he just treated her like that for no reason and was starving her in order to get a divorce. If he had an decency he would wait until she found someone she could marry after he divorces her bc he knows how unfair women get treated in the story. Gosh I don’t like him at all she just wanted one thing and he couldn’t let her have it. Like u already want to divorce her why would u want to have s*x with her.
Hey am i the only one offended on the queens behalf???
Like he has such a wonderful wife but he's having children with other women but then still has the audacity to get jealous when others flirt with her??? Excuse me???
Agreed and emperor's usually had multiple wives and concubines in the past. It increases the chance of having a healthy heir and those who can continue the bloodline. I personally like the relationship between the emperor and empress in this one since it's so laid back and she accepted Estrella right away. You always see other stories where the empress or concubine tries to poison the other children in order to ensure that their child sits on the throne











We've all been had.
...i was gonna say something else but I completely forgot once I started typing this.
Oh right I just remembered (it was my first thought after seeing the cover again) i hoped they were gae
