I'm actually glad the author didn't just queer-bait and decided to make them canon. I appreciate how she sprinkled some realistic concept in there too. They are only teenagers and romantic love is a new emotion for them. They found it fast and with each other no less. And I appreciate how careful and cautious they are being about it, but also know that they want to explore it further with each other. Their future seems hopeful. Also it's hard to imagine them not together forever, they're practically attached at the hip lol.
The main story is done but there are side-stories I think the author just whips up when she feels like it. I hope they eventually get translated too! hehe.
This is based on a novel.
And unless the mangaka really goes against the original story (which doesn't seem like she will), the reality is (and it being evidently obvious in the story so far), the uke will never see the second lead romantically.
I don't think they see each other again or maybe briefly after he helps the uke run away and the uke comes back to the kingdom.
The uke and emperor will eventually live happily ever after.
Can't say the same for the uke's sister and father though at least.









From what I've gathered it's a happy ending lmfao. Keeping with the stories theme, they obviously both have issues but manage to find their happily ever with each other in the end, lol.
Do you know how many chapters until the end ?
it's based off a novel so no clue as I doubt the mangaka is following it exactly.
I'm sure if the novel had a happy ending, this Manhwa will keep that and only roughly summarize the bits in between as novel adaptations tend to do.
