Is this worth reading? I keep seeing complaints but it has alot of chapters to binge

Well... The ML sold the FL to a psychopathic noble to get a castle, wich led the FL to be horribly tortured for years (she even has her tongue cut out), then he become Emperor while she fall into slavery. The FL is some years later taken to the castle as a concubine and the ML, who do not recognize her, proceed to torture her even more by raping her (at least twice) before using a magical water that heal her wounds and make her have her voice back... He only start regretting his actions and become softer when he learn that the concubine who he thought was only a "look-alike" if in fact the "real" FL... And he is STILL going to be reedemed and become the love interest in the end... So... your thoughts?

Am I the only one who likes the empress? Like she seems like shes trying her best to adapt to a world that shes obviously not used to. Yeah she may have let the evil dude in, but he was the only person who seemed like he could help her at the time. Now that shes seeing more of him, she not blindly trusting him as she used to. Just bc shes not acting the way you would like her to, doesn't really make her a dumb or a bad FL.
Do you think... Nine and Melissa will room for one more
