I couldn't give a rat's ass about this guy's tale of woe. Seriously. Who cares? It doesn't excuse his behavior in the slightest. He's a scumbag through and through.
Um... isn't Asher engaged? Σ( ￣□￣||)
EXACTLY what I was thinking
No, he’s not really engaged. The most suitable candidate was Isis for the position of the Crown Princess, so everyone assumed that she’s going to be bethroted to Asher. In other words, their supposed engagement is in process and not official yet, but Asher really hates Isis so he’s trying to defeat the Aristocratic Party so he can avoid the marriage.
So erm it's been awhile since I read this but who is Isis? (ಥ_ಥ)
Mielle's fiance's (the duke of fredrick dude) sister.
And whooboy doesn't he hate her *giggles*
Seriously, I've had enough of SH's abuse. Poor Na-Kyum. SH's really treating NK as a prostitute now and it breaks my heart. I don't know why the author introduced NK's noona. It's not like she'll be able to help him.
That's my OTP, okay. Anyone who opposes it can take a hike. NK deserves the best.
So we'll have to wait another week for the next chapter and then we're probably gonna have to wait several weeks after that for the other chapters (I somehow doubt Byeonduck will be posting during the holidays). Don't get me wrong, I feel for the author and understand she needs time off to improve her health, it's just that I'm impatient af and this story has turned me into an anxious mess.
I thought it uploaded today?
The author is going on a hiatus until December 18
I just checked the official website and last year she posted during the holidays as well, so unless she hasn't personal issues I don't think she'll stop in the next weeks...
maybe if people hadn't bombarded the author with hateful twitter comments, we would have gotten an upload this week.
people need to get over the fact that THEY dont write the story, the author does
Omg was she really attacked for that?? I already knew some yaoi's fandoms are toxic but wow people seriously need to get a life
It's a sad thing when kisses need to be censored...
but i think it gave a more romantic touch to it
Although I'm mostly angry at SH, I also think NK could have said something. He could have told SH the truth without mentioning Ji-Hwa's name. He could have said that he was kidnapped and that he cannot disclose their names because they told him they'd kill him if he does. He could also have explained why he likes staying with SH (he's not in love with him but he clearly likes staying with him - I think just saying that would have been enough to calm the beast that is SH). Granted, SH likely would not have believed NK's kidnapping story because he's clearly made up his mind about what has happened due to his low self-esteem and past experiences, but still there'd at least be a slight chance that he might. AND he might not have reacted as violently as he did now.
Both of them need to open up and talk! I get that times were different then and all, but jeezus.
It looked like SH was apologizing when he raised NK's hand to his forehead. You could tell he felt guilty as he rubbed NK's bruises too. The fact that he let Heena stay at NK's side also speaks volumes. It makes me feel like SH is not a total lost cause. I'm not saying this or a mere apology can make up for his abuse, very little if anything can, but at least it's good to see that he can show remorse and that he's not totally rotten. I only hope that he and NK will have a proper conversation soon and that he'll actually admit he was wrong and apologize somehow. I'm not saying he must say the words, because he's a noble after all and apologizing to a lowborn would be considered quite a humiliating act, but to show it some way.
While I would like NK to go with Heena to the kisaeng house and get away from this awful affair that would make him an easy target for both Min and Nameless. Now that Min has revealed Ji-Hwa's actions there is no question that SH will try to retaliate somehow and as a result Namless will likely think NK spilled the beans. NK is safest with SH now that he finally knows the truth. It's sad and ironic, but it is what it is.
I'm really looking forward to the Special Story chapter next week. I'm really curious to see what lowborn-SH will do. I hope he's less of a douchebag.
At least someone can have a proper reflexion about this story.
... sorry I press to fast the button "post" (my bad).
You speak the truth and I want to thank you because I can't stand all the coment I read. People forget this is another area during which you can't act like in our century. I mean, I read someone recommend a therapy to Seungho... like you can at that time ! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
No worries, it happens, thanks for commenting and agreeing with me.
Yes, I feel the same way. This story takes place roughly somewhere around the 18th century (judging by Min's comment about the Qing dynasty) and things were very different then, not just in Korea but all over the world. You just can't apply the ethics, morality and standards of our time on past events. It's ridiculous how people can't seem to understand that.
Exactly !
