he’s been ostracized and abused since birth, but still manages to have such strong morals. he had the potential to become a good king but bc of his shitty, violent mother he has to bear his family’s responsibility just for existing. his childhood innocence was taken from him so early, im rooting for him sm

Furthermore his father's neglience and action also affects his personality and the way he sees himself. He gave up before he even try just because both parents demeaned him daily.
His mother is abusive and his father is neglient. As much as the mother deserves her punishment later, I also want to see the Emperor suffer too.

couldn’t agree more!! the father played a huge part in letting the abuse continue and his lack of care/empathy for his son, as a person, caused so much insecurity in the prince. he couldn’t even seek comfort or help from anyone growing up due to being betrayed by his parents.
also off topic but it’s really sad how the noble society paints the prince as this wild/violent addict when he literally has to take drugs or drink in order to not feel pain like it makes me sad how much he has to go through and is only able to rely on one person (his servant)

it’s so funny how ml is supposed to be one of the top agents and is super good at his job, especially being undercover but as soon as he gets to russia he’s just taking losses left and right?? it’s not making sense at all how often he’s getting caught, and then he keeps getting his ass beat or found out like it’s making me laugh so much. also, he lowkey seems impulsive especially at the party, like ur supposed to be secretive rn but you knocked out one of the servers and a guard like no one would check on them

AHHH i hope this heals both their angsty teen selves. i wanna know if they’re finally gonna address the past like soohyun explaining why he hated eunsung and just that whole dynamic back then
also it’s nice seeing them in a different light. both of them being okay with working as a team and putting their pride to the side to get each others approval and attention, so adorable

i read up to ch 21 and the story had sm potential but it felt so rushed and unconnected? like why did killian have sex with mc when he’s been saving his first time for the og fl. not to mention it ended up happening bc of the “seduction plan” that was supposed to fail. i thought mc was trying to avoid going to him at night but there was literally no reason for her to go into his room so suddenly, and then him pushing them both to do the deed
to me killian/mc’s chemistry feels so forced because they barely spoke to each other and the times that they did, he was mean asf to her + the convos barely had any substance. he’s shown no trust in her and they don’t even hang out or see each other often. nothing is drawing them together if that makes sense, like there wasn’t a scene that made him realize she wasn’t a pawn to her family or smtg
her character reminded me of penelope from “villains are destined to die” which is why i kept reading but the story is not going her good nor are the major points in this story making sense (i.e, the forced romance, mc having a sudden change and thinking it frees her from og villainess’s past actions)
it’s a known fact that this story is shitty and terrible but can we also mourn the fact that the art is gorgeous but wasted on a bad story like this. like the artist’s understanding of anatomy and how they draw emotion is so appealing but it’s not being used to it’s full potential. hoping the artist collabs with a good writer and doesn’t make literal torture porn again bruh
