How much do we really know about the relationship of Woojin and Choi Yitae. Like we barely see Woojin when he isn’t the whipping boy of the universe like I wanna say the best chapter of him so far where he isn’t actively talking about MC is 124 and he says three lines and Choi Yitae doesn’t even speak and it’s implied that they’re on a date or something, but we wouldn’t know. Like I swear to God we’re not gonna get a side story we are gonna get one chapter and it’s going to be them being like yeah we’ve already married or some bullshit because the author would have to go back in time so far to justify them getting together because we literally have nothing like no information at all. Like we know more about the second Marie lead than anything. What’s happening with them? Maybe he should just be a triple in their relationship why the fuck not.
This is giving svsss where the author got so mad at her side couple being more popular than the main couple that she decided to fucking get rid of all of them like I’m sorry we like your characters why are we being punished?!?!
I think it’s very interesting how everybody is asking why doesn’t she just step down when they make it very clear that she ultimately does not have a lot of power over if she becomes the heir or not. She told her father opinion and then that made her brother’s life worse and if she wants to make her brother have a better life then telling her father she doesn’t want the crown is not the way.
I kinda wanted at least something to happen with taehee more then the quick hint of something at the end and I kinda like how that it shows that MC and Taehee wasn’t really good friends to each other instead of it being one-sided. If there is a side story I hope the plot is about Taehee and red heads relationship and his friendship with MC maybe repairing it but who knows
He should’ve just gave him backshots. I wanted to see it. Snow has been such a forgotten character until this moment he deserved some good backshots.
Some of y’all about to be real mad at me, however I think it’s important to point out the reason behind Raymond’s behavior is the shitty ass emperor. Like everybody says that him and his adopted brother had the same love from the emperor, but that’s clearly not true. The emperor clearly has a favorite and it’s not him. Like he told Raymond he would have to marry who he says he has to marry however, his favorite could marry for love. And you can say that’s because he’s younger however, if that was all Raymond needed, he would’ve been crown prince soon after his marriage to MC. But that wasn’t enough for the emperor. He wanted them to be in love. He literally tried to force people to be in love for his own reason and got mad when Raymond tried to push back. And now that he found out that Raymond doesn’t have any magic he’s willing to throw him away. There is no way the emperor ever genuinely cared for Raymond and that makes sense, especially when you see his behavior as an adult because he can’t regulate his emotions which is a sign of emotional abuse by the way, not diagnosing anyone with anything fyi and it’s not like this isn’t a common thing in these types of stories but it’s always crazy to see. Like I don’t go as far to say that the emperor is Raymond’s abuser however, I will say that if Raymond ever died there would be no love loss and the emperor wouldn’t skip a beat.
Now I don’t mean all this to say that Raymond is a saint either. He’s clearly awful but how much of that awfulness is a trauma response then you get into the murky lines between a victim and an abuser and that’s too much for the scope of this conversation. Because he did get forced into a marriage he clearly didn’t want and while he didn’t physically abuse his wife (such a low bar), he did emotionally abuse her (aka cycle of abuse) and let his mistress harass her. I don’t think it’s ultimately crazy that Raymond fed up with this behavior for almost 2 1/2 decades go to let’s get rid of him. I just think it’s so interesting they keep poking at him until he breaks and then blames him for all of it. It’s just very telling
I always wondered why the Emperor is so lenient on Ray, despite of everything...but considering of his actions with Erin and disregarding her opinions and feelings, there is some truth to your theory.
That and this is practically commonplace in real world history among nobles.
I’m kind of excited to see Erica’s big crash out like I hope they make it as big as it needs to be
He doesn’t seem too bad actually just more fragile than he wants to appear. He didn’t want to be alone but in doing so he hurt one of his closest friends. I feel like he’s going to be a side couple probably with MC’s friend or something I think he just needs someone
All bottoms should be allowed to stab/shoot their top at least once.
At the beginning I wanted him to beat the crap out of him at least once
Now that I’m finished reading it it’s just a nothing story like if you’re gonna do something like this at least go the way of jinx where you see ML downfall and his eventually redemption ark like I don’t care that some old man beat you with a bat don’t rape people like I need to save my baby he went through so much and had to carry even more
