hair pull was satisfying but not enough. wish she dragged her by the scalp up to the front door and kicked her out in the rain or something. so i'm just gonna imagine how the dad will tear that nanny apart once he hears how she used the dead duchess' name that he's so sensitive about to manipulate one of his kids

him: (absolutely misunderstanding everything) ha, this absolute pathetic evil POS. ugh i hate him so much, i don't really care about him or anything. i'm not doing this bc i'm attracted to him and this is actually all just a plot to torture him, i don't give a rats ass who he's with and what he's up to, really-
*sees them in a compromising position with another man*
GASP! harlot! whORE! how dare you look at another man and betray me!?!???

it's fascinating how artists who are obviously into lolicon just LOVE featuring an MC who's so defensive about their preferences that they gotta argue it every other chapter for cheap laughs. then after all that set-up of "i dOnT lIkE kIdS tHiS iS a mIsUnDeRsTaNdInH uwu" the artist turns around and literally puts their whole bussy into ignoring plotholes & making all of them have a thing for their MC

I'm sorry I don't sexualize someone whose in a swimsuit. The artist never once zoomed in on it or made it a whole thing. The funniest part is at my new job I have a coworker whose almost this exact body shape(does not have dwarfism) and is 10 years older then me and has a kid. I literally thought she was 15. Should I call her husband weird? These are fictional characters at the end of the day. Maybe stick with your problematic yaoi instead of "problematic" straight comics lol

the angst soon!!!
like, nah this is cute, sure! but this ain't enough to redeem you homie, i need the (spoiler) 'i put her aside & she died. so i chase after her shadows in everyone i see' part

the emperor! :]
(major spoilers for next arc)
this is pretty much his constant line of thinking after a series of traumatizing things happen:
-FL finds out/senses she will be leaving her current body
-she asks emperor to stay & spend this little bit of remaining time with her
-concubine suddenly asks for the emperor
-the emperor, torn between affection and a sense of duty/pity, chooses duty: he leaves empress to go to the concubine, promising he will be back immediately after seeing what the concubine needs (concubine just faked being sick)
-after he leaves, assassins appear, coinciding with the time the FL's soul leaves her current body
-emperor arrives to find kidnapped, and after chasing the kidnappers he arrives to her bleeding and holds her in his arms till she passed. he's stricken with guilt, further worsened by the fact that the FL had asked him to stay in (what he thinks is) her last moments.
-during this, the FL returns to her original body for two years
-in this time, the emperor becomes sort of unhinged and desolate after her death, both refusing to take any other empress to replace her and disallowing anyone to change/touch anything in the empress palace. his rule becomes tyrannical.
until more time passes and he sees a male guard visit the palace who reminds him so much of the empress. (weird translations on pronouns here so i couldn't tell if it was FL in disguise or her soul got transmigrated again to a different body when she decided to return to the emperor to protect him from an assassination attempt)
she end up being the emperor's body guard. the emperor begins to pursue him/her relentlessly and unlike before is very quick to confess he has unrequited feelings for her (in front of the whole court no less) and immediately begs/apologizes if he thinks he offended her.

i love how they're both absolutely misunderstanding everything
the unintentional innuendos flying over his head, the heated stares... the sexual tension is fuckin me up. ya boi is just trying his hardest to get promoted but homie is out here setting up an angsty illicit NTR affair and sexual business favors plotline in his head lmaoo
oh my gOD when sihyun sees that gay dating app he's gonna misunderstand some more and add it to the "He's a Ho" evidence list
i need the big reveal when they find out all of it
not my suspension of disbelief breaking when they mentioned she's 18 lmao. 30+ y/o dude hangin out with a recently 18y/o government issued, drag-racing, medical-practicioning, miracle-cure making, whitehat tech hacking, college entrance exams topping, martial arts expert chess grandmaster business mogul. why tf you gotta say it author
IKRRR why did the author make him so old? I'd give him max. 25 or 23, there really isn't a need for him to be 30, not to mention he's kinda boring
typical manhua
Exactly. Only in Chinese manhuas does this happen. Wish he was younger though, 18 and 30 doesn’t blend well together
