A FL who survived hell, lost all her hard-earned powers, and now foolishly chases after a typical and brooding cursed ML who doesn't know how to communicate with her and only falls in love with her because she can heal him.
I like FL's stepmother, who doesn't act like the Greek goddess Hera and defy her unfaithful sexist husband. She deserves more screen time.
And finally, I can't stand FL's father and ML's older brother, the Emperor.
The author doesn't allow the FMC to hit back her sperm donor, nor does the Empress remain angry at her imperial husband, who sleeps with other women and maintains the concubine system.
Divorce is sadly not an option in this patriarchal fantasy world.
I detest the classist trope that the lower class illegitimate daughter is an evil one, and the normalization of Slavery in this world.
Moreover, the overpowered Girlboss Bitch Elizabeth doesn't care about the (innocent) citizens, especially the children, of her homeland who didn't harm her.
Do they really deserve to die for believing the lie spread by the royal family that tarnished her reputation?
I can't stand this privileged Villainess manipulating and sacrificing the struggling commoners to start an uprising that only serves her revenge.










The narrative depicts the legitimate Wife and Daughter as evil, ugly and jealous monsters.
And the spineless husband/father doesn't receive the same punishment.
