Dropped at chapter 34. The initial premise was interesting but the premise becomes tangentially mentioned in the subsequent chapters. I feel like the plot's all over the place too. The emperor feels like two characters forced into one? He sounds like he cares for his youngest brother, ML, and at others like he's scheming against the ML? The ML and FL also have rather incongruous behavior, like the plot is being forced into a specific direction that does not suit the characters.
