Girl,, cause this was my first thought when i saw that scene in the manhwa, Ive finished the novel a long time ago and already reread it like twice , and when I saw that scene i was like
Was there a scene like that??
Did mis read the novel???
And I reread the novel again , And I was right! Theres no such scene! How could they do this ??!? They made it an SA scene
Spicy scenes only happens later on when they both lovey dovey
omg same i got impatient too and seeked out the novel instead. i got majorly turned off by the manhwa when i realized they decided to turn the emperor into a red flag for no reason????? im currently at around chapter 90 of the novel and the most those two have done is hold hands!!!! i hate this manhwa adaptation so much grrr

So I got impatient and decided to read the novel. It is safe to say that I hate the manhwa now. When I read the part where emperor spend the night at mc's place (basically having sex) my first thought was this emperor is a jerk.
And then I decided to read the novel, and guess what? There is no such a scene in the novel. I am at around 100 chapter and there is no smut scene at all. This is just a story about 2 people finding and learning about love. The emperor was afraid of love while the mc was very new to the feeling of being loved. The image I have of the emperor is a kid that is giddy about his first love, fr.
I don't understand with manhwa these days, like, why do they need to add some kind of rape stuff when it was just fine for this to be shonen ai. ಠ︵ಠ
