am I the only one who likes the empress? she's actively trying to be better and she's literally better than 90% parents in manhwas. she's exactly the same as those villainess stories that went back in time to fix the damage they've done but somehow yall liked those fl and not this one. Everything that she has done until now is to prevent her and lyrica's death in the future even though it's true that the empress lacks communication with her daughter. Some of you might said that lyrica doesn't need wealth or something but you can't deny that her live is 1000x times after they got into the royal family. you would hate the empress more if they continue to live in poverty.
