I just finished this manhwa thinking that its one of the cutest, healthiest, most realistic romances that I've read and I really enjoyed it, only to open these comments to see people hating on it for the dumbest reasons??? Like you hate this cause they're "ugly"?? Sorry the FL isn't bone thin like the constant narrative that gets played, but she was realistic, and that was something I really appreciate but I guess some people REEALLY only care about looks huh...










If the authority to appoint the emperor would fall to the empress following the death of the emperor, im curious as to why she didnt kill him sooner? Why did she wait so long i wonder?
Astana was probably too young to be emperor. He’s also dumb and lazy and it’s easier to oust a young, stupid, irresponsible king than an adult one. And she probably has more control as empress than as mother of an emperor. Especially because the current emperor is useless and kinda just lets things happen so the empress gets away with a lot of the evil shit she’s been doing.
iirc there was also a chapter where a grown-up Astana began to answer back to the empress so maybe she has trust issues with him now and if he becomes king, she thinks she won’t be as powerful as before.
Orrr it could be as simple as: Before, the emperor was more useful alive. Now, he’s more useful dead.
