I guess I'll have to read several chapters again to remember exactly what's happening. I've been confused since the emperor stopped Yeon from leaving. I think he murdered a bunch of innocent servants? Then suddenly Yeon is drugged and tries to kill himself? Then he is basically, what, he lost his memory? He's confused about who he is? And this...who drugged him? I'm seriously totally lost.
After stabbing his sister he probably thought it was the only way to keep him calm and stop him from fighting with all the constant attacks he was facing from people trying to kill him after he became emperor. Then he freaked out when he tried to kill himself in his drugged state and sent him back to his family.
I think that weird trippy drugged out phase was a reaction to an aphrodisiac that the emperor probably forced on him or snuck in his drink. Remember he went off the rails at the brothel? That was the same drug, he just trips balls when he takes it.
I basically read this for the laughs at this point because it's just so ridiculous every week.
See, I’m actually waiting for some good shit to happen! Like I love historical, just sitting here after every chapter like oh my God, I could write a better one. If only I knew how to write or draw! I really wish they would’ve finished that scene though. Because it looks super uncomfortable, and they just skipped past it into a dream sequence.
This is disturbing. The heck? Sheng is an irredeemable jackass. I skipped through so many chapters hoping it would get better. It doesn't. Nian finally leaves, I 'm glad for that, and his success. But no way in heck does Sheng deserve him. Kick the butt to the curb and move on!
