I don't think the author or the translator knows what a dowry is.... it's what the family pays the future husband for marrying the woman, not what they get paid..... parents provided a dowry to the future husbands to help fund their daughters future lives. "acting like a lady to raise the dowry" makes no sense, the family pays the dowry to the future husband so her standing wouldn't change anything to what the family can afford to pay. Anyway, little information dump for chapter 32 that kind of annoyed me.
Enjoying it so far but did guess the situation as soon as he asked "are you so afraid of the phantom"
Interested to see where it goes from here. Just had to vent about the dowry thing....
Am I too old to understand why every hates the term sigma? The 18th letter of the Greek alphabet.... like alpha and omega are the 1st and last of it... Where enigma means riddle and isn't a letter? So sigma makes more sense than enigma to be involved in abo worlds or am I way overthinking it?
Yeah I'm too old and not a tiktok user to make sense of this shit
I've read chapter 1 - why is she yelling at him over what his dad did? Why jumping to ok eff me? This is so weird... she's not even sad about her father just upset it's affected her life 'how could you do this to ME' I mean i guess she's unstable and is in an awful place but still it's weird. Especially since he's paid for you to not be a slave... at least hear him out? He was your fiancé? Weird. Maybe a pacing thing? I presume he's going to eff her now when he shouldn't but... we'll see. People saying g he's a rapist in the comments so I can see how this is going to go wrong.
Yeah I hadn't read more when I commented this, just chapter 1 and 1/2 of 2. No he's not married. I was just assuming! I also thought concubine meant mistress but it doesn't. Just means living together without being legally married. So socially ok but maybe odd since he doesn't have a wife yet. Not 100% sure of the historical rules
This is good. Well done mr joo. Doing the right thing. Maybe could have said thank you to Dan for everything, but I guess he didn't want to start talking in case anything slipped or he couldn't follow through. Letting him go is a big deal, it's a strong gesture.
Sad side being dan doesn't realise he's letting him go so he doesn't get hurt more and that he's fully regretful of all the shit he's put him through, and all he can do to attone is to let him go. Dan just thinks he doesn't care and is happy to see him gone.
I guess jk also thinks Dan wouldn't want to stay with him after everything. He's always been open about leaving when the time comes and not seeming upset about it.
Miscommunication all round but I do think this is a big gesture from jk, even if it's full extent isn't felt by Dan.









In what world are we so cautious of her because she's pregnant that you wont let her walk or undress and wash herself but you will throw her in to the sink to rub yourself on her? So uncomfortable for her! At times she looked like she was holding herself up out of it too? What a terrible idea for a sex scene. Also, why did they drain the bath to wash her? I skimmed the whole thing once the sink was involved, so stupid. But he got the bed for his hand job? Ridiculous!
As an aside, sex during pregnancy is fine unless specified otherwise by your dr/midwife. Best avoided in the first 12 weeks too.
that sink scene made me so anxious
