I live for big fat redemption arcs and guess this story will turn to one too like in BJ Alex! Not gonna talk down how toxic and fucked up this all is, but I really don't hate the ML as much as I thought I would from the comments.
I hate the "conclusion" of some other BL where there was literally no redemption at all and the ML's just got away with all (and even more fucked up stuff) while not improving themselves one bit. But this author at least got it perfect with BJ Alex so I have high hopes for this story too and actually enjoy it with this thought in mind!
The whole "but I can change him" trope is super toxic in real life, but some people really enjoy media were the wish of someone doing a 180 is being fulfilled.
BUT, I'm only at chapter 25 so I can only talk about up to that chapter. I'm out of here too if it gets too hard to bear whatever happens between the two of them.
It would be another thing if the concubines really were in love with the king. But all of this just feels obligatory and not out of real feelings. It still just shows how damn hard it is for them to be woman with their constrained duties in life. Also said, I really like all of the concubines and believe that they will help Paulina with further future character development. And pls don't hate on Lucius, his love right now is one-sided and he also has duties to fulfill.
I agree, though I have to say it gave me a lot of shock and kind off dissapointed. But I am also well aware that there life isn't easy. I needed to give myself a bit of self confort for a second because it's sad to see Lucious will be a father to another woman. But we all know Paul can't give birth. Life isn't easy, and I know I was wrong to be dissapointed. I hope all the conbucines, Lucious and Paul get the happiness they deserve. They are all good people so I hope for the best.
I've been waiting since October before reading again and checked the comments every single time a new chapter appeared, if something happened between the two... Seems like I'll get diabetes when I binge all of that sweetness and wholesomeness in one go (⊙…⊙ ) And as it seems there hasn't even happened that much between the two of them!
I'll still wait for a confession or a kiss before I start it again~ In that time I just continue suffering while reading all of your comments so see you all next chapter┗( T﹏T )┛
But I'm kind of sad we didn't get to see the reunion after 2 years
