i liked mary ellen at first but then the author ruined her character by making her boy crazy and honestly a bad friend. bcs wdym she immediately got with the guy who your ‘bsf’ keeps saying is a bad person?? like idk but as a friend if my absolute bsf says she doesn’t like someone i immediately don’t like them either, and the fact that she got mad at kaitlyn bcs she obviously didn’t support the relationship was so weird to me. And then they just shove it under the rug once aiden gets his character development?? ALSO the fact the aiden was flirting with the fl at first and then got with her bsf is weird to me too but idk it might just be me
i hate when they make the terrible ex husbands who we’re supposed to hate super attractive, like he’s shitty so just make him ugly, or at least not more attractive or on the same level as the ml. bcs like that ex husband of hers (not talking personality wise bcs he’s bad obvs) is like major eye candy the moles and messy black hair
atp i don’t care about that purple bitches backstory idc if she has a sad one or not i want her GONE like truly i get so mad anytime her nasty mf face invades my phone pixels, like dude id rather have the fl’s ex on my phone then this purple bitch bcs at least he doesn’t manipulate everyone around him just to put himself in a situation where he has control over the fl unlike this mf lopsided faced bitch who uses her celebrity status as a fucking weapon, can we PLEASE MOVE ON TO THE CUTEY HEART WARMING MOMENTS WITH FL AND ML I BEG OF YOU MY PHONE PIXELS AND MY EYES CANT TAKE THIS TORTURE ANYMORE









I actually hate the concept of concubines when the main characters have already met, bcs wdym you got with someone else after meeting the love of your life?? it feels like a cheating trope. and then all the angst and miscommunication that comes with it T-T i’m going to let this marinate until this whole miscommunication saga is over lolol
How do you think an emperor gain power and influence???
He still can do it without taking them as marriage partners ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
With what???? What part of the kingdom did he has? He is young, and his older brother has the eyes of arnata, promise of taking concubine is logically correct, even if a prince have a mine to share, it's not enough to make him an emperor when compared to someone who is obv older and wiser
Power and influence don’t come only from taking concubines. Alliances can be built through loyal generals, ministers, political strategy, and public support too.
And if he was already younger and weaker than his brother, then blindly promising concubines wouldn’t suddenly make him stronger it would just mean he’s depending on the same system instead of building real influence.
So yes, he could have done it without turning every alliance into a marriage
i totally get where you’re coming from, but with how this started with a ruler showing complete and utter devotion to his wife, it was completely out of the blue to suddenly say he has concubines. I was kind of expecting more along the route of the joseon era type stories where the emperor decides to break the norms and not have concubines bcs he’s so in love yk? but i’m excited to see how the author plays around this, but i’ll definitely have to wait until it’s all resolved. unresolved misunderstandings and cliffhangers kill me lolol :p
