How will he redeem himself like this?
Now there's no going back, how will they be happy after this?
Or, oh, I wish the king would tell the truth so they could live happily ever after with their daughter.
But I ask, when did this manhwa ever imply a commitment to happiness?
To me, this is a dark psychological romance where the author explores the limits of sanity in an oppressive historical period. There's no happy ending or redemption, just a tragic life story.



I'm honestly kind of disturbed by how many readers let themselves be fooled by Taeseo's pretty face. The man was showing predatory behavior from the beginning, but apparently as long as he was attractive and the scenes looked romantic, people were willing to call him a green flag
Guilty, but in my defense I must say that I've read such fucked up shit that this was being mild at best so the twist seemed to come out of nowhere. I guess the trees didn't let me see the forest lol
I would call him many things but pretty is not one adjective i wouldve ever used lol just angry and sinister all the time
Right since the 2 episodes you can tell this man was a huge black flag nd plus when the Mc said he like him the ML just want to have s*x that’s all
