A good story esp how they handled her not being the biological daughter. Also how Philomel keeps her boundaries with the emperor even though their relationship can be fixed, it does feel rather bittersweet. But big on making her OWN choices and I’m glad ellenscia is still respected throughout because it’s literally her body that gotten taken over. And Leguin being a better father,,,,even if he doesn’t show affection, his actions shined and still made an effort compared to the emperor who showed his affection differently but was bound by poltics.
It’s a decent read. It’s different from some romfan stories I’ve read but this did have potential imo. However they did drag out with the dragon race being involved. I did particularly liked Hontein characterization because it’s not often you have a puppeteer mc and her product. This story was going somewhere and I’m glad she’s still had boundaries with her family that did abandon her










Very dramatic almost like a makjang k drama! But enjoyable and I actually couldn’t put it down because how messy it was. This type of triangle was quite fun! It’s not often you see a MC who’s promiscuous but who’s very upfront about it. The twist was rlly a surprise that came out of the left field.

it makes sense why he chose the ML bc Tae-Han is fixated more on heesos himself than ML who noticed those differences. I do like the fact that there’s hope for Tae Han in the future with someone else which really strengthens the whole it’s truly the for the personality and that was the tragic aspect behing Taehan and Heeso because it rlly just could’ve been but it was better that dongshik was in his place.
ALSO dongshiks promiscuous nature is due to his closeted queerness as a beta man so he really took the chance to dip into two!
