Hua Cheng's Topics (42)

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

Whatever the reason, we don’t care. Such a letdown

Dropping or marinating?

Oh HELLL NOOO

So we all hate Shuraka now right? Im totally on....

PS. Im sure with your anger issues (only in this kind of situations of course) you did not make it through full chapter so just marinate it. I will keep you updated and let you know if its worth to go back to it.

Hua Cheng with the passionate bitterness calling out the beloved's emotional betrayal and injustice. I know that's right.

Agreed

One more thing: stop fucking calling him “BELOVED.” It’s disgusting

Sweetheart, what are we gonna do now?
We had soooo high hopes for this one. I think the only way for us to forgive him is if it’s revealed that all these concubines are hidden assassins, especially trained and chosen to protect his queen.

Marinating it. Gojo let me know too when its time to come back here(or if......)

Now that you put it into more perspective. Yeahhh...Shuraka suddenly showed up and called Tei "beloved" straight out the gate...ehmmmmm, this is moving too soon.

Tei may have allowed such term to be used previously as Shuraka was just a kid, or as an understanding on the cultural/political setting as the bride...but he got kicked out of said kingdom, assumed he was thrown away and stripped out of said title and reverence; therefore, it might be an emotional trip or subconscious emotional discomfort to be suddenly called "beloved" now. No explanation, no conversation on what happened, not even the servants might give him a clue on what truly happened. So...to try to act all lovey dovey like nothing happened and pretend to go back to the good old days when...you are - from a harsher point of view- a complete foreign grown ass man. To be called "beloved" now by said person; who might resemble that child a little but has fully grown to bear the duty of a king/padisha alongside governing such powerful and rich kingdom -with previous assassinations for the throne and your sudden switch on personality during that horse-carriage ride to Arnata. That fleeting memory is gone now.

Being called "beloved" when they both have been apart for more than 10 years and never had that kind of "full groom and bride ethereal and firm companionship and passion forever with whimsical romantic love" in the first place might feel too overbearing or even unsettling as - from Tei's perception- this has been settled as a political marriage in the first place when the terms were agreed on; besides, Tei would not be here in the first place if he did not offer himself up to avoid the Leracal princess' hand to be given to Arnata. Would Shuraka's unfathomable love intensity been the same for the princess if Tei did not intervene? What makes Tei special for Shuraka then? Or was this all just a mere coincidence and any candidate would have been fit and given that same devotion from Shuraka's heart, regardless of who that was? oh mah heart.

damn why would he do that

He’s an idiot. I don’t want betrayal. I don’t want wandering hearts or love that bends at the first temptation. I crave a story that is soft yet obsessive. Where uke would rather die than betray his lover, emotionally or physically, and seme burns with the same unwavering devotion. Let them be possessive. Let them be intense. Let them have their madness and impossible preferences. But no matter what, they choose each other. They fight for each other. I’m exhausted by characters who crumble so easily. I want loyalty that feels absolute.

Worded this perfectly. Ugh I’m literally just going to skip the chap where it happens bc it’s going to piss me right off

That's not true

SPOILER:












The uke falls asleep before anything happens. And he did that because he was hurt. When the top wanted to use his wish the uke though he was going to ask him out, but the top asked him to kill him (top wants to die and be killed by someone). Top wanted to leave a strong mark on someone before dying, while uke wanted the both of them to be together. Of course uke is hurt to realize top doesn't want to be with him, and just wanted to traumatize him before dying. That's why he accepts the ex for a moment. But in the end nothing happens

For me, it’s still absolutely not. Uke with zero self-respect who claims he wants to be with seme, yet almost crawls back into bed with an ex who treated him like garbage? That’s pathetic. What is wrong with people like that?” ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

They were not a couple, seme told him he will abandon him, and leave him with a trauma for the rest of his life. Uke is hurt and is looking for anything to not be alone forever. People here accept rape, torture, sex with underage kid, but if the uke who's not even dating the seme does anything with someone else, that's too far...

Oh, for the love of God. Whenever I see comments like this, I can’t help but think some people are projecting their own issues. Let’s set the awful seme aside for a moment. What kind of mindset makes someone run back to a person who treated them like shit......especially when there aren’t even any feelings left?

I can understand people enduring a lot from someone they genuinely love. Emotions make people tolerate things they shouldn’t. But going back to an old swamp when you’re already stuck in a new one? That’s just self-destruction. And honestly, people who keep making those choices shouldn’t be surprised if they stay miserable.

So it’s exactly like Hua Cheng said. He ‘sleeps’ with his ex (〜￣△￣)〜. I’m not going to continue this. I’ve had enough of this kind of nonsense.

People seriously need to grow a backbone

What a weird comment, I am explaining what happened in a fictional story, I am not the one writing the story. Contact the author or read something else, I'm not responsible of how you feel about a story. Why would you lose your shit for something fictional, drink some tee, cry a bit and move on

It’s completely normal to “lose your shit” over something fictional. Stories are meant to make you feel something. If I read without emotions, then what’s even the point of reading? Fiction works because we connect to it, get frustrated, get angry, get attached. That doesn’t mean someone can’t separate fiction from reality. It just means Im engaged.

And just because some people are okay with certain messed-up tropes doesn’t mean everyone has to lower their standards. I’m not going to accept/tolerate a certain kind of behavior just because “worse things exist.” That’s not how it works. Everyone has their own standards or self-respect about what they can tolerate or romanticize in a story.

This is an understandable point of view and I actually agree with some of your other points in replies, but imo this is good writing. Gaeseok has a lot of issues, so we can’t treat his character like a rational human being. We know his mental state, he is extremely lonely and desperate to not be alone, even if that means going back to someone that makes him feel awful. These things actually happen, and I think Gaeseok’s character is someone who could easily exist in real life.

Dude I'm telling what is going to happen in a story and because you don't like the story you decide to project your frustration onto me. I don't care what's your standards of reading, I never even said I agreed with the uke's decision, I was explaining why it happened. You need to control yourself, I'm not a punching bag for your frustration. If you can't handle reading manga, don't read them.

Oh wow "flo", I think you’re taking this way too personally. “Punching bag”? It’s just a comment under manga. When you post a comment publicly, you have to be ready for replies that might not be to your liking.
To be honest, his reply sounded pretty harsh but not offensive to anyone in particular(maybe uke.....and people with issues). He was just sharing a different perspective. He didn’t say you think something wrong or that you did something bad. It wasn’t a personal attack. It was a comment about the story.
You’re the one who wrote your reply in a way that can come off as offensive("your standards", "your frustration""control yourself"), like the other person should change their mind. Opinions can differ. Not everyone has to see the story the same way you do

do you guys havre raws?

Real

Ofc hua cheng would say that XD

Lol!!

My thoughts exactly… and now he's gonna take him to the same bed where he slept with so many others.....at one time.......when uke was there. This is what I call indecent (╬￣皿￣)凸

Oh, the absolute delight of meeting a bunch of people your partner has already slept with. And even if he swears those days are behind him, his friends and acquaintances will be there to fondly remind you both of all his unforgettable ‘achievements.

And of course, I’m just waiting for people to chime in with, ‘Well, they’re not in a relationship yet, so there’s nothing wrong here.’ Right — because emotional damage has a start date, apparently. The truth is, it is wrong. If you end up in a relationship after that kind of behavior, one person always ends up carrying the humiliation.

There’s something to be said for basic decency. Sleeping around might seem like just ‘harmless fun’ at the time, but the past doesn’t magically disappear the moment someone decides to settle down. When your history walks into the room before you do — in the form of awkward introductions, knowing glances, or shared memories with half the people at the party — it does affect the relationship. Not because of insecurity, but because dignity and self-respect still mean something.

And wait for ppl to chime in about 'purity culture' and pointing out 'prudes'.

I dont get why ppl think it's alright to sleep around. I think that's being animalistic with no self control. Idc how harsh that sounds. I prefer a sincere relationship and having a single person to sincerely love. If I don't then I'd rather remain celibate.

i saw spoilers and you’re right

But tbh why should readers feel sorry for the older brother.. as an adult figure he brought into Gunmu MC into the fold which was extremely dangerous and he often bring him a lot of a stunt queen or the getaway car..

Essentially leaving him to his devices so like what did he think would happen when a young teenager is in those situations.. kinda showed how he saw him as a means to an end not a real brother
