I know it sounds weird, but I have a feeling MC’s sister (the blonde woman) will end up with the ML’s secretary (the glasses guy). The author just keeps giving us hints about them. Yeah, I know MC’s sister is an evil woman, but I bet the story will later reveal that she’s actually a good person who was mistreated by her ex-boyfriend, which is why she abandoned her son. Then the ML’s secretary will love her for who she is

You're wrong... Hayoung (Naeun/MC's sister) didn't end up like that. She ended up...
... in Spain as a wilderness reporter who only shows up 30 seconds in the news program she's in. After she spread that she was Kangwoo's girlfriend, Myeongseong Media (Kangwoo's family's company) and him sought who the fuck spread that and yeah, it was Hayoung.
The company and Kangwoo announced that the rumors are all lies and because Hayoung didn't deny the rumors at all and instead spread it more, the companies who signed up with her knowing she's related to the Myeongseong Media pulled her out from the shows she's in and was asking her to pay the compensation fee for tarnishing their company's reputation... which amounts to 1.2 billion korean won (abt 750k USD).
So she went to Kangwoo saying, "I'm Jiho's biological mother." thinking Kangwoo liked Naeun because she has a kid and if she's Jiho's "real" mother, he'll like her more but he was like, "Yeah? Sign this up and we will handle your compensation fees and you can work on Spain with this person ik but you can't come back in Korea for 20 years and you can't contact Naeun or Jiho in anyway unless you want things to escalate. No one must know abt this contract."
Then a charming spanish man came who's the director/president of the entertainment company in Spain she's going to and so she signed the contract without knowing that the place she's going to in Spain was on the outskirts of Spain.
She went there with her Mom and they're struggling real hard. When the news of Naeun and Kangwoo getting married broke out, she can only get upset and cry... as her Mom (who came with her) was saying that she'll leave her behind to become the chaebol's in-law and Jiho's maternal grandmother. Hayoung kept saying that she can't live alone so her Mom shouldn't leave her alone but her Mom says, "Didn't you wanna leave me in Korea before? Now that I'm leaving, you don't want me to leave" but Hayoung kept saying she can't live alone.
So... Yeah...
Hey, since the k-drama is coming in about 2 months, I want to spoil you a little. Since there are 4 main characters, there are basically 4 POVs.
navier – empress
She’s the daughter of a noble family who was trained to become an empress since she was little. She studied and worked so hard to become the perfect empress, and she loved the emperor dearly since they were young. But then the emperor cheated on her with another woman. At first, the story shows how unfairly she was treated. She was a good empress, but was simply thrown away because the emperor loved another woman. Eventually, she decided to leave her country, married another man in another country, had children, and got her happy ending. Her story is really sad because she sacrificed herself to become a perfect empress, only to be thrown away by her own people because the emperor loved someone else.
sovieshu – emperor
He’s a bastard, and the story clearly shows him cheating on his wife with a younger woman and getting her pregnant, then telling his empress to accept it. But later in the story, it’s revealed that the emperor and empress never had children even though they had been married for years. He actually loved navier too, since they were children. But then he found out that when he was young, he had given navier a poison that made her infertile. He knew she couldn’t have children, but he still loved her and didn’t want to abandon her just because she was infertile. So he came up with a plan to have a child with another woman who was a former slave, take the baby, and claim that the child was his and navier’s. And this is where everything went terribly wrong.
rashta – former slave
She wasn’t born a slave. She was just the daughter of a poor gambler who eventually sold her into slavery when she was young. She was just an ordinary girl who happened to be pretty. The son of her master fell in love with her, and they had a child together, but he abandoned the baby and tried to kill rashta, so she ran away. Well, you could say she’s an opportunist, but considering how she had lived her whole life struggling, it’s understandable why she grabbed the opportunity when an emperor fell in love with her. She became his mistress, and this is what eventually made her a bad person. She was also foolish and kept provoking the empress, which eventually contributed to her own downfall. Yeah, some people feel sorry for her because her life was basically miserable from the beginning.
heinrey – prince from another country
He’s a prince who falls in love with the empress. He seduces her and takes the opportunity when her heart is already broken, eventually taking her as his wife. He later becomes a king and then an emperor, and they have children and a happy ending.
So yeah, this is why I hate it when an author gives characters POVs like this. It makes people confused. Like, if you want to make bad people like the emperor and rashta, just make them bad until the end. But no, the author instead shows us their sides and gives them tragic backstories, which makes readers who have been reading this for years and have hated rashta and the emperor suddenly feel confused and even sorry for them.
He left her, feeling sad because Lily didn’t recognize him. But Lily ran after him all the way outside. She was crying, angry, and hitting him while saying that her dad didn’t love her anymore because she had grown up and wasn’t a baby anymore. He noticed that Lily’s hands were hurting from hitting him. Then he showed her the words he had written earlier in human language. The message made Lily cry even harder because it said, “I’m sorry. I miss you. Please don’t be in pain.” Then he started crying too. Some time later, it showed that Lily was still staying at the kindergarten, but he sent her a set of clothes that had the same color as his body, which made Lily very happy.
It’s so sad because they had to part ways








I want to hug Damian too! He looks so smol, like a baby in that outfit
