The obsession with "happy ending" can be sometimes unhealthy. Sometimes just leaving behind and moving forward is healthier than "forgive and happy together". Mental health was so underrated before, but not anymore these days. It’s at times more important than physical health.
So dear author, please don't promote unnecessary happy ending, yes? (︶︿︶)
It’s painful I know! But you gotta understand "the resentment" is from when he was the child and towards "the god". Because the God is prince himself, who also promised him to protect but neither forms (human or god) were there to protect him when he was literally in utter despair of loss and sorrow.
So, do the math or re-read the chapters, yeah?
Thank heavens for your comment
Now I know not to read any further to not get triggered
It's interesting how many ppl read the whole thing and saw how many severe hardship Doram suffered and can not understand why he feels resentful and angry.
Actually I don't think Doram knows that his house was proclaimed as traitors as emperor punishment onto the prince
I'd go even further to say: little child opens up to a stranger to the point of welcoming him to a family ritual and is promised protection and help. Then his whole life being thrown into hell, for no reason or fault, and the promised help never received. Everyone he loved died and disgraced
Yeah, it's not fair, but pretty much anyone would feel that way
Plus now Doram has his current and past memories: so this man or god whtvr didn't come to his rescue when most needed, but later had a gall to force him into marriage and expected affection
So figure why would he be mad...










Though I understand Doram's emotions, for all the valid reasons, I wonder why Do-un dislike him as well
It’s pretty obvious it’s because his family was exterminated just because of meeting him, and this would be the reason the least prominent. The other reasons would be that after executing and declaring their clan a treacherous one, his older brother was made into a slave, and after that he was brought as “crown princess” to the palace to marry the man whose father ordered the extermination of his kin; and to top it all off, his older brother died and was brought back to life in a dangerous way solely because he was the crown princess… I would be even more pissed off if I were his sibling, tbh (let’s also not forget, Hyo lied about his identity —which made sense ofc—, only to have little Doram looking for whom he thought he was and getting arrested and traded as a slave)
True, and low key hoping that us not something sinister.
Like weird brother relationship?? I SURE HOPE NOT (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yes, I know those plausible reasons. The very reasons Doram have had his emotions tangled. What I implied is that, Do-un experiences and understanding of those deeds aren't (or sort of shouldn't be) nearly apparent as Doram, coz he was not involved or aware of all those hopes and disappointments. Hence, I understand he would not "like much" the prince and actually understand better logically than Doram. So for him to be this hostile...is making me worried
