This is actually quite a believable dilemma imo, which sucks, because now I can’t be upset about stupid miscommunication.
Even if Tei was an amazing communicator, what is he supposed to even ask??
“Hey Shuraka, I’m jealous you slept with other people in your harem, especially the one dude in there, get rid of them please”?
He can’t do that because 1. He doesn’t fully believe Shuraka is as in love with him as he claims and 2. He knows that the ruler of Arnata traditionally has a harem and sleeps with multiple concubines in addition to his queen. He’d never challenge established traditions and rules like that (yet at least lol)
On Shuraka’s end it seems like this situation is giving bad parallels to his mom’s relationship with his dad and even him, so he’s going down the “omg my spouse is here reluctantly, I’m just like my dad route”, and if he believes that, there’s no way he’d try to talk it out with Tei who supposedly hates his guts.
Does it suck to watch? Yes. Could it realistically happen in this setting? Also yes! If only they had mind reading powers rip.
The first route I would take is the fact he built a fucking harem and I wasn’t even allowed in the fucking country and I’m his boo thang! I would have slaughtered them all and tossed the heads at him in anger going grrrrr
These are literally my thoughts exactly! Even if Shuraka’s goal in sleeping with the concubine was entirely so he didn’t hurt Tei the next time, it’s still fucked up. They’re both stuck in the cycle of their own upbringing and trauma. We’d better buckle up for a long and bumpy ride.
I didn’t see that man bring no oil into the room. And if he did instruct him, he should’ve said that I was instructing your husband last night.
Guys is it not clear that Yohan cares about Euntae and Hayan dating because he’s unhealthily obsessed with her and what she does ?? He wants to control her and is angry about any part of her world that doesn’t revolve around him. It’s not love, it’s like the obsession a stalker has with an idol.
How did my man Yohan know that eating a pure blood’s heart will give him the same powers ? Was it explained and I missed it?? Because it doesn’t seem like the kind of information that you’d get just floating around.
At this point it’s like the author is doing this for shits and giggles. What is the plot even? It’s been downhill from when Ria started talking fluently but this is just terrible. You’re telling me that Caitel, the freaking blood emperor who got rid of his whole ass family by burning and selling them off couldn’t find this one runaway mfer for 18 years of Ria growing up?? Not even with the help of Mr Iron Chancellor and Black Knight??
Not to mention our actual protagonist is dumb as shit. She’s reincarnated and mentally an adult right?? Why is she so stupid then? For the sake of exposition?? That’s so unnecessary and sad, we as readers don’t need to be spoon fed info like that! Half the fun of a story is swapping theories and discussion about ambiguous stuff which you can’t do if you are given EVERYTHING. She also is basically useless, I mean what’s her point beyond white lotus who everyone loves and is healed by simply seeing once?
And what’s with this random romance?? There was no buildup beyond childhood friend and even that’s stretching it. These kids met what, once?? There’s no logical reason as to why they’re so gaga over Ria except plot and it’s not fun.
Tl:dr- this sucks and I’m leaving
Sorry for rambling but it’s just so sad for me to see all the potential this series has just gone with the wind. “I am a child of this house” has a slightly similar story to this and it’s proof that this could be great but NO.
I guess it’s not 100% her fault because she was written this way but come ON. What a dumb kid! The demon fellow is clearly a lying manipulative jerk and she still sticks up for him! And even went against the principles of her sect! Plus if she’s so righteous and all why did she still break her promise to her beloved master?? Looks like she’s one of those “conveniently righteous” FLs....all for misplaced kindness and all that bs as long as it suits her whims and fancies
She's so indecisive. She can't choose one and wants both. She's clearly that annying b*tch that wants to seem like she is an angel and accepts every single person but she's just digging a her own damn grave.
There honestly is no need to be so terrible to that poor queen. It doesn’t seem like it was ever her choice to gain that title, but the king, who’s an idiot (?) treats her like trash anyway. And it looks like his boyfriend is being vindictive just because he can (incites the king to slowly take away all of the queen’s freedom). In fact he’s probably the father of the kid seeing as the child has blond hair! Plus if this story follows the original novel route queen dies an unfair death and gets no revenge?? Really hoping that doesn’t happen now too because I’ll probably have an anger-induced aneurysm otherwise
Don’t trust everyone so easily Leslie ;-;
I know Amroa was one of the only people who showed kindness to her but her behaviour was suspicious even if we hadn’t known that Speradon’t was up to something...and she even dropped a hint when they ran into each other...
is it really that suspicious? her story isn't that bad, it is believable. and Leslie is 12, just a child. of course, she will believe someone that was nice to her and was kick out cause of her.
Does anyone happen to have a link to the novel so I can read it?? I really really want to, but all the links I found are dead :(
You can find it at novel updates under the name "If you devour poison". You need to create an account to be able to read.
GOD BLESS YOU SIS VIRTUAL HUG TO YOUUUU
