Almost dropped my phone at the level of ick I got from the 3rd prince getting all hornt over Mc getting mauled by that dog. Like wtf. Also the brother not doing his best to throw off the bitch cousin to try to save his sister when he keeps trying to say he cares is disappointing even though I know its being done to promote the ML.
So the king is an absolute nightmare overcome by generational greed, but for a story about caring I am surprised they essentially left an elderly man stripped of his memories, family, and livelihood to the streets. Like at that point just kill him. He won't know what he did wrong to end up in such a position, and will have no skills or connections to survive he becomes a burden to other people.
Just another aspect of this story that doesn't freaking work.
You get out of the brothel life, but can't be bothered to help uplift your fellow women? At least make sure there are laws so they get paid properly and can choose their own clients. Give them access to education and help put laws into place for their rights! Wtf? Also as a member of the judiciary court of that country I would not feel safe with a dipshit prince running things.
I went in knowing this was going to be a mess, but it truly was. Especially weak in the story which is a shame there was interesting points about the characters backstories that in a normal josei could have been expanded upon. But even for a brothel related story I have read better.
Oh wow maybe if I had given the woman I professed to love genuine love and affection and didn't seek to drag her name through the mud after helping to murder her so she could be my girl boss undead puppet girlfriend she might have wanted to be with me? Crazy. Honestly hope she ends his weird misguided self.











If you didn't get it officially confirmed as children then did it really mean anything? Like you didn't intervene to help her when her family collapsed and she was being abused by her aunt, uncle, and cousin. Like you are but a spoiled child who only remembers a toy once someone else discovers it years later.
