Why are the reviews for this so bad? The story starts from an affair but it progresses well. Its true to the novel.

The empress stands tall and firm making rational decisions compared to her cheating husband (yes cheating since he brought in a concubine without his empress' permission so therefore, an affair. It should be a mutual agreement on both parties since she is his spouse).

She eventually meets Heinrey who actually genuinely sees her for who she is, a strong woman whose smart, beautiful, rational, a good ruler, and would make a good loyal lover (compared to her trash husband)

Sovieshu is just a narcistic man ... with too much pride which actually leads to the deterioration of his relationship with Navier. Im sure everyone will hate him so Im not even going to spend time talking about him. Just know hes trash and nothing redeems him.

The story is frustrating but great! Its literally one of the best historical royal stories out there

Story:
I just can't put my finger on what the author wants. This whole story is just so frustrating that I'm wondering whether it'll be the start of a theme for masochists exclusively. In the pro-prologue you see the protagonist striving but then you get like around 90 ch of her suffering??? The author can't write anything else besides that for 90 chapters. And it's not even a dark psychological story! It's bright, bright but depressing. It doesn't make sense. (edit: I can't possibly consider this angst since there's nothing to choose between. There's only aimless suffering).

And the reasons for the protagonist's suffering are so weak ... in the sense that the author tries too hard to force suffering on her. First, she can't communicate. Our empress who excels in all areas can't communicate with her husband to tell him what he's doing wrong and just expect him to know it himself (which he should, but if he doesn't at least try and explain. You have to put up with him for the rest of your life (she didn't know she would remarry then)).

Now I get that communication isn't always easy so I'll let that slide. But why in the world is the husband, a whole ass emperor, so stupid as not the know that it's obvious that his wife won't like the concubine??? And he expects his wife to organise everything for his concubine????? Let's just suppose his concubine is a sweetheart (which is also what he thinks), it's still perfectly logical that his wife will still dislike her right? His stupidity as a normal man doesn't make sense, let alone as the emperor. Where's his education?

Now the only logical character is the goddamn concubine Trastha. Despite f*cking hating her, I'd rather read the story from her perspective cause that girl is smart. Just imagine what it's like for one of the most hateable characters to be the most realistic and understandable.

Art:
The art is sooooo stunning. The protagonist is so pretty, It definitely helped the story. Too bad the story didn't help the art.

no, don't get me wrong for putting a 4 in this manhwa - it's good, but.. there's a lot of 'but'. to be fair, there's a lot of loop in this story.. like you feel so suffocating that it always the same feeling from before because this bitj rashta and that bastard sovieshu is so annoying, like to the point I would always put my middle finger up when you see this character, like their topic of debate is super duper bullshit, they always put the blame on our female lead yoo - and from chapter one till around ch 80 - you will just ... wait for the moment of divorce scene and then our queen will get remarried..

oh ya, if you feel I throw a lot of spoiler in my review, noo.. this is what it is. the synopsis and the story development is narrow, but it's ok because this manhwa will bring you into the female lead perspective a lot

yea... so what I mean is.. this got a good story if you like a mistress and wife conflict or affair storytelling. like, it's fair..

but anyway, if you don't like some topic that keeps going around again and again - just don't read it - because It gotta make you underestimate this art.. and I think this manhwa is good to read when you read it once a week - not binge - you will get a high blood pressure. umm, yeah..

anyway.. for me, it's a good 4 - but.. yeah..it just. ugh, nevermind
