Faye end game is still so weird because even in her own hypothetical Qiao Lin and Hesha are together and commoners which sounds fine and they probably be happy still. Wouldn't the play to cause discontent between the two in other ways like lies or cheating?

Still hating that bum ass prince Dana acting like he gives a shit about people but only helping out bigots making thier lives easier and no one else. But i have a feeling he's doomed by the narrative so eveything isn't bad
Thankfully Arnold exist proving allyship isn't dead or hard

Hesha and Qiao's crash outs is how i expected them to act so nothing unusual there. typical gay behavior from both sides "she's better off wintout me" and "she's something very special to me that I can't put a name to"

Thank you for your work!

Because to Faye, Hesha would lose everything else and Faye view those as more important than 'true love'
The luxury of noble life
Authority of being a noble
Any noble friends she had are unlikely to maintain contact, or at least not to the same degree.

Heck as commoner Hesha would then new to show deference to Faye, something that I imagine she feels elated just imagining.

Honestly pretty happy to see this back. (Not to mention that I had to Re-read the entire work to remember what's even going on.) Hope these girls get together soon.

 

[crimsondenmite]

Thank you for picking this up!
The MC here are likable unlike Hesha’s sister Faye and that red haired Vice President..

Yeah that was my thinking as well but issue lies with Hesha being with Qiao. If Faye wants Hesha to suffer and lose everything shouldn't that also include Qiao? Faye has to realize that Qiao could make Hesha happy. Because the only thing I could think of for Faye is that Hesha would be unhappy despite being with Qiao which seems shortsighted

Timing.
If she break up with Jolene right now then Hesha's dad would no longer have a reason to disown her (i.e. current status)

Another angle is that as long as she stay with Jolene, Hesha would likely tolerate remaining a commoner so that love is also a shackle keeping Hesha down.

This is one area where Faye differs from past Hesha.

• Faye has been conditioned to treat any conflict or comparison with Hesha as a zero-sum power game. She hates her sister for taking up space and not being good enough for her and the family. She'll do anything to get rid of Hesha, but she cares about power more than sadism. Jolene is irrelevant to her except as a tool against Hesha's position.
• Hesha was always more concerned with her self-esteem and survival than power. Past Hesha was savage to reinforce her worldview of herself as a noble compared to commoners, the way her father and sister view others as objects. She's very lucky to have snapped out of it but I wanna see her mean streak again.

Okay yeah i get that. Faye wants Hesha to be out of the picture and using whole gay angle as a way to achieve that. The end result of the gay scandal is irrelevant as long as Hesha is out of the family. I just can't shake this feeling that this angle is more for plot sake than Faye sake if you understand what I mean

I'm not sure if I know what you mean?

Faye is kinda an idiot, which for sure furthers the main plot. She's a brat at the Fuck Around stage, and going to Find Out. The only person willing and able to help her if (when) something goes wrong is a queer feminist with predatory lesbian vibes. My view is Faye is getting tangled in the main themes over time.

It's along the lines of Feya's action of saying the two are together only serves to help qiao and hesha relationship in the story and not hurt. I feel she could have gone a different route to accomplish much of the same end goal.

In others words she's too much of a wingman for my liking

Does it really count if she's unintentionally doing it? Anything positive coming out of Faye's shit-stirring will be in spite of it, not because.

Also, not sure how much of a viable route Faye had outside of this. Her outright lying would probably be caught quicker and backfire on her.

Yeah she can't do anything too evil since she probably get caught and a redemption arc is probably also coming. So the plan she had would both cause the most positive outcome without feeling too out of character since it's still outing at the end of the day

I didn't realize this was being translated again. Shepherds group are now my heroes, thank you. It's a very high quality translation too.

Re the story, Dana is not that bad to me. He's sheltered, but that's not his fault, given he's a prince and I think they are supposed to be teenagers. He's trying very hard to think about the people's welfare, but it's a type of intellectual activity to him. He fails to see the real impact of his actions, like causing problems for commoners or women fighting over him. But he 's actually just braindead about the level of social influence he has and how he can use it to help others; compared to early Hesha he is very kind.

If he never matures then he will keep being the 'sheltered Marxist intellectual' type saying they will 'get around' to other issues once the economic issues are taken care of. Then will keep having a bad impact on people, but I doubt that's where the story is going with him. It's more likely he ends up with Jolene's brother, not that I'd quite wager on that yet, but his lack of interest in women for non-intellectual reasons is notable given the type of story this is.

This series is actually fairly light hearted. I agree Faye will be redeemed too. She clearly admires her sister a lot, but her immaturity leads to her expressing it in roundabout ways. The similarities with Hesha (esp early/younger Hesha) are likely intentional, given they've got the same parents.

Awn

Also I dont think Faye realized living the peak cottagecore lesbian life with your wife is much much better than getting married to some guy you dont like and having to fill the nobility status quo

 

[Peechaya]

How can you hate your sister that much?
