No worries! Better late than never! 😂 Thanks for the explanation, although you’re right, I don’t really need it at this point, since I’ve read a lot farther on and figured it out.
What’s with so many of these stories having the guy that’s supposedly “in love” having sex with someone other than who he “loves”? And it’s not like they aren’t in contact with the other either.
So Bakin loves the emperor, the emperor loves Gento, and Gento loves... Bakin?? And Gento was mad that Bakin loved the emperor so he seduced the emperor and made him a bit of an M??
Yeah, I’m betting it’s the old, “I’m in love with you but I’m too scared to tell you so I’ll make you hate me by pushing you away” trope. And now the idiot still can’t process his own feelings so he acts like a tsundere.
Again, glad the misunderstanding got cleared but for real, how can he expect Chen Yu to trust him? He doesn’t explain shit to Chen Yu either. Plus the way he tortured Chen Yu before cannot be erased so easily.
Even though the misunderstandings got cleared up I’m still pissed that he let Chen Yu suffer through that humiliation! You just made him your consort yet you allowed his clothes to be torn off and to be manhandled by those servants! 😡
