@cassandra827 That would be an excellent twist: put that supposed kind spirit of hers to the test. I'd love to see her tied in knots trying to save him. More props if this comes after she's already married to Dowun. How delightfully unsightly that would be. Lyon has had others point out how...

Lyon and Baek Han can get beheaded for all we care. That end is looking more likely if she keeps acting up and not considering her position and all the risks she's courting. Obviously the only thinking party in the dumpster fire that is their palace is Dowun. And for daring to know how to...

Good grief. I'd stop reading this, but I honestly need to see the ending. Haven't read a story so aggravating in a while, where the MC is wavering towards getting herself killed, ML 1 is dubious but probably the best option considering the political climate, and ML 2 is there for contrast and...

The lack of backstory on Dowun seems deliberate. It fuels raging mobs of Baek backers who are short sighted like Lyon, thinking the worst of someone who has yet to outright harm her. Of course, this sort of comment section brouhaha is good for viewership. Has there yet been an action taken...

Wow, with what people write here about Dowun, you begin to wonder why they're reading works that have a bit more character complexity than a Peppa Pig book. You don't have to like Dowun - his personality isn't for everyone's taste. It's not about who is more attractive either. Its about who...

I feel it is necessary to state here: Dowun is likely NOT in on the Jayang-as-puppet-for-Yang-Clan plan. That has his father written all over it. And his brother may be in it just to screw over both Dowun and Lyon. Also, finally some acknowledgement from Lyon that she's just as dubious as...

Now we can see the threads indicating Dowun is fighting to keep Lyon and himself safe on multiple fronts. I hope some of you can now see why he continually insists on Lyon not showing all her cards and feelings, as its his own policy, which has gotten them this far. Even those closest to you...

Lyon's got a lot of nerve trying to turn some of her decisions on Dowun. If she never wanted to have to deal with the myriad headaches and sleepless nights inherent with absolute power, she should've stayed in Damhwa Hall and passed away forgotten. Did she imagine sitting at the top would...

Funny, this comment section. Is there a reason that the grandmother wouldn't take in Jayang? Distant royal relatives are supposed to turn their backs on one another because it would serve the selfish MC's interests? I lol. A lot of people overlook that Lyon's spilled blood aplenty to get to...

Oh, this girl has zero respect. Bad enough she went out unsupervised, got stranded overnight with a man she's already shown favour and making Dowun worry... Now she's going to pawn the matching earring set that she shares with Dowun? On the day of their intent-to-marry public announcement...

F*cking Lyon. Empress of Bad Decisions. At this point I'm kinda hoping she gets knifed or something. Nothing fatal, but hopefully a brain-resetting kind of experience. What in the actual hell.

Okay. Quite a bit going on here. I feel that Dowun may not necessarily have romantic affection for Lyon, but at the very least, a feeling of care as one would have for a protégé. Considering how much he's invested in her success, to see her acting up now must be painful. A logical MC would...

At least he realised himself. I was wondering if he'd need someone to blandly point out that he's been overstepping his boundaries for ages now.

@sherenia You're one of the few people who even notice that she's playing dangerous games. It's all yay we ship x/y. Makes the comment section quite annoying. She'll get herself dethroned and Baek beheaded, among other unpleasant things for people in her inner circle. I understand that this...

I'm sorry. I'm just not feeling Baek Han. I'll protect you, eh? From nightmares? Or from intrigues? With what? More fool her for buying such a line. Well, all this would've been avoidable if Dowun was slightly more approachable. She wouldn't be looking for affection from this fella if Dowun...

She's really acting the fool right now. Aiming to spend private time with her guard, avoiding her fiancée, all under the watchful eyes of servants who are very easy to corrupt... Rumors carry more weight than she realises. Perhaps her late entry to the power game is handicapping her. Dowun...

Can Baek Han just screw out of here? Feelings? Really? I hate master and servant relationship tropes the most. A relationship between him and the Empress brings no benefits but a metric ton of problems; problems that extend past the value of his own head on a pike and could impact his entire...

Ugh. These two. /-_-\ What exactly was she expecting of him? Has Dowun ever shown himself to be the type to pull this sort of emotional blackmail on? Instead of focusing on securing her position, she's looking for romance from her chief political weapon, who established that such things are...

I get annoyed with Hong Lyon's behaviour, then I remember that she's probably still pretty young. Those emotional spasms still leave her open to behaviour that could affect her status poorly: Just wanted to be alone, ended up hanging out late with her male bodyguard in an isolated place. In a...

Dowun is problematic, agreed; but no one can deny that his tactics had results. You can prefer Baek Han all you like; he was nowhere to be found when Dowun put his neck and even his family on the line to drag her to the pinnacle for her own (and his) benefit, kicking and screaming if need be...
