im so damn excited for the future chs (i went thru the raws already). the way the MC approaches the situation is so interesting and waaaay more satisfying lmao
nice. the play part reminds of something similar that happened in a cdrama called yanxi palace. loved the scheming fml in that drama and this fml is becoming a favorite as well.
Yea that's something truly annoying about the male mindset in those days (actually in hindsight there are probably men who still think like that [women too of course but since we're talking about this manga we'll stick to men]. Them having many wives yet gets jealous if one of them gets a male friend.
The male lead in "My Bad boy Prince"- Webcomics is a typical example. Gawd I wish I could have beaten him up multiple times.
It's still very much a thing, all over the world. Even in the USA, there are "purity balls" where fathers basically show off their (they hope) virgin daughters to each other and make huge deals about the girls promising to not have sex until they get married, but none of them care if their sons sleep with every available woman.
@Asbolus It is unthinkable and is a big taboo for a married woman to have a lover in both ancient and modern days. In the old days, men can have many wives but when the wife has a male lover, both of them will be beaten to death or got drown in the river. It is a sin that is punished by death.
Well, I personally hate polyamorous relationship to the core and I detest all men and women that has an affair.
When hearing the poem story I had a big smile on my face going from ear to ear "Ooooh goood, goood, plant the seed of doubt deeper and deeper inside his souls so that it can get the appropriate nourishment and grow into a beautiful flower of despair"
