Okay fair. Still don't like her though. I understand she doesn't want to go back to being a slave but she honestly could've done better in my opinion. Cheating is just a personal thing to me that I can never forgive no matter the circumstances. Both are trash in my eyes for doing it. Her for acting as if what she's doing isn't shameful in front of the empress (she literally has never shown any regret for what she has done) and him for neglecting his wife and being an absolute dickhead (there's more but honestly I think it's pretty clear why his is the worst).
Also the Empress is still human. Humans feel emotion and are sometimes driven by said emotions. No matter how cold or calculating someone is, unless they are literally incapable of feeling emotion, they will be swept by their emotions. Especially in a situation of broken trust and rejection. I don't see it as out of character for her. We all have things that we do that don't necessarily make any "logical" sense and I think it's mostly out of pride. She has too much pride to deal with a measly concubine. It isn't logical but it makes sense because people be like that.
Yeah the Emperor is still the trahiest, ain't gonna argue there. But yeah good drama right there. Love the trope to bits.
