The Careful Empress - Ch. 16

Yeah. I hope this doesn't turn out to a shitty typical Korean style romance, where they always forgive the piece of trash male lead. I hope 100% the emperor is NOT the male lead, and that she DOES kill him on the wedding night. Because if there is stupid plot contrivance where he survives, and we have to read through another season of trying to kill the emperor, so help me god, I will drop this.

Mind you, I did not come for dumb ass romance plot like this. I literally read this because the first chapter was about a dragon reincarnating as a little girl and was going to have happy fun times, until what I assume it turned into a crappy cliche.

I'm actually pissed off that after chapter 1/2, where what I hoped would be slice of life romance adventures with a FEMALE dragon turned loli, but instead got a revenge story with one of the dumbest plot setups, where, since it is korean, the piece of trash emperor is the male lead, the MC forgives him for killing her only friend and her family, and they end up together. No one, in their right mind, would ever do that.

Please don’t tell me the red hair guy is the
male lead, there is no redemption arc that’ll make me route for him.
The Female lead is smarter than that , I hope 😅

her letting the emperor live only to suffer would be glorious

@hedgemoney I think the cook is likely the main Male lead.

Ngl all of his for a kiss sounds excessive... she's spend years at the castle and not even once she thought that she would have to consummate the marriage with him? I know this is the murder of her parents but still this reaction just makes her, that should have hundreds of years of experience as an all powerful dragon, look dumb.

I don’t care if the story is cut short, hurry up and kill the red guy.

@hedgemoney Yo, a bit of patience please! It's highly unlikely that this will have Azar as the ML — my guy is over here explicitly wishing for death and even if they drag that out, I really don't see that choice being driven by romance. At best they feel like there's still a story to be told with him. As for the wedding, I doubt that our MC will be open to romance by then either. Our girl still can't fully wrap her head around sex or romance, so those aren't going to be factors for a while. Things will be fine!

I was caught off guard by that

@your2dwaifu I'm into it. If he wants to die so bad, why give it to him? Just bury him somewhere and forget about him.

Thank you for the translation work! I can't wait to read more!

 

[WeeabooReview]

I am happy everyone is so keen to kill this guy, lmao. Literally no one is in his corner and that's fair.

Thanks for the update!

Okay, let me just say...so many badash women! The clever empress, the swordsmaster queen, and now a blacksmith who admires knights! Love it so much!
