I still can't get used to the fact that the emperor has concubines and I still can't understand why our mc is even trying to win back the emperor's heart.
I'm with everyone,,, and he sleeps with them all too,,, so i really just can't understand our mc's actions. with her memory loss as an excuse, she could just be indifferent with the emperor which is a total stranger to her
If we think about the periods in history where knowledge about the human body and its ailments were quite scarce or completely wrong, it makes sense to have several woman to secure a legacy. Imagine that in times like this, people died in the droves, and having several kids with just one woman would put her in risk of dying and if she died and left a bunch of kids to the man, he would probably not know what to do. This without saying about the amount of resources to live life decently and it's distributions which are much more equal today than what we like to think.
