The story is heavy on plot and ploys, but none of those are interesting. The characters aren't likable or engaging. The male lead just acts like a golden retriever which is ridiculous as an actual personality.

I see too much of the view points of the villains to be annoyed at their erratic unsympathetic behavior. What is the point of showing me so much of thoughtless and annoying behavior ? I get he is an asshole, I don't need to see it again and again and again. Either make him interesting, or just give me the outline.

The FMC herself isn't that likable. While the Emperor is a much bigger asshole, the FMC shares some responsibility. She showed no affection to the Emperor for years because she was busy or she just can't be bothered. Starved for affection, he was seduced to a life of having partner that actually loved him. He did a lot of nonsense afterwards, but up to this point, there is no surprise their marriage failed. I'm pretty sure the Empress was more hurt by the fact he showed her disrespect and accused her unjustly of putting pressure on the mistress, than that he took a mistress, since she never loved him. She just thought of him as a good business partner for life. That is not a marriage.

The FMC then proceeds to have men fall for her, while she barely even acknowledges the fact they love her and is incapable of reciprocating affection to anything that isn't a small animal, a maid or the faceless masses. Maybe she will learn to love at some point, but I read over 120 chapters and it still hasn't really happened. It doesn't make sense she has such low EQ.

The former slave is just pitiful, naive and uneducated. She never experienced a parent's love, was abused her whole life. One can't claim she shouldn't have done whatever she could to free herself from slavery. Of course she is justified. She is clumsy in action and behavior, but to so say she is in the wrong because of that is just unfair. The story will have you believe the role of Empress is something like a top level clerical position, but it really isn't. It isn't about sitting and filling forms everyday, I don't get this Korean trope. If all she did was offer comfort and progeny to the Emperor, she is probably better as Empress.

Also, mind you the FMC is pro-slavery, permanent and inherited for a generation slavery. At no point in this story does she acknowledge her rival had a difficult upbringing or was in an unjust situation. She just felt disdain to her for being uneducated runaway slave. Given that, how good was she for the masses ? What percent of those masses are slaves ? I would guess the former slave is much more likely to try to abolish slavery. Maybe not immediately, but in 5 years after learning the ropes and maturing. The villain is presumably around 18-20 in the story while the FMC is around 25+.

This is an angsty melodramatic historical fantasy with laughably awful side characters that are clearly created to be hated. It makes for a great hate read. The frustration and anger you will feel will keep you clicking "next." The art is also pretty good.

But, if you get into the plot, you realize logic flies out the window in this series. Character motivations are not consistent. World building and politics are childishly over-simplistic. Plot holes are casually glossed over.

If you think about this story even more, you realize that this story is villainizes the oppressed and glorifies people in power. It condones and glorifies slavery. It shows little to no sympathy to female characters other than the FL. This story honestly doesn't deserve the mainstream popularity it has.

But I will say, it is very fun to watch the ex-husband grovel.

It started good, but maybe the process on "how she remarried" just took too long and gotta be honest that it gets boring.

I agree to some who said Rashta developed character. Perhaps because she climbed up with nasty ways based on her love of her child (mind you, thats not the same of saying she becomes better person).

As for the empress, the emperor and others.. well, they are kinda bland. It would gives more "angst" if the series only less than 100 chapters.. (e.g glass wall)

i haven’t made a review in months bc i’m lazy but i suddenly remember the visceral hatred i had for this manhwa (or more specifically, its deeply misogynistic fanbase) and felt the need to level out some of the reviews. everyone else can inform you about how much they appreciate a fun, tense, revenge filled plot and the hot himbo simp characters or whatever but i’m going to skim over why i despise this series:

- the writing is incredibly predictable and goes nowhere. plot lines with no real purpose other than to stretch out the series.

- navier, the main character, has no distinct personality. she’s quiet and regal = she’s bland on screen. as are the majority of the characters, including her stock evil ex husband and her unconditionally adoring lover.

- i can’t stand the f*cking author, man. all they do is appeal to the internalized misogyny of their fanbase. rashta is the stereotypical “other woman” blah blah; let’s talk about how the author specifically writes rashta in order to uphold SLAVERY. instead of being portrayed as the sympathetic character who narrowly escaped a lifetime of torment, rashta is frequently portrayed in an unuanced, negative lighting, thus lending multiple fans to constantly ridicule her for a variety of reasons, including the fact that she is “unworthy” and “lesser” because she was a slave, and navier was an empress. how great of an empress can navier even be if she couldn’t even bother to abolish slavery? what a horrible and incredibly insensitive portrayal of slavery.

- pretty much the only thing i can see someone mildly praising this for is the exceptional art.

regardless, it’s really not worth picking up if you’ve an ounce of critical thinking. there are far better ois with plot lines or characters in similar fashion. f*ck slavery apologists, bottom line. 1/10

Spoiler (mouse over to view)

Why is the emperor blaming her always on being infertile, while he made her like that and hide the truth from her, like holy sh*t, thats the scummiest thing i ever read in this manhwa.
ps there is probably worse thing in it.

there are some infuriating characters in this doing hilariously dumb things and it's pretty good escapism as long as you don't think too hard about power dynamics (particularly where rashta is concerned). mostly you keep reading in the hopes that you'll see sovieshu get absolutely f*ing owned, and the author does a fine job of playing that drama out.

There are so many reasons that this story sucks but imo the biggest is that we're expected to see Rashta as the villain. I have NO idea why everyone who reads this seems to hate her so bad... she is probably the most-developed character in this sh*t-show. What story has everyone else been reading where she's a character worthy of such a reaction? Because I want to read that. She is a slave brooooo she is a SLAVE she is just trying to gain independence... what has she even done wrong? Why is she the bad guy in this story? Wish she was the protagonist instead: her character is sympathetic and strong, and she does a lot in her limited role. There's a lot of agency in her plot and it's refreshing.

In comparison Navier is supposed to seem regal and very wronged because her throne is being stolen, I guess, but it just feels terrible to see her looking down on a woman who IS A SLAVE!!! DON'T FORGET THAT!!!! because she doesn't have perfect etiquette like Navier does? As a character she just feels.. bland and unnecessary, which is hilarious considering that the story is supposed to be about her. The root of her struggles is that... her marriage is a little cold? Girl you are the Empress 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 MFING 👏🏼 EMPRESS 👏🏼 this is nothingggg you have wars to deal with omfg why are you worried about this. Go do whatever rich powerful people do in this story. Defend the slave system a bit more maybe. Stop moping, god.
