Could someone please tell me in which chapter the main characters meet for the first time?
I'd say they officially meet, like talk to each other on chapter 43. But they have casually seen each other in the early chapter. I think it was on chapter 15 but i wouldn't say they actually met because only one knew who the other is๐.
Ep 32, I feel like there is huge plothole that needs to be addressed. All this scheming by the Emperor and everyone…
In my opinion, it isn't really a plothole. It's more on like it's the way some people think. To some it might be more logical to do what you said, but to some it's way more easier to do things like what happened in the drama.
