Everyone's hating on FL but I've watched enough Cdramas over the years to know there's more to the story than…
- You are suddenly forced into a peace making marriage with an abuser - While gone, your mother mysteriously suddenly dies and your father falls ill - You return, but: - The eunuchs suddenly appear to have seized power and control everything - Your only sibling, the crown prince, clearly doesn't trust you to help him defeat the eunuchs and wants to control you by marrying you to his trusted right hand man even though you are his ONLY ally in this whole debacle - Your uncle, who also holds some power, keeps trying to marry you off to his students
Tl;dr: you are nothing more than a pawn in a power struggle, and you are likely to end up dead so that some man can climb up off your corpse and enjoy splendor and glory.
Being polite to "the help" whose loyalties as a man, are more likely than not to another man over you, feels like some kind of joke, especially when aforementioned royalty have planted spies amongst your servants and will occasionally pull disrespectful tricks because they're working for someone else.
Everyone's hating on FL but I've watched enough Cdramas over the years to know there's more to the story than first appears. In episodes 4, 5, 6 my suspicions are confirmed.
Sure, FL's behaviour appears outrageous, but imagine:
Written by female for female no men would actually like her or give her a real chance...
just go watch wuxia bruh what is even the issue here? there's plenty of those shows where the woman is a 2D vase that exists just to make the male lead look good, go watch those lol
also calling women "females" and men "males". i know what you are...
