NU link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/congratulation-empress/ Any spoiler on this one? Like who is the ML? Is it really the third prince (the wandering prince)? I tried MTL a bit and turned out that Spoiler: his personality It was all just a facade, his real self was somewhat psychopathic. MC found out about it and he tried to strangle her to death... Suddenly the male prostitute looks like a much better prospect...
NVM, I tried to MTL it and gave up halfway.... The plot jumped here and there too fast that my brain couldn't keep up with it... And yeah, the 3rd prince was the ML, at the beginning he wanted to use MC bc MC was close to the male-prostitute. He wanted to get some info from the guy to defeat the crown prince. It was unclear why, bc crown prince was his biological brother, they relationship seemed okay, but ML seemed to be closer with his half-brother instead (the one that MC met when she argued with the princess on the street). Anyway, later after MC gained her strength, she was incapacitated by her father (who turned out to be her uncle) after defeating her evil half sister (/cousin). The twin brother of the half sister seemed to be the nicest out of them all, but he still couldn't help much. In her dying state, ML helped her with some rarest medicine. Then after ML become somewhat possessive toward MC (almost yandereish), I'm not clear as to why he suddenly fell in love with her.... There some kind of martial art tournament, MC was participating in it to shame the half sister, then I gave up....
Dang, that sounds chaotic. It already exasperated me when I tried reading the translations since the plot seemed to jump around a lot and none of the characters felt real to me... I hate giving up midway on a novel I've been reading, but taking a look at my long untouched list of reading material...
Yeah i also feel this novel is really hard to understand because the plot sometimes didn't make sense.
