Guys, I've found someone's comment from the Indonesian version (which is up to ch 10): "I can help to provide the English translation, but I don’t know how to clean or edit stuff. Maybe someone wants to work together to make the English one?" (not me) Any volunteers? You can reply here Spoiler: deleted dm me And spoilers from the comments: Spoiler So basically the Queen keeps sending him maids to sleep with him but at the same time those maids had try to kill him as they had been instructed by the Queen to do so. Eunwoo was supposed to be temporary and only meant to sleep with him for a night only as the Prince never slept with a maid twice. But somehow he keeps remembering her actions and how the way she speaks is different from other women. But at the same he was also suspicious of her as she originally work at the Queen's Palace. In ch. 9, The Crown Prince asks Eunwoo if she's gonna try to kill him like all the previous maids who slept with him. And Eunwoo tried to tell him that she doesn't have any ulterior motives and if she did got instructed to kill the Prince, she might as well drink the poison herself. But she said she won't know if there is poison placed on her without her knowing so she asked the Prince to check her (some obscene acts were performed after was to check if there's poison placed inside her). She repeated again saying she'd rather died instead of letting him die. Then the Prince kind of calms down a bit and maybe start to trust her? He also seems confused with his feelings since he keeps thinking of her and the way she acts. As you saw in the 1st chappie, she seems to have met him from young, but he appears to have forgotten.
I did what I usually do and looked up naver blog reviews of the manhwa and novel. Here’s what I learned (it’s mtl’d so take it with a grain of salt): - Crown Prince fell in love with Eunwoo when they were young. Doesn’t recognize immediately as adults, thinks she is a spy and is hostile but falls in love with her again before clearing up the suspicions. - FL is special because she’ll be the first to receive 승은/承恩 (favour, being called to serve night duties) from the crown prince twice. - Crown Prince’s mental health suffers because of the war experiences (kidnapping/torture orchestrated by his father) and constant threats to his life. Has bad insomnia, experiences seizures(?) - It’s apparently a story where the kind/sincere FL (who has no ambition for power/status) is important in his healing. She’s the only one who makes him feel at ease. - Evil queen is going to try to curse ML at some point ※ Can’t spoil beyond this bc idk either!
Spoiler: spoiler During the ceremony, the crown prince got seizer. His closed aid took him back to his palace, and called the FL again. FL stayed with the crown prince till morning and the prince said he wanted her to be his one and only concubine. FL refused him that she didnt want to stand out and wanted to pursue her career. They parted. During this time, FL was bullied by her female maids badly. She was burnt a few places. Bullies got really bad, she was about to die. The crown prince heard about it so he rescued her.
Starting reading this and it’s a gem to me because I’m a sucker for historical dramas and it reminded me of a kdrama vibes and it’s a breathe of fresh air because its rare to have a Korean historical smut with straight couple because mostly historical smuts are always BL couples like in Painter of the Night and others. I’m rooting for the female lead: Eunwoo. She’s a precious cinnamon that needs to be protected how she was so very sincere to the CP and very optimistic.
I have Lezhin, but I cannot find Gwang-an. I ended making a Boomtoon account and impulsively purchased some coins and waiting for the adult verification. Though I realized it’s raw Korean and I wont understand it. Ugh. I like this story so much.
