    thanks for the clarity.
    i was ultra confused reading the manga bcuz they call the concubines 'ladyship' but the pronouns are 'him' but sometimes also 'her'. Like, does this world have dual gender or what?

    No. It's because pronouns are pronounced the same whether the subject is male or female. Mtl generally uses context clues to assign male/female to pronouns when translating from a language with more neutral pronouns (korean, Chinese, Japanese) to a language with gendered pronouns like English. Because this story is in a harem setting with emperor and concubines, mtl think the emperor should naturally be assigned male pronouns and concubines should be assigned female pronouns. Hence the gender pronoun confusion.

    Hmm... From what I gather it seems like they all treat her like a daughter (especially the emperor). And she seems to have gotten the favour of the redhead and the blind fold guy...
    Is her father an antagonist? Will there be problems? Will she succeed in her goal of living quietly?

    Does anyone know why the emperor and concubines started to love MC unlike the novel version? E.g. they hated or faked their affection for her in the novel but seems to genuinely be caring for her as a tiny child now.
