Happily Ever Afterwards — Chapter 58

Okay, diving into the comments for Happily Ever Afterwards [Official] Chapter 58 was quite a ride! Readers are feeling *things* after this chapter took a sharp turn from the usual fluff. 😭

The biggest source of frustration? The Imperial family and guards! Readers are baffled and angry that they were seemingly willing to risk Princess Peony's life (the Princess of a different nation, mind you!) to save the Empress, especially right before a crucial delegation visit. Many feel Emperor Mikhail and Empress Hestia are selfish and incompetent, pointing out how much Richt has already sacrificed for them. The Emperor's reaction to Richt saving Peony instead of Hestia? Absolutely NOT okay with the readers! 😡

But if anything stole the show in reader rage, it's the return of the original Peony's soul! 👋 Many find this plot twist cheap and nonsensical, calling OG Peony selfish, entitled, and demanding she "stay dead" and stop trying to control the current Peony's life, especially her relationship with Richt. "Bish you dead, move on!" seemed to be the general consensus, though a few *did* try to understand OG Peony's perspective of wanting her family happy. 👀

Amidst all this drama, readers feel immense pity for Richt, who is constantly burdened and used by the very people he helped. They firmly believe he made the right choice saving the woman he loves. Overall, this chapter brought unexpected angst, leaving many readers stressed and wanting their fluffy romance back! 💔
