The Meaning of You — Chapter 43

Well, *The Meaning of You* Chapter 42 hit us right in the feels after teasing something sweet! 😩 Readers collectively groaned as the Emperor tried to move things forward, only to completely miss Dayeon's crucial point.

The dominant sentiment? Intense frustration with the Emperor! 🤬 Many are calling him out for being a "ding dong" or "dumbass" because he's so focused on *his* desire to marry her that he's not hearing *her* – she needs to feel like she has a choice, not pressured into the huge responsibility of being Empress. Readers feel she's cornered and not ready.

Poor Dayeon's return of the "dead eyes" 😭 resonated deeply. Her anxiety and fear of commitment/responsibility are incredibly relatable for many, who applaud the story for showing her struggle and need to put herself first.

While some understand the Emperor's perspective given the time period, most are firmly Team Dayeon, urging him to slow down and offer her genuine freedom to choose. It seems this chapter expertly highlighted the realistic clash between their worlds and paces, leaving everyone anxious for how they'll navigate this tension! 😬
