The Tainted Half — Chapter 23

Whew, **The Tainted Half Chapter 21** really stirred the pot! 🔥 Readers are diving deep into the complex relationships and conflicting motives this chapter unveiled.

The big debate? The husband! 🤔 While some totally get his fear and possessive reaction, sensing danger around the Emperor, others are absolutely not having it. Faking illness? Trust issues? Wanting his wife's 'blood' just for himself? Many readers see him as a major red flag 🚩 and just as shady as the Emperor, if not worse.

Speaking of the Emperor, he's not winning any popularity contests either. Readers are convinced he just wants an excuse to steal the wife away – a classic move for emperors in these stories, apparently! 😅

Add in the sting of seeing familiar faces in the flashback and hints of reincarnation adding another layer of tragedy, and you've got a chapter that left everyone feeling a bit tense and unsure who to even side with. It's a messy, sad situation all around! 😭
