To be honest, I feel peeved that he switched back into a guy's body because it kind of denies the entire progress so far. I read both yaoi and shoujo novels, so I wasn't bothered by the gender bender, but now I feel all the character development and work raising the empress into a powerful political position is wasted now that he turned back into a guy (and it's not even his own body). I don't understand why the author did that. Why spend so much time describing the emperor having s*xual feelings towards his FEMALE wife, admiring her FEMALE body and figure, developing the parental relationship between the little crown prince and the empress and exploring the emperor's desire of maybe having more children with the empress if all those plotlines are going to go to waste? They even had the empress reveal to his uncle who he actually was. And then they threw all that development to the tr*sh. In the new body, Teng Yun cannot have a parental relationship with the crown prince (because the kid hates him for what he did to his "mother"), is back to lying to the uncle about his identity, and the emperor used some weird contrived plan to trap him into the harem again, even as a male, just so he cannot amass political power. If you could do this, why make him a woman in the first place? Why not make him reborn as a guy from the beginning and just have the emperor marry him as a guy, since you obviously have no problem with that? This development also makes the emperor seem so shallow because
this is the man who literally killed his wife, the person who he himself accepted meant the most to him, and yet he's all flirty flirty with him, even before he learns they are the same person
And Teng Yun just goes along with it. He is the most passive military man in the face of the planet. I understood why he couldn't do anything when he was a woman, but now he's back to being a guy and he has a good amount of liberty since he was granted an official rank, and yet he's just going along with the emperor forcing him to marry, even though everyone mocks him and he has literally ZERO desire or romantic interest in the emperor. Again, as a woman, since they were always in close proximity and the emperor frequently touched Teng Yun, kissed him and slept in the same bed as him, him growing used to and even familiar with this contact was understandable. I was all for it. But now he only sees the emperor during court sessions so there's literally no spark whatsoever, no longing of any kind. It's not tsundere, dub-con or unable-to-express-his feelings... NO! He has shivers of dread every time he thinks about the emperor touching him. He doubts every single action and word the emperor does or says. He's annoyed by the fact that the emperor is a playboy and his women are always bothering and scheeming against Teng Yun and how the emperor forces him to deal with this. There is literally nothing he likes about the emperor as a person, other than his capabilities as king. It's super jarring when the emperor proclaims to everyone that he's going to marry Guy Teng Yun and he just stands there and does NOTHING. You can't say no to him because he's the king? BS! you are supposed to be this supremely intelligent military commander. Just run away in the middle of the night, or something!
I honestly just want this poor guy to disappear on a desert island somewhere so he can catch a break.
Low-key disappointed that emperor wasn't on the bottom even once (at least in the text), even though he said he is willing
