Don't know how you're such a hater and persisted for 475 chapters, but your snark will not be missed. This is hardly high literature, yet all your comments are rooted in being unable to comprehend what's going on
Hilarious gutter-level logic. It's not like the empire was completely dependent on him, and why would you possibly want a "guardian" that kills 380000 of your own people. What happens when he wants to reach rank 1? Or beyond? No thinking man would want to let such a figure continue to grow until they can't be controlled.
Even more obvious, the demons and barbarians just saw what they (pretty correctly) thought was a hidden master of the empire tear a rank 2 apart. MC in disguise already became a much stronger deterrent than the king of zhang bei was or would have been.
Ungrateful fools complaining to the author... Why would a pretty girl disguise herself as a pretty girl when traveling alone and trying to stay low-profile and not attract attention...
There's also some ethereal aspect to it. Both MC and the Emperor felt disgust for the other since the first time they saw each other, just after it had been explained that the water dragon-creature the emperor keeps in the garden has an affinity towards certain blessed people (and it wants both the Emperor and MC to ride it, though more so the MC).
I think it's implied that both the MC and the Emperor both possess a certain special fortune that makes them antagonistic towards the other, as if instinctively feeling that it should only belong to themself, and the other being a usurper of sorts (or MC being the next in line for the fortune, while the Emperor is on his way out and reluctant).
This is truly one of the greats (in my top 3 manhua with Lan Ke Qi Yuan and Demonic Heart/Inner Demon). A pretty steady pace, but it reads more like a (graphic) novel than the usual manhua.
