#anyway i am in desperate need of a similar story that explores rashta's story from a sympathetic pov

I don't know if anyone reads Remarried Empress, but it's horrifying and fascinating to look at the fandom's reactions to flawed female characters.

The premise is that an enslaved woman is found by an Emperor, who then takes her as a mistress to the discomfort of his wife. He then proceeds to let his mistress flounder in high society, uneducated and out of place in a social game that could ruin her. The story focuses on the Empress' reaction to her husband's extra relationship and emotional neglect of their marriage and while the fandom rightly loathes the Emperor for this...... they hate his mistress. Instead of being a woman desperate for stability, unsupported, and manipulating her way into a high position after literally being raised as a slave, she's just some bitch. Even when the Emperor is responsible for all the conflict in the story and she has every reason to act the way she does.

It's wild. She's not a great person, but she's a fascinating and sympathetic character but her fan nickname is literally "Trashta" like.... come on??
