Rashta was my favorite character in remarried empress. She was always the most interesting character because while she was mean and did bad things you understood why she did it. She tried to step over people and hurt them but it was because she was desperate to never be to the place she was before. That is why she inspired one of my ocs called Natasha and her nickname is Tasha. She is also a mistress and traumatized but she is not just trying to survive like Rashta but have a community we’re she is wanted. She wants to have a healthy relationship with her lover the king but struggles to because the trauma she has. I am trying to come up a version of the Trashta nickname for her. Will Trasha be recognized as a reference to it ?
Just read the news that Shin Minha might play Navier, in the kdrama adaptation of The Remarried Empress. I want her, because before I read the Novel, I didn’t realise Navier is in early 20s, which I personally felt was too young and given how the narrative hails her as perfect empress, she needs time to show results which I felt was at odd with a 20 something young empress.
When I read the webtoon I always think of Navier as someone beautiful and mature like Shin Minha or Shin Hye Sun in my head. A mature empress in her 30s who slogged behind the scenes for years. And if she is in her 30s it does much better for the whole “heir” debacle to make sense and flourish. Otherwise it makes no sense why Shoveshit is so desperate for an heir when Navier is only in her 20s.
I just wish Trashta was not a slave girl, as much as I love to hate her, I feel remorse for her too. Because that is an uneducated exploited slave girl who had come from nothing then given so much without a proper help, guidance or care. Who was left to overcook things in her head that literally made her the worse version of herself. If only she was not a slave girl then it would’ve been perfect!

so Navier is absolutely my favorite character in the remarried empress but Rashta is my second favorite. I've seen that webtoon has a tendency to hate antagonistic females to an unreal extent. It's so unfair, Rashta at first was literally just in love and wanted to be on good terms eith Navier, granted Navier had every right to reject her but everybody hates in Rashta for that.
Later in the story she does get more antagonistic by the episode but she was doing everything she could to keep herself and her child safe while coping with obvious truama. She is swimming with sharks in the court but the fans want to rip her to peices when Rashta literally does anything.
Recently I saw someone mention how Rashta helped Naviers ex husband cheat on Navier which is honestly crazy to me. It was very clearly stated past emperors had mistresses so there should be no problem there. Plus its obvious Sovishu loved Rashta, I wouldn't go so far as to say he was IN love with her but damn. Him and Navier had never admitted to one another or even hinted at being in love with eachother. Of course the fans know Navier was, and we learn Sovishu was later, but all he wanted to do was save his kid.
One can point out he thrusted Navier off the throne for the kid so she had every right to leave, and hell yeah she did. She made the best our of her peculiar situation and that's why I love Navier so much. Sovishu should have of atleast TALKED to Navier about it.
Anyway, my point is I wish people wouldn't paint characters in webtoon in black and white. Tha k you for listening to this rant, follow because I will be doing more of these as I reread this amazing webtoon 😁👍
Idk why I keep making these shitty memes 😂
[Analysis] The Remarried Empress: A Victim Of Circumstance

While the Remarried Empress has been on a well-deserved hiatus, I’ve been reading it over again. I find that re-reading is always interesting because it gives you the chance to see if you might come out with a different opinion or point of view, especially now that you have had some foresight into future events. While I’ve reconsidered my thoughts and feelings on some things in my latest re-read, one thing hasn’t changed and that’s my opinion of Rashta.
Oh, Rashta. The most hated female character in the entire webcomic. Reading the comments wherein she’s often nicknamed “Trashta,” you may be convinced she’s the most hated female character in general. I do understand the criticisms directed at her, however I find it errs toward vitriol and I simply cannot bring myself to the same boiling point when I see her to be a misunderstood victim of her circumstances
Am I saying Rashat is perfect? No.

The makings of a fairytale became a reality for her. Though I don’t believe she truly loves Sovieshu, the Emperor, love isn’t required in order for her to have been sold on this fantasy. Keep all of this in mind as I believe her character flaws stem from this very point.
Rashta has many character flaws, she certainly puts the “Rash” in her name by making quick decisions without thinking about the consequences of her actions. She’ll impulsively lie and be deceptive for reasons that can be vexing for most. She also puts a lot of stock in what people think of her, often leaning into paranoia rather than self-reflection. Moreover, she will position herself to be pitied and doted on by the Emperor.
Petty and annoying things, assuredly. However I don’t believe that these flaws are worthy of such strong disdain, particularly in the beginning episodes of the webcomic.

He actively pitted Rashta against the Empress as he would make a scene over every small thing Navier did. He painted it as though the Empress despised Rashta and was scheming to get rid of her from the start. I believe this caused Rashta to feel the need to lie about Navier’s acceptance of her to save face with the nobles, as well as paint the Empress as a villain to Sovieshu.

Anything she perceives as a risk, no matter how benign it may look on the surface, is detrimental to her well-being, not just a minor concern that can be overlooked. You can find examples of this behavior in Chapters 17 and 18. Viscount Lotteshu, who used to own Rashta, threatened his way into meeting with her after making a scene at the party about her origins.
Source: The Remarried Empress, Chapter 44
Through her experiences as a slave and how she is treated thereafter, I believe this is what shapes her opinion of how nobles and royalty behave. They are either sickeningly sweet or horrendously wicked. They may dote on her one moment and the next be plotting for her downfall–and, for Rashta, it is a very steep fall. She is nearly powerless to her circumstance as she is in a constant state of potentially losing everything.
Yes, Rashta lies. Yes, she’ll do petty things to Navier. Yes, she schemes in order to keep herself in her position. However, she is tortuously navigating her way through a world she had lucked into, a world she was never prepared to enter.
Navier, in stark contrast to Rashta, was raised for the sole purpose of being an Empress. She was taught and prepared to handle issues with a level of decorum and intention behind everything she does. Meanwhile, Rashta never had such training and possibly can’t even begin to grasp these concepts as she attempts to, essentially, cosplay the role of a noble that’s been thrust upon her by current circumstances.

Rashta is blinded by her suffering as she impulsively does dishonest and questionable things. Her actions and the actions of Sovieshu are all adding up, plummeting her into a downward spiral in later chapters. Though she never had tact to begin with, her means of avoiding trauma become even more careless and messy. This is a type of hell all on its own, as her attempts to run away from her pain are causing her to careen right toward it. Yet, that’s why I like her as a character, because she is an example of there being no such thing as a “perfect victim.”
Rashta may be flawed, but that doesn’t make her any less of a victim. She has no right to be absolved from any consequences, but I do believe she deserves a little more empathy from readers than what she garners now.

When I see people hating on Navier then praise Rashta by using the excuses of “Rashta used to be a slave and Navier was always lucky for being born a noble” or the excuse of “Navier didn’t try to stop slavery even though she had the power to.” As a naturally defensive and aggressive person I flip out, I know pretty stupid. So I’ve decided to rub the last two halves of my braincell together and give my opinion on it.
