Ok, so, the only way I can describe chapter 19 is rape. Like, I know there will be some people who will try to romanticize it, but it's basically rape. The duke treats Jade like a worthless whore, making him feel shame for feeling aroused, for being 'so easy'. And I think that's the real intention of the author anyways. Like, you can see and feel how unhealthy and toxic and disgusting that was.

As someone who reads a little bit of everything, it's not the worst of what I've read, not even close, but it might trigger some people. Don't try to romanticize it, that's all I ask.
