The manga "Why Do You Love Me When I Refuse Your Request?" (also known as "Why Are You Obsessed With Me Even Though I Reject Your Affection?") centers around Princess Shuelina (ShuShu), who was neglected and mistreated by her biological father, the Emperor, and others. The story follows her journey after reincarnating or taking over the body of the original princess, and her struggle against the cruelty of the Second Empress and her daughter, who steal her magic and plot against her. Shuelina seeks refuge with the Grand Duke's family, who genuinely love and protect her unlike her biological family. Themes of love refusal and complicated family dynamics run throughout the manhwa. Shuelina often rejects the love or requests of others, particularly from those who once abandoned or mistreated her, like her father and brother. Meanwhile, the Grand Duke and his sons show genuine care and affection toward her, embodying true family support. The manga explores why love persists despite refusal, emotional neglect, and conflict, as well as revenge, redemption, and empowerment. In short, the manga explores the pain and complexity of love when it is refused, especially within a setting of family betrayal and political intrigue. It inquires why love can remain or even grow stronger when requests or affections are turned down, highlighted through Shuelina's relationships and struggles.
