Can I Cry Now? Chapter 38 Recap
Can I Cry Now? (이제 울어도 될까요?, also known as Can I Finally Cry Now?) is a deeply emotional historical romance. The story centers on Clois, a man who ruthlessly killed his own brothers to take the throne. However, he didn’t do it out of ambition; he did it solely to protect his beloved wife and their unborn child. Tragically, when he returned victorious, he found them both dead. Fast forward seven years, and the numb, emotionally dead Emperor discovers a crumpled application to the empire’s gifted academy from a child living in a poorhouse.
The recent chapters have focused heavily on Clois’s interactions with this poorhouse child, who stirs a haunting familiarity within him. Chapter 38 highlighted the incredibly delicate process of Clois slowly letting his guard down. The child, despite her harsh upbringing, continues to display traits and habits that violently remind Clois of his late wife. The narrative has been beautifully exploring his internal conflict: he is terrified of hoping that this child might actually be his lost daughter, while simultaneously becoming fiercely overprotective of her well-being.
Can I Cry Now? Chapter 39 Spoilers
Because this is an adaptation of a completed 250-chapter Korean web novel by Yoo Yiran, the overarching plot and emotional beats are already known. Based on the novel’s progression for Chapter 39:
- The academy preparations — Chapter 39 will likely focus on the immediate aftermath of Clois officially overturning the child’s rejection from the gifted academy. The narrative will showcase the logistical (and highly emotional) preparations required to move a child from the absolute bottom of society into the most prestigious school in the empire.
- A suspicious noble — To escalate the tension, the chapter will likely introduce or focus on a noble faction that opposes the Emperor’s sudden interest in a commoner. Clois will have to navigate the toxic political landscape, using his ruthless reputation to silence anyone who dares to look down on the child.
- A familiar habit — The chapter will likely conclude with another quiet, heartwarming moment between Clois and the child. During their interactions, she will do something incredibly specific—a unique phrase, a gesture, or a preference—that perfectly mirrors his late wife, pushing Clois one step closer to uncovering the absolute truth about her identity.
