Tbh tho... I think we haven't seen enough of his pov. He went through physical and psychological abuse when he was younger and did all he could to climb the social ladder and finally got a chance to marry into the highest family (the royal family) buy spending a huge amount of his amassed fortune only to have this entire ordeal turned into a scam.
After that incident I think he worked his ass off tryin to make money to give his wife a decent life since he lost so much of his fortune. The reason he never accompanied her was cause he was unaware of the significance of aristocratic social parties. In his mind he would rather be busy trying to make more money instead of entertaining the nobles who he probably despises.
I think they were both ridiculed and abused after the scam marriage but it was worse for Violet 'cause there was no one on her side at all. Like everyone in the mansion, the in-laws, everyone in the social circles ridiculed and abused her. At least the ML had a couple of loyal servants by his side.
I can't necessarily say that one of them is at more fault than the other, but I think the biggest thing lacking was communication on both ends.
Nothing excuses his behavior towards her.
Please this story is just making me so angry.
I don't know why some author of manhwa with kind of the same storyline always try to make the female lead and the "male lead" falling in love.
He didn't abused her physically but she received so much psychologic abuse and even the doctor didn't want to treat her rightly (which is negligence).
I know, I am so sure that they will end up falling in live but like FCK no. He doesn't deserve her, she didn't do anything bad but she received all the hate instead of her brother.
I hope she will get better without him and I hope he would experience all the pain she went through.
Dropped it after reading the raws.
