but that would mean that she's relying on her dad as in her business is only successful because of her dad's wealth/influence and not because the product itself is good. best way to end her in that situation is with the actual product itself. That's why she couldn't respond when someone influential said that her product is high quality. People were also intrigued by her product when someone else who is also influential started wearing her perfume. Relying on her dad would've been a bad move.
also the whole point of this is to be independent from her dad. magnus literally called her poor in one of the recent chapters...obviously not referring to her duchy being broke but Ariel herself being broke. Her dad wants to gain money through his daughter and if she uses his influence....he's not making new money or anything bc it's something that was already his. She needs to be her own independent strong business in order to avoid a political marriage and be of "use" to her father (and his endless greed).....it's also for her own satisfaction but i'm only referring to her mentioning her dad and his money.
ur right at that part and I came up with that idea coz that what usually other fl's would do in some other manhwa's I read and then after that the male lead or the fl's dad will come
it could work in some cases but honestly depends on the context. In this manhwa it seems women can own businesses and not be looked at oddly, but there are a lot of manhwas where that isn't true. It just depends on that manhwa and the laws in that universe. I've read a few manhwa's where FL's will say that but for the most part I read manhwa's with more independent FL's (i drop the series otherwise lol). I don't like series where the FL is reliant on the ML or some other guy to rescue and defend her. Ik i'm getting off on a tangent but i just wanna appreciate this manhwa's male lead. It's so rare that male lead's actually take the FL's desire's into consideration (espically MLs marketed as tyrants). Even if he wants to step in, he didn't want to make her uncomfy like last time and he waited until she said she wanted it. He understood that she wanted the investment done the regular way even though she didn't explicitly state it. He's not trying to secretly help her business and is letting her do her own thing and achieve success with her own achievements. So much appreciation for him and I hope he stays this way.
the chap where magnus was saying her perfume was cheap like that she should've said something like "are you saying the house of winston can only buy cheap ingredients" or "are you underestimating the wealth of *her dad's name or the duke*" stuff like that and magnus will say "what n-no I-" and then boom she's defeated
