This is exactly what I was thinking. Like how can someone be so inconsiderate and evil towards another human? Maybe they have dehumanized her to a point where they only consider her as a object that holds assets like money and all? As for the husband, I'm starting to think that him taking everything lightly is a part of his personality but also he doesn't understand the weight of his actions. Somebody needs to put it into perspective for him, but he'd probably just ignore it like he did when Leticia tried to put it in perspective.
I really hope, at least the mistress amount to something more. It seemed like she planned this out for a long time. Maybe she's sorta like the villainess/witch from "The Second Life of a Trash Princess" and she brainwashed everyone?
Not really no. There are many cases of women and their families getting exploited by the groom and his family even in modern times. So I don't really find it that wierd. In many asian cultures, dowry is a thing so oftentimes groom's side views marriage as a chance for financial gains and the bride is reduced to a mere hostage or channel that is used to siphon more money from her family after marriage. Although the story is victorian era based, the idea still applies ig since there were marriages for alliances and gains there too.
Her step-mother is also understandable bc she married a man who had money and a daughter he loved a lot. The man squandered all his money for his daughter and her husband and ended up dead with debt that she had to pay off. If she had not remarried, she'd be in streets thanks to MC n her in laws. I'd hate MC too if I were in her step mother's shoes. From her pov, MC brought nothing to her life except for ruination, its harsh but true.
Yes, I read something like that somewhere. The mistress brainwashed the husband thus he is like 'I knew what I had to do once I met her'. However he was a dick wad since before their marriage as shown in the chap where they get married. I agree with the blondie that she should leave him asap. I would have tbh, she was just too blinded ig.
As far as I can remember the FL was the one with money, the other dude was a novue riche of some kind due to the support of the FL's Dad. Which made the interraction of the characters between each other even more confusing.
And there really are only two possible reason for it.
1. Side chick is a witch or something that brainwash everyone.
2. They are just made to be hateful because author doesn't have any creativity to write characters with sense.
Regardless, so far I'm smelling lazy character story writing, that I am hoping not true because art's gonna be wasted
Great art with promising plot and characters. But I'm getting this vibe that all the characters who wrong her were made to make them the most evil shitty being with no reason at all. Ngl kinda make the enemies shallow because they were created to be hated with little to no backing as to why they are acting this way. And while some may argue that we are only 8 chapters deep at this point. I'm complaining because the story felt like it already tried to show so much but with little to nothing of substance that can make the whole story actually interesting
