ML is a victim too he kinda looking like a jerk but he isnt, he's just having this hugee inferiority complex.
He believe he aint worthy of her Thats why he decide to bcm the emperor so he can be worthy standing with her. He loves FL since ages ago, honestly i pity him so bad. He aint do nothing wrong but again It's just your typical miscom shit so yea he deffo AINT ruve 2.0 (Mind u, im ruve BIGGEST HATER, i hate that bich so effing bad, like i hate him to the point of my core even thru my bones i hate him so SO SOOOOOO BAD and RUVE that shit deserve jail in HELL) AND ML NEVER torture FL thru abuse or shit like this shitty smelly ruve, he's just dont know what he supposed to do since he grew up with abuse and no love :(
ANW this ML— he deserve to be together with FL ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I just hope this doesn't work out the same way like in the abandoned empress did. Like please let girlie be happy with her cute grandparents and uncles. Poor girlie got traumatized and now the story just made her having to solve other people's problems as well (esp that ML). Ik it's inevitable that ML is *that* guy but that redemption arc better be hard and worth it because i really like this FL.
