    oh it's going to get worse in the novel. but I'm mostly talking about the prose that makes the story better. it gives the story that "angst" flavor without overdoing it, which IMO makes it more heartrending. idk, maybe it's just me. if you want full spoilers:


    HUGE ASS SPOILERS



    the mc goes out to sell jewelry, and then gets shot. she has surgery in the hospital, and she and ml are told that she was pregnant, but the injury caused a miscarriage, and rendered her infertile. ml is distressed, but is just no help to her, and makes it worse by suggesting adoption. after they leave, there is a mob of reporters, and mc is called out by a woman she vaguely recognizes, who is the sister of the shooter. mc is driven by curiosity for this woman, and where they crossed paths in the past, so they later have a meeting. the woman reveals that the shooter and she were siblings of a man part of the govt resistance group, but was tortured by mc's father. what makes it worse is that this incident happened on the day of mc's piano event. mc had seen the woman making a commotion outside in attempt to reach the marquis to save her brother, but thought nothing of it. the woman failed, and the man had an unfair trial and died. the story shocks mc, forcing her to realize her naivety, and that her beloved father was actually a horrible person, and in guilt and shame, she keeps apologizing over and over to the woman. mc had never empathized with the commoners, but now she is confronted with the fact that the revolution and deaths of her family were justified, and her comfort and luxurious life were maintained with the oppression of the common people. later, she writes a letter of mercy for the shooter's trial, meets with ml one more time and apologizes for her ignorance, and then tries to kill herself by slitting her wrists in the bathtub. and to shorten the next events: ml saves her, she wakes up after a long coma, is in despair that she's alive, ml wants her to live and tries to help her broken depressed mental state but to no avail, mc attempts to kill herself again by hanging, ml saves her again and finally grants her the divorce if she promises she will live. ngl the author did a great job. i hope those emotional moments transfer well into the manhwa.
