What do u mean power imbalance? Just because she’s in love with him? And he doesn’t currently know she is? In the past life fl and her family forced ml to marry her, she spread rumors to make it happen and ruin his other proposals. When it came to ml and the short hair female in “ Supposedly” in love with fl thought they was in love and that they was having an affair. We have also seen that the fl had some guy coming around tho we only have a name and not a face to said name ml told fl not to meet him and not to sully (Edward? Name might be wrong) honor when he was going to the countryside to meet the short haired female. I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding between both of them not just the ml. Fl may have been a controlled villainess for her family in her past life but she was not the best person. She’s a changed person. Idk about the blood it’s a year so maybe more towards a certain time limit she will cough up more? The first time may have just been a reminder
I don't think power imbalance works that way? Ik power imbalance usually is when a High ranking marries a low rank or a superior- subordinate relationship ship. Love or feelings aren't a power to wield in that sense
I think the ML was just misunderstood in their past life but i wish he wasn't the ml in the second life like gurly is way too into the dude creates a power imbalance plus what happened with the entire coughing up blood thing since they have only mentioned it once in the 20 episodes
