Girl no not always, it's about their narrative weight, not how long they've been introduced.
And by the same logic, we meet the blond guy first, and the ml is introduced later. This story isn't some Shoujo romance so it doesn't revolve around a couple that meets the random childhood friend for angst and some shitty love triangle.

I know it's not always. I literally said "Usually" bro
And by what you said about their narrative weight, def still feel that blondie is ml by that. It's exactly why I thought he was ml. They're both close since they work together, and he even has a hidden agenda.
Also I said HER PAST, this is not about us readers, where we meet blondie first. The thing is SHE meets white-haired guy first. It's not about us, it's about her meeting with them and their sequence that I was talking about. And yes, this isn't primarily romance, I know that. We all do. This is a manhwa that revolves in deeper topics than just romance. BUT we are currently talking about its romance aspect. AND there's an actual love triangle going on here, shitty or not lmao
The very rare W for my angsty underdog ML lovin' ass ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
