You hit the nail on the head. In the novel, the servants mistreated Chloe and her family never came to visit her. Even one of her sisters compared her to a big because she disliked her so much. She also expressed how much she hated being with her ex husband. Also, she talked about how she never saw her dad and her sisters as her family. Even though Chloe is a maid and a slave, you can tell she’s quite happy and grateful of her positions. Obviously, no one would be grateful for being a slave. But, her being a slave is a life that she knows very well and sees positive things about being slave. I don’t agree with it, but I can see why she’s happy being a slave.
The ML is allergic to wearing clothes lol Anyway, this story was a surprise because I really dislike stories where the female lead is the empty head type and suddenly fall for a jerk male lead. However, when learning about her situation, the ML actually saved her from the hell she was living with the royal family, who only brought her just to sell her for power and treated her like trash. To the point she said being a slave was actually better than when she lived with them. So her seeing the ML as a none evil person is understandable.
Also the male lead is quite decent. He cares for the weak and innocent as well as his followers and despises those nobles hungry for power.
