But his plan wasn't just give what the top wants but instead he wanted to manipulate people for him to get the power he wanted. I dont think he ever began with wanting love...
Also he knew how bad the guy was but decided to stay and manipulate his cousin and gaspal...
Another thing he said was he wishes he was born a girl..
Meanwhile in that time the only good thing a woman was known for doing was marriage. I get why he a bit jealous of ivona but the only reason she's successful is because she's trying to make a change instead of staying on the sidelines and look pretty.
(which was the standard for woman back then since they were seen as delicate and not smart enough to lead or make important decisions)
As you can tell I have not sympathy for tristan
I feel so bad for tristan I know he made the whole plan but he kinda reminded me of yoonbum because they both always try to make the abusive relationship better by giving what the top wants
