Ignore the grammar in the first few lines, I wrote it for someone specifically so i forgot to adjust it ╥﹏╥
I actually don't like the fl(￣∇￣")
Really? I don't particularly dislike or like her.. idk shes kinda boring imo ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Idk just seems like a really RANDOM & very convient excuse to make the ML the typical cold , standoffish ML. Like I just can't get over how random the whole demon contract and its specific ass rules are?? Unless it actually falls into the storyline and isn't just used as a "why did you hate me " ..."baby it wasn't you it was the demon contract"
Even with the "justification" for his treatment of the fl, it's clear that they're meant to get together. And I'm sick of reading/watching love stories where the ml acts like an asshole (sometimes even borderline abusive or just straight up abusive) and then everything is magically made fine when they finally admit mutual love.
The contract might be an interesting thing in this story, but I personally don't want to watch god knows how many chapters of the fl being tortured, just to have all her hurt be erased by love.
I didn't write this spoiler btw, just shortened it. I get how u dont like the ml, neither do I but I just felt as if u shud kno that his reason is kinda justified?

Why hes acting the way he is:
has a demon contract forced upon him when young by a woman who wants revenge. He literally can't admit his feelings for the FL because the conditions of the contract is that in return for strength and power, when he has someone he loves from the bottom of his heart, he has to kill his beloved with his own hands as payment for receiving strength from the demon. ML didn't even think anything of this when he heard about the contract as a young boy, thinking that he wouldn't love anyone. But when he does develop feelings for FL, the demon started speaking to him and telling him to kill FL as payment, and his body started moving against his own will. He started denying his feelings to the demon, suppressing himself through self-harm and avoidance of FL etc. Still, he couldn't give up on his wish to stay with FL and searched for ways to be with her despite the contract. Then the birthday incident happened and he deeply regretted hurting FL with words he didn't actually mean. He gave up on his "selfish" hope of staying by FL side, pledging never to let the demon kill her. ALSO. The contract can't be mentioned to anyone else so he can't consult with anyone else. Of course, talking directly to FL is also a no-go since his desire to kill her amplifies in her presence (there's a separate reason as to why he can later on join FL as her guard)
