Who the tremendous ki masked guy was
I got this from a comment a bit further down btw
Hes her ex fiance
the guy who the original villainess was cray cray for?
Yep
I just read through the raws that someone posted in a comment further down and it finishes at chapter 10? And I cant even tell if they're together romantically? You can tell he cares for her but it's just not enough for me （/TДT)/
THEY’RE NOT!? (´°ω°｀)
I'm enjoying the story and everything but her dialogue..? 'Fuck me mercilessly' 'break me' 'F me til I break', just puts me off lmao idk it's just weird n cringe for me ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I knowwww, honestly at some point i stopped reading and just focused on the art
I'm absolutely LOVING this, after so long I've finally found such a gem; the fl is just..flawless and I'm assuming the huge puppy-eyed guy is the ml n hes just so precious (is anyone else getting Nine vibes from him?) ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Reading Manhua like these just make me feel so damn energised!! IM SIMPING OVER THE CHARACTERS SO BAD AND THE STORYS BARELY STARTED!!! (☆▽☆)
This was such a beautiful story and I'm so glad I stumbled onto it. I'm literally moved to tears and am so happy that she found happiness
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)
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.
Spoilers can be read here~(づ￣ ³￣)づ

It's a spoiler thread containing, well, spoilers about everything; including the ending, their relationship etc
Be warned though, its a hella ANGSTY ride （/TДT)/
Oh my god it's such an angsty road up ahead, BUT things do work out between them and it gets super sweet and adorable BUT before that, justice is served: the current asshole of a ml does end up getting back the pain that he put Peony through (emotionally ofcs & its ac quite heartbreaking, but Peony still suffered quite a bit more) So I'm satisfied ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'll be leaving the link to the spoilers below~

Sorry, I did leave a space between the top and the actual spoiler but it all got cut out (￣∇￣")
I read so many spoilers just now, but I don't see how exactly he suffers? (￣∇￣")
Its more prevalent in the last few chapters? I think from ch 90-100 ?
I just checked, they're mainly on the 6th page .
Then again, I guess what we believe is suffering changes from person to person, i just felt that he does emotionally suffer at that point but that's just my opinion ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Thanks, I was only on the first few pages, 1-4 or something. It's just that I hate that the ml is so often so mean to the fl, like here, and she just has to forgive him for everything and is the only one suffering. (〜￣△￣)〜
Ikkk, I'd hate it if she just went ahead and accepted him, regardless of all the hurt he put her through just because she 'loves' him. I'm glad that there was some sort of retribution.
Yes, exactly! It always seems like the guy is worth more, so the fl kinda has to go through that to, I don't know, be of the same worth or somethin'... it just very unfair. If you know what I mean.
Definitely. I stg the male leads are always the ones that treat the fls like absolute shit and then end up falling in love with them after putting them through such emotional torture, and then have the audacity to expect the fl to drop everything n love them back without hesitation. These types of tropes get me so bad, a relationship's supposed to be a 2 way road fgs.
The double standard is just ugh.
