I've already read the novel so i feel kinda sad for Eclis. I pity him
Major spoiler:
Eclis became obsessive with Penelope (he reached the 100% like rate or sumthin'. The thing above his head, he reached the maximum if i'm remembering correctly) soooo he and his big bright brain decided to conspire with the Eckart's long lost sister (forgotten what's the name of the beech) and he brought this gurl back to the Duchy coz he plan to ask Penny to just ran away with him, since he thinks she'll gonna depend solely on him or such (yep. great plan. this guy is a genius I'm telling y'all). And so, upon this big big betrayal, our lil gurl penny decided that she's done with him. Like beech bye bye, go suffer in prison with yo two faced ass. So Eclis... He switched bruh. Like goddamn i don't even wanna know what's running thru his head. Cute obedient puppy no more.
And then apparently, this real daughter (srsly forgotten her name) is also a two faced villain. Imma explain why. So Penny is inside a game right? She played this game in her past life right before she died. In that game, there's two modes. The Easy and the Hard. On the easy round, when the real daughter finally came back home to the duchy, the villainess Penelope harrasses the gurl coz she's jelly. And the five male leads being the five male leads that they are, obviously defended the sweet lil gurl from Penny's harassment (which what killed Penny in the easy mode). BUT!! On the Hard Mode, the story got twisted. The storyline goes that Penelope kinda saw how the gurl manipulate and hypnotise everybody around them (especially Duke Eckart and the 5 ml's so they would turn their backs on Penny, and so they wouldn't believe anything that Penny will say against the gurl) this hypnotising thing is actually easier coz of Penny's reputation, everybody already had their doubts on Penny from the very beginning. So our baby Penny did what she has to do. To kill this girl since she's evil (on the easy mode, they made it seem like she's attempting to kill the gurl because she's jealous. This is because of the hypnosis). Penelope obviously didn't know about this because she's too lazy to read the storyline on her past life (she's focused on winning the Hard Mode which she obviously failed a thousand times)
So yep. I blame everybody for being easily manipulated (especially the first born Eckart. Fucc u dude) fucc u all. I simp for the prince tho. His mind is so twisted yet so alluring. Plus, she supports our fl in every move she makes. Like go ahead and ruin the whole fucking world i don't care, i still love u anyways.
It's so disturbing. I love it.
