The water looks like it's going to be epic so far. And people look like people, unlike the manga adaptation.
This author CANNOT be about to try to make us forgive her stupid father just because he had good intentions and was just trying to fulfill his promise to her mother.
You'd need the emotional intelligence/empathy of a toddler to believe that ANYONE would be happy being trapped in a loveless marriage as a concubine who is going to be treated like an AI Assistant who does all the work for people who humiliated her. You would need a complete inability to conceptualize how other people feel, or think of the one being put into that situation as a robot with no emotions other than satisfaction from being "useful" instead of a person, to think like that.
The fact that he never even asked her if she wanted to be the prince's concubine means that he must think of her like a robot, since he didn't even consider that she might resent the prince for humiliating her. He just assumes she would still want to marry him even when there's another woman that the prince cheated on her with. And he never asked her for her opinion about the engagement, even before she was humiliated. He has NEVER thought of his daughter as a fellow human with her own thoughts and feelings.
Her mother must have been a true saint with incredibly poor taste in men, otherwise there is no way she would have married this fucking manchild and trusted him with their daughter's future.
