While the dynamics between the main leads looked fun in chapter 1 I decided to give the story a try, but I just cannot stand the family dynamics. I think the biggest irony is that there are so many plots in which the female lead reincarnate as the villainess and the villainess is the legitimate daughter while the white lotus or the original female lead is the legitimate child. However, this is the flipside where the female aid is the illegitimate child and the villainess is her half sister and stepmother. But as chapter 3 pointed out, the mother is going to protect her own daughter, even over her husband because her husband cheated on her.
What did the count expect? He cheated on his wife and then despite so-called loving his lover he still had a daughter with his wife and has a daughter with. I guess you can say mistress. Worst thing as the female leads mother never married and I never understand why why they don’t move on because they should. It’s always the woman runs away. She never gets married. She raises her child on her own in poverty, but at the same time she chose to love a man who is married and obviously could not despite his wealth and status. Meanwhile, you also feel bad for the wife because her husband did cheat on her and then brought in his a legitimate child and still neglect her. So I put all the blame on the account for all of this dynamics.
