Pains me how some of you failed to see the characters deeper especially the male lead. He was shit okay, a scumbag, a jerk, a biggest piece of shit and his actions shouldn't be excuse but at the same time he was miserable. His mother abandoned him in such a young age, got beaten up, tortured by people and got adopted and raised by the wrong people, he was so young that time he would yearn for anyone's affection without knowing they're bad people, he's surrounded by greedy nobles making him grow up with a poor mindset that 'money can solve anything' 'I am nothing without my money' because there's no one around him to actually teach him how to be a good person. He lacks communication and even lack to understand human emotions because all he do in his life was to work and be used by his adoptive parents. Obviously, how he grow up isn't enough to justify what he did to our fmc but he slowly learning, he's trying to understand (even though he's still pretty shit on it) he's trying to find a way to kill himself because he believes that fmc would be happy if he's gone plus he can no longer stand his shitty life. This man seriously needs to improve his communication skill and actually have a deep talk with the fmc
