she's not in love with him. not fully. seeing the comments before i read, i thought she was being stupid and just moaning in suffering alone. she's not even in love with the dude yet!! if she tells the ML that that's his son, she also fears her son will have to be his heir which is that LAST thing she wants. no wonder she doesn't want to tell him.
i read somewhere that a couple dated for 5 years and broke it off because the bf really liked long calls at night and that was really tiring. eventually, he married someone he dated for 6 months because the girl really liked that aspect of him. in the end, its all about preferences.
for normal people, we really don't want this kind of clingy lover. but for others, they may really like these actions and understand them as a sign of love. ML acknowledges that he's possessive and jealous, but he doesn't overdo it when she gets uncomfortable and they both eventually talk things out. FL actually likes his straightforward possessiveness. its refreshing that they're not in a perfect relationship but they're well matched.
tldr; its yaoi/BL as in gay, but without the love part.
its like hannibal the tv show. the fans are always saying that hannibal is in love with will and vice versa kind of thing, despite hannibal being a serial killed and all. this is how i feel about killing stalking. its a psychological thriller but the homoerotic stuff is in your face. it's not about romance, it's a thriller. they are waging a psychological war on each other the entire time, toeing the line between morality and immorality. if this was a story about a straight couple, it would be a psychological thriller, NOT a romance.
im just confused how you get a FL who's personality was extremely vain and violent to a grass eating crybaby.. like she retained none of her old characteristics except her trauma
I mean I don’t think she will just continue her old way she saw how that got her in the “past” (or future whatever you wanna call it.) it is a bit unrealistic since she a crybaby after being so violent but i guess it probably because her family did die so seeing them all alive affected her alot and she was 5 years old at the time so that also explains it. She wanna change her future not repeat it so it normal for her to change her personality and not hit/kill her maids.
the FL is going to go through hardship after hardship and everyone around her is an asshole including the ML so you're going to need to have a stomach for major angst. its even worse than remarried empress bc she doesn't have anyone, not one ally on her side. she constantly wants to commit suicide bc her spirit has just been broken apart for so long
disregarding that this smut is supposed to be trash, bdsm is an act in pleasure, not something you do because it suits your "strong, confident woman personality". idk why everyone is putting the blame on the FL when ML is clearly the one to blame here. she shouldn't need to not ask for harassment just bc she's into femdom.
he basically dragged her into a nonconsenting play by trying to force her into a role she's not into AND committed sexual harassment and blackmail. ive seen bad smuts but this isn't even one of those 'he's touching me but I'm feeling it now' she didn't even like it while he was feeling her up the whole time.
honestly he was portrayed as this "savior" for the girls because they were in shit situations but honestly it's basically hopping from a dumpster to a trashcan on fire. if the author wanted to create an ending where the girls chose polygamy then make it make SENSE. its as if they all act like none of their actions hurting each other ever happened. i honestly thought she was gonna choose to be a single mom in the end for a second. but she didn't.
what was the point of this? honestly what. was. the point.
