I went ahead and read some of the novel and geez,
spoilers !
but fl does eventually get the will to actually want to divorce (on her own) and of course ml is like no you can't despite not having an actual answer as to why she can't because why would he admit to liking her or whatever, then there's some big reveals about fl that make divorce even more possible but he still doesn't allow it, and it gets to a point where she even tries to run away but he doesn't allow her,
it's very messy and confusing on his part, and fl is just as confused about everything becuz the man who treated her like a nuisance suddenly wants her around despite 'hating' her, very tedious to read, I haven't read enough yet but divorce looks like it would have to be forced upon him atp
the novel summary i read made me want to projectile vomit on the authors face, even the ending is just cruel and unusual punishment for the female lead,
spoilers, you know how she's assumed infertile? she's not, but the baby she does have with the male lead ends up stillborn anyways, so she ends up sorta kinda adopting her cheating ex's kid instead ?... just so .. not even worth the read for an ending like that
the novel author needs to have tomatoes thrown at them
