I understand the there was a curse making others forget about MC, but there is a point where that just cannot justify the ML. All the suffering that MC had to go through because of him... I can’t bring myself to like him even till the end

The misunderstanding/love triangle/jealousy is so freaking strong in this novel. It takes up a good amount of drama.

The triangle is around MC-ML-Fake MC (person who took MC's identity). I'll liken it to how tr*shta was terrible but it was really Sovieshu's fault. I felt like this love triangle was watered-down remarried empress.

And as a result, the second-ML-syndrome is so real. Most of the comments on ridi are all about dumping the ML and just eloping with 2ndML or the villain

*******

For those who want super super spoilers:

********

ML finds out MC is his ex-wife at ch116. He suspected it earlier but ch116 is when he says it out loud to MC.

The author does dish the angst back to the ML and it's almost enough, but unfortunately, there's not enough groveling for me to forgive the pain he gave MC. 😤

I can see how others can feel otherwise, but I'd like to remind people that ML was cruel to the MC during the curse. Abusive mentally and physically and there was no excuse for it, especially since all their other friends were so nice. I wish ML suffered a little more, but MC is a bigger person than me and unfortunately it makes sense.

The way loves is just beautiful and the way he loves the ML is just so heartbreaking mostly because that's exactly how someone in love would respond in a one-sided relationship

Even when he was at his breaking point he just responds with "I'm tired". But he still doesn't allow ML to just waltz back into his life like the ab*se didn't happen.

Especially at the last chapter where he says how he wanted ML to hurt as much as he did but a bigger part of him never wants to be the cause of his grief. I think we've all been there.
