Wait what- the FL got killed here or is that from another manhwa?
nah, is the other manhwa 'shadow queen' in the 1st life. I'm just comparing, since both have the same trope 'the weak powerless ML being mean to protect the FL'. I just don't understand why Edhart never told the truth, does it kill him to say 'there is a spy, your father threatened to kill you and our child if I don't ignore you'. I get it that he separated EL from Reina since she can't touch him, at least he could say 'I'll give him back to you after you get better', and how does he expect her to get better when she has no support system, no doctor, no friends, no family,, he know about her abuse and 'curse', it's not something you just can snap out of it.
Seeing how he assign an escort to protect his wife, look like he is not utterly powerless, in the novel he also ordered the butler to take care of his wife, why he didn't do the same in the past, he didn't tried to do anything but letting the one who threaten his wife and children do everything he pleases. and he also has a loyal subordinate in his house too. Unlike in Shadow Queen, when every guard, servant and maid in the palace was under his father in law influence, so he couldn't help but ignored his wife to protect her, at least he is redeemable cause he tried another way to protect her by attaching his shadow, earning money and making deal so he could change all the knight and servant inside the palace and replace it with his own people, digging secret tunnel for the escape route, he also tried to tell the FL about the danger but she didn't want to listen, resulted in the FL got killed in the end.
