Read previous write ups if you want more context. I don't really wanna reread the excellent lead up just to know it ends in a dumpster fire so I'm just gonna give the ending here:
Keitha decides to stay with Seyard in the LAST CHAPTER. After her and Gale's second grand escape attempt there is a big earthquake and Keitha freaks out thinking Seyard went into the concert hall when trying to follow her decoys which collapses. He didn't and actually "let her go" and Keitha is like wow he's a changed man ily EVEN THO LITERALLY A FEW CHAPTERS EARLIER SHE WAS SAYING STUFF LIKE "it might be comfortable to give up entirely, but that feels like losing myself forever" and that he was "a man who claimed to love Keitha but would break her will to have his way". Seyard does compare himself to Princess Arta and sees that she's disgusting and they may be more similar than he realizes but literally that's it??????? He barely has any character growth (at least in my perspective this summary is biased as hell yall sorry). There's side stories but I am not reading them cause they're still together.
Now Featuring: me malding over the ending
Like ok he "let's" you escape but he should've done that in the first place??? Like I'm an advocate for ppl changing or whatever but he needs mental help not a relationship with a kid on the way!!!! Keitha my girl what happened like it would've been such a good dissection of obsession and dealing with grief after someone who you loved who treated you badly passes away but whatever. And all the stuff i praised the story for just goes kaput too. I pray to God the manwha changes the ending but I highly doubt that. Also like screw Gale ig?? Like what happens to my guy he does so much and hes actually genuinely nice and gives Keitha real choices not to manipulate her?? Normally I don't root for the second ml or whatever in these stories cause I can figure out who's endgame but I just can't believe she stays with Seyard. Wtf happened to "If You Wish to Keep Me"? Like girl no one should be keeping you I thought that was the arc you were going on. Anyways whatever so sorry I hyped this up but maybe it'll be some ppls cup of tea if you like the toxic lovers thing

Thank you so much for your summaries! You saved me from wasting my time on yet another manwha where the FL fails to break free from an unhealthy abusive relationship.
I have yet to come across a realistic novel, where two people can actually go seperate ways in the end. I swear authors come up with the dumbest shit so the MCs will end up together, no matter what.
I'm glad that most of the time that doesn't apply to the real world. But I cant help but wonder what these hundreds of toxic love stories with the same disappointing endings teaches young women.
That you can never leave an abusive relationship? That, as long as he says sorry, he can do to you whatever he wants?
sighs
I'm so unhappy with this.
Is there a novel out there where FL cherishes herself for once actually manages to leave ML for good?
I know some manga where the love interest shifts to 2nd ML halfway through the story. But are there any korean or chinese novels / manhwas with that outcome?
I'm lowkey so peeved how the story ended I'm so sorry I led you guys astray. But maybe it'll be some of your guy's cup of tea idk. I reread the parts to write a summary and it just made me so mad omg.. I really thought the author was cooking but in the end it seems it was only I in the kitchen
