Lmaooo I was going to answer then I thought about it and I don’t think I know either… TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!! To my knowledge I believe the main villain is the first prince ( or maybe it was the uncle guy..) his goal is obviously becoming king which he can’t rn cus his younger brother has a strong backing from the empress. He teams up with a bunch of other nobles like the mls uncle and the fat guy who lies about the fls appearance. Uh the uncle guy wants the be the heir to the dukedom and needs to get rid of the current ruler and heir by poisoning them both and getting their doctor to focus on something else

That's pretty much it... it's the crown prince's brother, he was supposed to be next in line for the throne but when the crown prince was born he took his place because the brother's mother was a commoner, so to take back the thrown the brother started plans for a rebelion, by getting rid of mc as a baby so that her father would go search for her and he wouldn't have time to take care of ML and his mother , and they could poison them and his uncle's son could become the duke after ML dies and start the rebelion.
Can anyone tell me what happened? I stopped reading at some point and only came back to see if they discovered they already found out that they are father and daughter (which is very obvious from chapter one) I stopped before the male lead appeared I think? or maybe when they still haven’t developed feelings so I just wanna ask:
Who is the villain/mastermind?
Why did the duke spread lies about the baby being blonde hair and separated MC from the parents?
What is the goal of the villains?
