Herwin is the end game ML. Unfortunately, he is seriously obtuse. For a long time, he believed himself to be in love with another girl named Arista, and assumed that his feelings for Lucia were simply those of a close friend. But Herwin becomes incredibly jealous when he sees Lucia is about to marry another guy.

It's Arista who talks sense into Herwin and informs him that he's actually in love with Lucia, not her. (Arista also has a love interest of her own, Lucia's brother Lucas. So she isn't a rival character.)

Lucia's new fiancé candidate is a guy named Bern. Bern turns out to be a very nice and likeable person; the only problem is that he's passionately in love with another woman named Celine. Celine had been forced to marry an older man because of family debt, so Bern couldn't have her. However, Celine's older husband dies in the end, so Celine becomes free to marry Bern.

So everyone ends up with the person they really wanted. (However, Herwin is still very, very salty that Bern received Lucia's first kiss...) The story ends with Lucia married to Herwin and discovering she's pregnant.

    I mean we are only 20 chapters in, but this is the most obvious outcome based on everything that happened so far. am I satisfied with this outcome? kinda, since everyone gets their happy ending, but I do would have welcomed it, if they had added something to the story that would have been more out of the line to make the story stand out among everything we've already got

    just to make sure, I'm not hating on the development or the final couples, it just would have been nice to go through all different kind of emotions and theories before finally realizing what the end would look like

    I'm glad Berne is not the secret baddie 2nd ML. I was scared that he will turn out as someone else cause I'm liking him as the kind and considerate Berne.

    I was guessing that maybe Arista might end up with Lucia brother hahaha I didn't know my guess is correct! Imagining him and his boss (crown prince) end up as brother-in-laws - it would be fun to watch!
