Knowing what she’s going to do in the future really pisses me off. She’s so desperate ...

Spoilers (I may be overreacting, but it’s my opinion that she was doing a bit much.)

On the day they’re supposed to get married, she pretended to fake her death/a serious injury. She had fake blood and everything near her abdomen. The Duke looked extremely devastated once he found out what happened, and when she was pretending to be bedridden with injuries he asked the doctor if she was going to be alright, and they continued to lie talking about how she would be limp, and have a facial deformity, etc. but he didn’t care, as long as she was okay. She was contemplating if she went too overboard because of the concern the Duke was showing, but then she was like “oh well.”
They then showed her little sob story, but to be honest I did not feel an ounce of pity for her. I felt too bad for the Duke. I don’t even want to imagine how hurt he will be once he finds out that she went to the extent of pretending to fake such a thing.

I of course understand her not wanting to marry him, but going as far as to fake something that severe just really bugged me. The male lead truly loves her.

Oof. Thank you for the spoilers... I'll probably drop it now because of the FML's actions. ;]

Hmm.......well, maybe she went a bit overboard but he's also practically threatening her to marry him, so her desperation seems fair.

Although as a reader, I feel for him because we see both perspectives...

Just, I feel like he should start over by properly courting her instead of trying to immediately bind her to him just because he wants her.

Oh, and to add a bit of salt to the wound.... I should’ve worded a bit better. He SAW her lying on the ground with the fake blood around her abdomen. (;

While it’s may be true that her desperation is valid, what she did could have been trauma inducing. Seeing someone he loves in that state may stick with him causing him to have PTSD, though that’s probably unlikely seeing the way the author is going about the story. The way she was so nonchalant about it makes me even angrier, but I then again have to consider her position. I also do agree he should have tried to properly court her, he doesn’t seem very experienced with love.

Thank you for the spoiler.

Maybe I am biased since he seems forceful and I would hate that kind of oneside pushyness in really life.I can understand that her death can cause trauma but it seems like she has tried a lot to get him to reconsider the marriage, wanted him to forget their first night which he refused, said she needed time which he refused, tried to say she liked some else which he didn't like either. I understand that pretending to die after knowing his past of his whole family dying is really insensitive but she really doesn't want to marry him and he just goes "what".

Like there first night was adorable ( as long as we ignore that he slept with a gal that was waisted, like thats dubious consent since he just had to have her) and he even said he would try to get her to love him. Yet all I see is him backing her into a corner and pushing the marriage forward against her will. Like yes he really cutely loves her but his way of trying to have her isn't commendable in any way. To me it seems somewhat like a stacker and even if that type of person genuinly loved me a I wouldn't just go ok fine go ahead and force me to do what I don't want. So I don't really like either of their actions. He is being way to pushy and it's not really romantic, I don't blame the girl for faking her death. She can be more considerate once he starts to listen to her side as well if that makes sense. He has a really annoying won't take no for an answer or it's my way or the highway mentality where I just can't blame her for trying to get out of a forced marriage.

I think that LatteGratte is just feeling overly sympathetic for the ML...which to me, sorry I know it's not the intention, but it comes off as victim-blaming the FL. Sure, she could have caused him trauma but the opposite could be said where he could have also caused her trauma, too, after everything he's done so far. He's consistently, persistently, won't listen to a thing she has to say. He has a crush on her, and it's cute, whatever, but he doesn't LOVE her. He likes the idea of being with her, and the way he's so indignant about possessing her is just toxic masculinity.

Like Leta Cent said, if a guy tried to restrain me in all the ways the ML did, even I would do something desperate AND insensitive, because at this point I would've been backed into a wall. They can both act like considerate adults after they hash out the elephant in the room first.

Excuse me? Victim blaming? The fuck are you on about? They are both in the wrong.

I stated clearly that it’s valid for her to want to get out of a marriage she doesn’t want. I just don’t believe that faking a massive injury like that/near death is unnecessary.

*necessary

(￣∇￣")
Alrighty then, pray tell me what else could she have done instead?
It' already gotten to /this/ extreme and she /still/ can't break it off with him.

Can you really fault her for having to go this far?

Pack her shit and leave.

Really?

He did threaten to ruin her whole family you know (whether she takes that seriously or not). So easy...she's just gonna have to run away from her problems, now.

She has to run, for something that's not her fault...She shouldn't even have to run, let alone be put into this shitty position.... Is she gonna run from him her whole life??? Even though a man of his position could probably easily track her, cut off her escape routes, and leave her impoverished.... (I'm not saying he would, but men of his position could).

╮(￣▽￣)╭ I'm not trying to be the asshole here, but............here's the reality of feudal men in position of a lot of power. I'm gonna go fake my death so I don't have to keep replying to this thread.

Ciao.

So I’ve read all the comments and would just like to say I see both perspectives. At first my emotions took over when I found out what she did. That was really insensitive of her. The trauma she could have caused or did cause him. Is not to be taken lightly. However, he should have explained why he had feelings for her bc at this point she’s only aware of the fact that she is being forced into a marriage that she didn’t want. She didn’t have many options left bc he was a powerful man that was threatening her. I know he isn’t socially aware of how to properly court someone. But that doesn’t excuse both of their behaviors.

One is ignoring the others opinions and the other is painfully rejecting them in a way that goes too far. This could have been solved better with communication but the ml kept denying her. Either way they’re just characters. We can choose sides but at the end of the day they were both wrong. Don’t know if I’m going to continue reading this bc I don’t know how they could forgive each other after all they’ve done. Idk I just wouldn’t want to regret being with someone who doesn’t listen to me and another who hurts me. Oh well.

BRAVO!! PERFECTION!!!

THANK YOU.
