To be fair I think there's another manga which was pretty popular called something like my horrible boss, and it's a groundhog day plot where the boss falls in love with his subordinate (as they are the only two who remember the day restarting repeatedly) and learns to be a better person to try and match up with her - but in the end he lets her go so she can be with the far more compatible partner she was already flirting with - so on one hand it's an obvious plot, on the other hand there are exceptions to the obvious plotline rule

Lol why is everyone so upset? The argument I keep seeing is “the knight waited for her for years, he should get the girl.” LMFAO. Okay, I mean if life was all flowers and rainbows, then maybe.
I don’t dispute they’d be cute together and I thought he was the male lead too, but the moment the story was about the king needing to fall in love in order for the no marriage law to be removed, it was clear he’d be the endgame for the female lead lol. Like it’s such an obvious plotline that I don’t understand why people are so mad about it to the point of dropping it.
