I like how the ml is actually aware of the bad things he's done in the past to the fl and questions if he even has the right to be this happy with her.
In some manwha's people act like all the past abuse was just some water under the bridge and they all go about happily.
So it's nice to see he feels a lot of guilt and is trying his best to make up for his actions, even if the fl doesn't remember the past.

What tf. I went into reading this thinking it would be like the usual romance stories I've read. But instead I got like 5 adrenaline rushes along with some serotonin...
This is quite good tho. But the last few chapters of taeun and his escapades felt like I was speeding along the plot and hit a brick wall when I finished.

The emperor flipping scares the crap out of me. Plus he's literally got people chasing after the fl who are highly skilled and could easily kill her. They want to kidnap her, any means necessary.
And that's the logic he's going for? "Come back now or I'll force you"... no. Just no. The fl is pregnant and afraid for her life. She's under a lot of physical and mental stress because of you and is still trying to healthily carry a baby through that!
At this point I feel like he'll just go crazy and kill people if she isn't found... plus he wants to raise the child as the successor. He's still a tyrant so imagine the trauma the child might face if he or she is exposed to that.
OKAY THEORY
The title is called the villain discovered my identity. But the story villian hasn't found out she is a girl. SO what if the mc of the story. Is the actual villain, because the story was centred around him, so the story was only really saw from his perspective.
ive been thinking about this too, but maybe its just that letio grew up around thieves. it is also said that in the novel, the fl (i forgot her name) is the one who taught letio the etiquette, which is now selena's job.
but it could be though, letio has been suspicious lately ┗( T﹏T )┛
About your theory, i think, i just think that the title 'the villain discovered my identity' i think the 'villain' is pertaining to Letio since he did know Selene's real identity from the start even though she was pretending to be Celestine. And the prince still doesn't know she's a girl unlike Letio ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
This!
This what..?
Oh sorry I didn't explain more, what I mean is I agree with the theory you wrote above (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
