i thought her family had a chance of redemption like penelopes family but nope. theyre horrible people. anyways i need to prepare my heart for when Jin gets rejected, we all know its honna happen and its gonna be SAD

I wouldn't give specific spoilers, but let's just say that he's on Yvonne's side and trusts her more than Penelope. He's also very very quick to put the blame on her whenever an incident happens. Like, if you think he's already doing this victim blaming now, it's going to get worse in the future.
Also, the only reason he abused her is because he (surprisingly) loves her. He already realized that he was interested in her the first time they met, so he abuses and rejects her to deny his feelings.

@balmy17 here's the whole novel. The translation quality is so-so but it's easy to understand.

Sure, you can say that he's brainwashed after they met Yvonne, but his abuse of her started way before he got brainwashed. While the 2nd brother also did abuse her, but he decided to convey all of his anger, regret, thoughts, insecurity and so on to Penelope sincerely and he matures and takes responsibility for his mistakes. Derek never said a single word of apology at all. Even after the brainwashing was no longer effective.

Yeah, but his abuse of her started way before he was brainwashed. While the 2nd brother conveys his thoughts, anger, regret and feelings sincerely to Penelope, Derrick never said a single word of apology at all. No sincere apology for disregarding her when she was in the prison, no sincere apology for misunderstanding her during the poison case, none at all. And he also never sincerely apologized for his abuses. While his younger brother matures and takes responsibility for his own mistakes, Derrick doesn't. Out of all the five male leads, I hate him the most.

okay yall bear with me, i read it. im at a reasonable chapter (havent finished it yet) and even though we all thought itd be creepy (instead its more cringey or goves me second hand embarrasment) the top is swéet (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ also his dick is the size of a tree trunk (⊙…⊙ ) the age gap and fluff kinda gets to me but the story is nice

While reading this I found several Easter eggs I'm embarrassed I didn't notice sooner. one was The couple at the hospital when they found out hye sung was pregnant. The couple looked exactly like them but with switched hair colors and the beta was a woman. 'blonde dojin' had a baby on his back while rhe woman looked like she was almost ready for birth.
Secondly in the chapters where they plotted to send him abroad we see a blonde woman with short hair rushing out. she looks like hye sumgs mom, but i could be wrong. although the agency specialized in helping betas so its a probability
Thirdly I highly doubt that the artist will end the webtoon without our second couple having a child or dojun maming a break through with his research

awwh, how sweet that hes showing affection... idgaf i wouldnt ever forget how my father ordered my execution because he thought i was illegitimate (how could i control that...) also he showed a random girl more affection than your own child after a couple of years of knowing her. i really hope he remembers the crap he did because it seems like he came back in time too or had a dream about what had actually happened.

SPOILER
He actually didn't doubt Keira is his daughter but since she has no power spirit and the prophecy told the one who doesn't have the power would bring the country into ruin, he killed he for the sake of the country. The other girl actually his unborn child that turn into devil cause his wife made contract with the devil. she is pregnant when she accused of being infertile and kicked out from the house by Keira grandfather and the duke didn't bother to investigate cause he is 'neutral'.
He also the one who turn back the time, after the devil wreak havoc the country, not because he want to bring back Keira to life but for the sake of the country, he want to prevent the tragedy, but because the magic imperfect, he doesn't remember the future like Keira, he only dream about it.

I don't even know how to feel about this. On one hand, he tried what was best for the country (meaning, he was doing whatever he could to save millions of people) but on the other hand: THAT'S YOUR DAUGHTER, YOU FUCK FACE. You'd think that he would at least do whatever he can to save her, since she's his kid, instead of just shrugging and accepting it because she appears not to have any magic. Especially because he knows she's his daughter, so there was still a small possibility that she might still have the power spirit. I can't imagine not doing everything I can when it's a matter of life and death for my kid.
okay, i hate the main character now. he used the girl and MURDERED HER
