I feel like the only way it could end well is if they transfer the revenge onto the grand prince who ordered him to kill yeonjos's family to begin with. That would be a more meaningful target than heeryang who just carried out the order, it would allow them to be on the same side, and heeryang could atone somewhat for what he did.
Obviously unacceptable in the real world or in most romantic stories, but in the context of this genre (where rape has become very normalized for reasons unknown to me) I think that would be the only way to make the story work if the writer wants them to end up together. If the writer doesn't want them to end up together, that's fine by me. I just want revenge for yeonjo and it seems like he's given up on trying to kill heeryang, so they'll have to kill the prince for me to be satisfied by the end. Also that would mean a lot more chapters with these characters working towards that goal and I want this story to keep going for as long as possible. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I'd also add that the problem in their relationship isn't only the rape and abuse. The male lead literally MUREDERED HIS ENTIRE FAMILIY and did it in front of his eyes! They literally should NOT be together at all. They are the definition of toxic trauma bonding. But that's what makes the story interesting, is watching them somehow fall in love despite that. It's not realistic, but it is entertaining.
After a lot of searching, I figured out its only a bonus poster from the Chara Selection March 2017 BL magazine. So its not a manga.(/TДT)/ Ducks are Nice
Oh lol thank you! Yeah I could not figure it out. But it does kinda suck, I would definitely read a story about them! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

What about the rape? The abuse?
