I don't know about in the manga, but in the novel there was a second male character that comes much later, maybe about 2-3 arcs later, that is revealed to be evil (not really evil, but working for a female love rival to plot against the mc) I don't know of any other characters that fall for Filmina. But there is the female love rival that tries to kill the mc.
Let me tell you that the amazing plot device known as "love rival" is wasted on this story.
The main couple isn't strengthened by these obstacles.
There's basically one dynamic from the very beginning: danger appears, filmina protects edi with her own power, edi gets really angry and tries to make filmina do exactly what he wants, filmina isn't fazed and is happy that she got hurt instead of him, he doesn't try to protect her and only tries to control her
he doesn't grow mentally and it isn't filmina's job to help him either. of course, she should also mature a little bit, but it's mostly edi's fault.

spoilers for anyone on the fence.

eventually filmina gets cursed and edi doesn't even pay attention to her at all and she can't go to sleep without seeing nightmares and edi even tries to hide the fact that filmina is his wife, which backfires and ends up putting her in great danger, she was almost killed by a psycho love rival. edi never acts like he loves her, he is the most annoying and selfish tsundere i have ever seen

not really a happy ending considering he acts like a dick rn in the novel and the author makes filmina tolerate him,,, in real life no one would act so selfless and understanding, she never gets to get angry or talk back to him, she just has to be with him. her undying love and devotion to him doesn't make sense, it isn't explained further than the fact that he is a beautiful person, which is shoved down our throats in every single interaction that involves him. "he can say this, do that, all because he has an otherworldly godly beauty that is like a night fairy". author-san, once is enough,,,, when you say it in every chapter it doesn't add anything to his character. he's literally one dimensional. it's lazy and bad writing at this point :////
what set the daughter off was seeing the hair pin in the store - subtly implying w/o words that the hairpin wasn't an heirloom or the mother's treasure. the daughter realized that her relationship with her mother was so hollow, and so fake. she couldn't handle that "imperfection", so her mind went blank and she regained her sense of self after murdering her mother.
now, she lays in the bushes covered in her mother's blood, with a shadow over her face. fushi looks on at her with pity, if not outright disdain. she then has the gall, the arrogance, to ask him to be her friend.
a lack of friends or people close to her was not the problem. she has people she can confide in, who accept her. however, she believes, since these people are "imperfect", she cannot truly rely on them. she chooses to place these people next to her to have the outward appearance of a perfect girl with friends. like accessories.
she believes that since fushi is immortal and worshiped like a god, he must be perfect. thus, she asks him for friendship.
but what she's really asking for is a convenient doll.
Damn fam. You really hit that nail right on the head with this.
WOAH the way you write it makes me feel more scared for whats in in the next chapter aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
