they literally both molested her. no actual, sane, real-life woman would allow them to continue being close to her or even REMOTELY fall in love with them. this isn't cute AT ALL, it is straight up fucking creepy. if you're in an office setting and a dude pulls out your bare fucking boobs to fondle them, you CALL HR AND THE POLICE. PERIODT.
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.

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.
