Girl, you say you got the ind of a 20 year old and you know he's just a tresspasser, so why are you so afraid and agreeing to go with him, so darn easily????? Why you acting like that scrawny butler of your previous in-laws was some undefeatable threat, like a secretly trained assassin (he certainly doesn't look like it????)

IIRC we didn't get any flashback with the butler... and she faced the black haired duke who at face value seems quite a lot scarier than that pathetic butler? Even that arsonist dude they met seems scarier than that butler? When she's already overcome the experience of accompanying the duke to the country's worst prison to see a death row inmate... letting her plan go down the drain just because of some scrawny lone butler who *trespassed* on the scary duke's territory, completely on his own, is anticlimatic, when one as a reader still hasn't been told about there being anything specially scary about that butler.

he was the right hand man-therefore most likely he was involved directly with the harassment from the staff, abuse from the family, and poisoning. People who have been abused tend to have tendencies toward accepting abuse as normal. She did not want the ML abused and took control of the situation the best she could. For example, when the ML father runs her into the ground with training she doesn't complain even when she collapses. That is not what a regular well adjusted person from a loving family usually does.

I see now, what happened to this family: the smartest bro became an antisocial recluse who didn't want to engage in business after he lost his child (and wife?), the 2nd smartest bro chose the woman he loved over a profitable career as a noble merchant, and all the family had left for heir was then the least bright, but most greedy of all, moron of a son: Harvenic

Her ex husband is so dumb that it's not even interesting. Now thinking of getting her back? Lmao, how the eff do you fantasie about doing that?? You canno longer force her to come back to you, because now she's got a powerful high-rank noble family backing her, and you can't "win her heart back" (yeah right... never had it in the 1st place) now that she's got a hottie blond royal wooing her all over the place. This ex is so boooooring
The fake "thread of fate" connecting mc and ml (as in, the thread made by the evil spirit) definitely seems like it needs to go: both the gangster's shaman and the ML's young uncle (a young shaman) agreed on it. That's two unrelated shamans agreeing with each other, despite the fact that they've never spoken to each other:
The gangster's shaman said in chapter 59 that cutting that fake thread off would help "save 2 people's lives", which would be enough to "heal the 2nd ML's thread", that had ended up weakened and snapped "due to bad karma". Ergo, that "saving 2 people's lives" was meant to be taken here as "making good karma" = doing a "good deed", and not just as saving their *love* lives, but their *literal* lives. And THAT coincides with what the OTHER shaman, the ml's uncle, said, about the fake thread attracting the evil spirit that made it, and that still wants to cash in on that debt that the ML unknowingly incurred (as a child) by asking that evil spirit to make that thread: the price to pay was to let the spirit take both his and the mc's lives, after the spirit's part of the deal (to let the ml have a relationship with the mc) was already considered "fulfilled" (which is why I also think the ml dumped the mcfor this reason: in order to save him and himself from being killed by the evil spirit, when it came to collect the debt).
that's insightful, thanks! i hope the uncle can still give us more details as to what can be done to avoid the bad spirit retaliating back (idc about the blonde, hope his dck gets cut off) and affecting Han-gyul's life and re-blossoming career.
