She was straight up in telling her that while she's hiding stuff and doubting kuroki due to her issues they won't move forward. So she should be honest if she really likes him, and give him a chance to come clean about the past if he wants to. That is all she can do, and all she has control over, in a relationship, to try to make it work.
Now, kuroki should reciprocate her honesty, because it would be difficult to trust kuroki if the FL is finding out most of the details or their relationship from her cheating ex-bf and his lying fiancee

Cain wants to protect rina the way she doesn't want it, which we know edward tried before. Edward has learned to respect her opinion and expertise, but cain is challenging his leader for this issue, knowing that rino is the one that wanted to work like that? Well, i'm on edward's side here, even though I love cain(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Shin is the ML, rather than the token prince who she 'met in the garden, who thought she was an angel', or the prince who 'condemned her but then realised his errors'. That is now so cliche and overplayed. She is spending time with and slowly developing feelings for shin, and they are communicating. I love that, they need to be together. Can someone tell me if they do??

What authors think when they make the MCs thoroughly dumb about romance, even when they are in their 30s. Is it a trope that makes FLs more attractive? By them being in constant confusion about someone's interest, and then denial once it seems like a relationship would be great between them? I mean, no female, who is even faintly realistic, would behave like this. She's annoying the hell out of me, he's been nothing but a respectful sweetheart to her.

From what I recall, there is not one single harassment or rape scene, at least not by the male lead, only the ex-bf, who is a proven piece of s**t. And I like her composure in the face of the ML's ex-gf too. And the fact they didn't make the FL irrationally jealous over his past gf or the fact that he hadn't confided in her about the ex-gf. Mangas tend to do that for padding the chapters. I like that even though she has self-esteem and trust issues, she is looking forward to a marriage with him, and to gaining his trust and love over time.
I don't like the black haired 4th prince fiance for her either, but I am especially against the blonde prick. He snitched on her when she went out to the casino, and now threatened her to dance with her. I'd take pushy and mean MLs who are always on the FLs side over this entitled rat, and I'd take warm and sweet deer-boy over both of these any day.
Honestly, his behavior is similar to dwight schrute from the office (from the little i've seen of it), and he shouldn't get the FL coz he's getting more screentime and is more attractive looking. A jerk, who can't take no for an answer, is a jerk ヽ(`Д´)ノ
