the count roen who is Ian's father was he married to the countess who is really nice to Ian and Kate and treats him like her son? I totally forgot all the family relations especially with Ian's complicated family. he mentioned another man who is different from that count so is the current count his uncle and he raised him and that countess is his aunt? i was sure the current countess was his stepmom who loved him even tho he was illegitimate and product of cheating because it was different from how most people would react.

What I remembered was, Ian father had an affair with Ian's mother. When he appeared, the countess accepted him because she almost going insane because of a miscarriage (or her child died...one of the two) and she's unable to have another child (I think). Ian's like a salvation for the countess. The current count is Ian's half brother which is the legitimate son. Both the brother and mother did love Ian tho.
Only the father is a trash

he could have said something a little more romantic idk it felt so cold and calculating. he wasn't like "since it was you I knew being married to you and raising a child would be what I've wanted. it might have been different if it was anyone else" I'm holding out on doo joon saying something better than this in next chapter. ( ̄へ ̄)

I understood his point but like really it made it sound as if it was ONLY done for obligation. She had the right conditions as a person so he felt it was ideal to just marry her. but like he could have added that he did have feelings for her or something you know? the way he said it was like a business contract. heewon already knows all about marriages that occur out of obligation because thats how her parents got married and she saw how that turned out seeing her mom be nothing but resentful. his words hit the nail on the head of her fears. it was like he was gonna marry whether she developed feelings or not. I think she was hoping he would say at least not only did he feel it was right to marry her but he was more than willing because it was her who he has feelings for :/
I swear someone said Yulan was the ML but I can't remember.

.SPOILER
so.I looked back through the comments and I'll try to collect as many spoilers here as I can
so from what I saw
-Yulan was the one who turned back time and he remembers the first timeline(i can't remember if we knew that already and I don't wanna go back and reread)
Ahhh,I see, but just to sum all of that-- Yulan is the ML right? I just wanna know this---
I don't know 100% but I'm pretty sure he is the ML from the spoilers others have given
I'm gonna do some research and update this post and let you guys know what I find on everything brb
I'm following this thread now
O ma gosh! I'd love datt! My curious self depends on you now, don't disappoint this hooman right here, matee(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
lol yes sorry got caught up with stuff I'll try my best to gather the info by tomorrow or the day after that
OKAY SO THIS IS WHAT I HAVE SO FAR
SPOILERS

honestly I had to scroll through 40 pages of opinions with spoilers mixed in to grasp a little bit of what was going on. honestly skimmed a lot so I don't have a whole play by play so from what I understand
- YULAN IS THE ML and he proposed to her (thats as far as I know on that)
- The manga really toned down things
- The novel is generally really dark and honestly a tragedy. rereading the abuse Violett went through is so awful and the toll and trauma it takes on her is truly sad
- at what point MJ decides she likes Yulan
-Yulan hates MJ and her whole family obviously
- Yulan tells off MJ about the abuse Vio suffered and MJ is shocked (idk)
-Yulan and Marin(the maid) are both in love with Vio and yandere
-Vio at some point realizes her feelings for Yulan during a breakdown :/
- the grandfather treats Vio properly (tbh don't know where he was this whole time while Vio is constantly suffering)
- at one point Grandfather summons Vio's dad not sure what they talked about but probably about Vio
-Vio's dad comes home furious and violent and starts beating Vio. Vio can't even get up and MJ blocks the dad and Vio barely manages to crawl away
-she escapes to some place she and Yulan used to go to and Yulan looks and finds her
-Vio is extremely destroyed and basically lost her will to live. I think she saysdshe wants to die
- Yulan proposes to her and I think is gonna try to really protect her now. Yulan seems to have kind of stood back a lot from I've seen but i'm not sure
- I didn't see what goes on after that
tbh hope the dad suffers horribly because WTF. Vio's parents were horribly abusive to her her whole life. and her stepmom is a homewrecker who looked away while Vio was abused. and MJ is just stupid idk wtf is wrong with her
anyway since the spoilers were super confusing for me I'm gonna actually try to read the novel and I will start a new thread and summarize everything there at a later point there's 100+ chapters so I need some time. I'll notify anyone following this thread when I start a new one:) wish me luck I don't cry my eyes out

The sister needs to rot in hell. Everyone in the ml family is going straight to hell along with the prince and his butler. I hate the butler more then the prince cause the mf is trying to force the ml and prince into a relashionship and we can clearly see the fl isn't into him. Also have you noticed that the sister in both lives has chosen people the ml clearly has feeling for? First the prince and now Yulen smh
*relationship
i noticed that too. MJ always wants what Vio has
She watches their dad treat her like trash and she sees nothing wrong with that smh
:0 wow wth
