I don't understand how this "ruined" his entire life for her to force him to marry her. Shouldn't it have been beneificial to him? I get she was chosen to be queen and all but she did choose someone in the king's bloodline. Yeah, his reputation is bad but...??? IDK. I like how she's scheming though she's innocent. I want both of them to grow more. I'm glad this hurdle about the past lover is gone and it was just about tying up loose ends.

Well he was “forced” to marry her since she told basically everyone that he was in love with her and manipulated her whole family and the king that they’re a couple and that they should get married because she didn’t want to leave her country. He was trapped by a random woman, and even tho his life and reputation was not good, he did not get a say in the situation, he just had to play along.

Yeah, FL manipulated everyone to get what she wanted but he could've used it to his advantaged and play along. I felt like it would have been more ruinous if he had a good rep but he didn't. He could've used having the "White Deer" to pull up his bootstraps and get his business up and running which she had offered a valid point on her offer to marry. I felt like the more he was so caught up in whatever life he didn't have made him feel like it was ruined. IDK. ML need to be a bit smarter to me.
What happened between those two where he can't drink no more from his link!?
