In his own way ML showed more than once that he likes the MC before chapter 34. They will never be really cheese and very sweet because one was raised by criminals and the other by a very cold and cruel lord father/leader of a noble sect but ML definitely likes MC. ML admited that he was ready to sent all the other royal concubines back but never him and then ML made MC leave the concubines's side of palace to be inside the royal side, making MC his favorite, so much so that all the other concubines have now to submitt to MC and ML's brother too has to call MC as "madame". Add to this that ML called MC "someone that belongs to him" and openly admit that he is jealous and possessive over him and that he is a bit frustreted that MC is not pregnant and there is no doubts ML is very much into MC. Plus ML wants to marry MC even if MC's father is an enemy and a threat and as MC's father said the fact that ML leave him live even if he was disrespectful is a demostratioon that ML is very much in love with MC.
I think this is the first time I've seen ML actually care for MC? Author really needs to work on chemistry between these two
