Gladys is Björn first wife. They married to politically strenghthen the alliance between their countries. It was practically an arranged marriage.

Gladys was the perfect crown princess. Prim and proper, really you kinda can't find any fault with her. Her hair is blond which fits with the family line and honestly the people love when hot people date hot people. And Gladys and Bjorn looked very well put together. Honestly the perfect match.

So here is where everything goes wrong.

Before marrying Bjorn, Gladys was in love with a poet, whose name I forgot. And they where well deeply in love with each other and did the devils tango.

Then the arranged marriage happend. Problem was that Gladys got pregnant by the poet and Bjorn and his close family found out once the doctor announced for how many weeks she has been pregnant.

To save face they made it appear so as if it was Bjorn first kid. But you can imagine the shock of finding out your wife who you haven't spent the night with is pregnant.

Bjorn and his family talked it over to Gladys royal family and they came to a conclusion that Gladys would go back, although I believe she left willingly. And that Bjorn would step down as a crown princess as to not have much power against the Gladys royal family, but I return he would monopolize all the banks in Gladys country and recive a good chunk of their armory. It seemed like a fair deal so that's what they did.

So the Bjorn divorced Gladys and got labeled and painted as a villain and a monster even though it wasn't his fault.

Gladys, well, she is 100% in the wrong but she was still trying to act as if it's fixable and well as if she didn't do anything that drastic. She went back, met with her beloved poet, but I guess she did fall in love with Bjorn at the end and kept reminiscing their short marriage together, filled with guilt, which then caused the poet to unalive himself, because he couldn't take her saying those things anymore. Shortly after her baby also died so yeah she was going through the trenches.

But that's part of the reason why Bjirn git labeld as heartless, which was because he didn't go to the funeral of his supposed kid, and honestly I don't even blame him.

Reason why Erna got such a hard time was because stepping into Gladys shadows is hard. Especially when you consider that Gladys was charismatic and the people's princess, so she had support everywhere.

So yeah that's the history between Bjorn and Gladys. Hope it helped! Feel free to correct me :)

Pardon my English I was writing fast and I didn't proof read :(

NO I UNDERSTOOD YOU CLEARLY!(づ￣ ³￣)づ Thank youu for this! Now I understand and I still hate Bjorn ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ poor mc...

tysm for the explanation

at least according to the novel it's the one nobody wants it to be

Σ( ￣□￣||)NOOOO （/TДT)/

Chapter 100... So she did forgive the stupid traitor maid.. wow... She's easy to betray huh

Chapter 116 she really did forgive the maid for betraying her and even telling the maid that she is different from Tristan, like HUH the only reason why she's helping you mc is because she got betrayed by the so-called lover aka the stupid cheater gasper. And the maid knew you since you were a kid, you grew up together and she know who you were and how kind you were but still believed gasper.. How can you think they're a kind person..? Bruh be fr mc..

She find someone else better to marry (the Duke) and breaks off the engagement.
We’re still at the part before it’s official announced that she’s engaged to the Duke.

NICE! Thank you! Btw What about her cheating "husband", homewrecker widow and MC's dad, got any spoilers on what happened to them?

Until now the ex "husband" was humiliated and the widow can't show her face anywhere. The ex husband keep trying to return the engagement with the MC but she just humiliate him lol

LOLL DESERVEE!! Btw what the heck is wrong with the widow? Like why would she go after a shtty person AND their not single

lol I agree the story is just all over the place now atp I'm just skimming through the remaining chapters coz the plot makes no sense. They really wasted a golden plot opportunity for this story haiz

Frr this story has potential.... Maybe if mc didn't fell in love with ml THAT easily, I might continue aswell ╥﹏╥ Goodluck to you !

bruh ikr it's like her trauma completely disappeared anyway thanks, have fun reading other stories too!!

Ikrrrr it had such a big potential on being a really well written story but no- i think the author didn't know what to do with the aftermath

Frfr gurll ughh （/TДT)/

Yes.. I think the author fr just didn't know how to basically make a good story

As someone who read the novel a while ago, at this point of the story, he is def not a green flag lol

Loll I read alot of the novel reader's comments and they kept saying how sht he was, so I'm confused why here he's a green flag??

I personally love Cesar. He shows you exactly who he is from the first time he shows up. A high society noble who basically stands at the top of the food chain and acts like it. That means he isn’t nice just to be nice, he’s aware of his own importance and therefore believes he’s above everyone else, doesn’t take kindly to having his time wasted and is domineering. As long as you can accept that these are his character traits and don’t suddenly expect him to be nice and aware of feelings he’s never had before, you’ll enjoy the story. The FL herself understands this about his character which is why unlike a lot of the readers, she doesn’t actually hate him. I wanted a jerk ML because I was tired of the puppy MLs, Prince Charming MLs and silent MLs, so I got my wish with Cesar. I’m happy.

Also why people might think he’s a green flag is because he genuinely loves her for her, regardless of her status and will do everything to be with her after the knight lies to her about how Cesar only slept with her for fun and was done with her. The knight only managed to do that because Cesar stepped away after their first night together, to get a ring and propose. I haven’t read the novel but someone gave a super detailed spoiler on another website so that’s what I know

Just because Cesar "genuinely loves" the FL doesn't erase the fact that he's abusive. Love isn't just about grand gestures like proposing, it's about how you treat someone daily. If he's domineering, dismissive of her feelings, and acts like he's "above" her, that's not a green flag, that’s emotional abuse wrapped in privilege. The FL not hating him doesn’t mean he's good for her, it could mean she's been worn down or has no other options. Stockholm syndrome isn't romance.

And let's be real, a man who treats people like dirt but makes exceptions for the one he "loves" isn't a green flag, he’s a red flag in disguise. Abuse isn't excused by backstory or he really cares deep down. If readers are calling him a green flag just because he's obsessed with her (or just cuz he's hot) or he's finally doing something "good" for her he's still not a green flag.

As for the argument that he's a high society noble who acts like it, If the narrative frames his behavior as acceptable just because of his status, that's not staying true to his character, it's glorifying toxic elitism. Real growth would be him recognizing his privilege and learning basic decency, not doubling down on arrogance because that's just who he is

But good for you tho, you found your shtty ml (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Oh I’m not trying to debate this. You asked a question, I answered why it might be the case; I don’t actually know whether that’s the case or not since I personally don’t categorize people or characters in “flags”. I’m only interested in the shades of grey they all have. The length of the paragraphs you wrote tells me you probably had a whole rant on Cesar being bad or “toxic” (another word I don’t use), but I don’t really need to delve into all that since I don’t see the point in defending him to people; he’s been nothing but his authentic self from the start.

Also my bad for the first paragraph, I thought you were someone who wanted to hear about the character without having read the story so I gave a straightforward overview of who Cesar is so the new reader jumps in knowing what they’re in it for.

No no it's okay! I understood it, and it's not my cup of tea so I'm dropping this ╥﹏╥

I'm not trying to debate this aswell, anyways I don't like his "authentic self" so I'll just drop this to not waste my time

I hate how he sleeps around tho. And he crushed the fl's hand or leg (i don't remember) with his shoes? I would forgive everything he did but not hurting the female lead

I never have an issue with people sleeping around as long as they’re not cheating. And you can tell Cesar has been with other women just by looking at him. His entire body just screams it and it’s part of what makes him sexy as opposed to just handsome.

I think I’m also looking at the ankle situation differently than most because his anger came from the fact that he told her beforehand that them trying to dupe the entire high society that way (by pretending she’s a noble so she can marry into a noble family) is a capital offense and while he was putting his money and resources toward making it happen, she not only stayed quiet about the bullying she was going through, but messed up her feet, which ultimately made them take several steps back in their plan. It’s messed up to step on her feet, yes, but I can’t pretend I didn’t understand why he was angry she hid that while they’re essentially trying to get away with a crime.

Right? That's why I'm dropping this.. He's not a green flag at all ;-;;

Do you know where can we read the novel? A link perhaps?ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I know it’s on Manta (there’s an app and a website I believe). Otherwise you can just Google “high society light novel” and I’m sure you’ll have other options

Thank you!!

I love when the lead isn’t perfect and here it shows that his actions don’t stem from cruelty for the sake of it. I love when characters actual reflect real harm or mistakes or incorrigible personalities meshing together. It gives me satisfaction to know that not every relationship is equal at the start. Plus he never screamed viscous or dangerous more like rude brusque and a bit sleazy really but never fearful or fright like other crazy male leads are. I also really love the doe deer like female lead that’s actually tantalizing to read and is also a bit of handful; stubborn, obstinate and prone to keeping her pride over her safety. It kinda makes sense why they end up in the end, they make up for what they lack and you can see their development
