like i love this trope- the totally off-base, asshole ML finally sees the light and offers his heart on a silver platter but FL is just so sick of this shit and crushes it while throwing in his face all the abuse she suffered, like... idk that's my angst jam
i meam, i'm not making this webtoon my moral compass irl so i would definitely be ok with an ending where she ends up w/ML after ML has atoned enough
BUT
i also had a split second of an angsty w|w fic daydream when she was being carried all gallantly by blondie like can you imagine??
carrying someone in your arms- someone you love and respect & would die for, after she spent a night with the man who's always given her nothing but pain, and you could do nothing but let it happen and pick up the pieces the morning after?

and tbh this is really rare for me, i only read these type of plots for the shenanigans inb4 they express mutual feelings, the push and pull and misunderstandings- i really really love that. and ultimately when they confess and get together, my interest decreases by 50%
BUT THIS ONE HAS ME FEELING SO MUCH
i wager that even when they start dating, it has so much more potential for comedy and sweet stuff

does this idiot have no concept of engagements/marriages?
but ok i'll give him some leeway
although og!villainess was manipulated by circumstances and the people around her, she still DID poison og!FL. so his animosity as og!FL's older brother is still understandable
but once all this is cleared up and he doesn't deign to apologize or act civilised & cooperate w/the practical plans our FL has, then i wish him a painful death
i was not disappointed
