.i felt bad for him because he was deeply hurt by what fl said, though fl said it out of ignorance. but fl's ignorance is the reason for why he ended up bearing a deep grudge. what she said was so hurtful without her knowing, and i understood why he ended up so twisted (though his own abuse against fl is inexcusable and i see his actions more of a projection of his anger towards the wrong person, and in this case fl became the ultimate victim). The webnovel i read is definitely not a romance webnovel, it's more of a story of war and how annie learns from her ignorance and how she learns to heal. it's also the ml's own reconciliation with his tormented past, which is deeply deeply disturbing, and fl's father played such a big role in making his life literal hell. not even kidding, his life was hell. but yea i did not want him to end up with her but they did end up together!!! So for anyone who doesn't want that skip this immediately lol
