I think, the one who saved uke was seme's mother. and we all know the angst here gotta be painful but i believe this will have a happy ending for the two.
If my memory is correct, I think this is the point where the @sshole prince wanted divorce bcs the pinkhead biatch didn't want to bear his child, also at this time it was revealed that she invested all of the money to that scam family so for our MC all is well, her revenge is sailing but ML didn't want for the pinkhead to banished from the kingdom.
This was a wake up call to our MC, all of her hardwork down the drain. She thinks that at the end, ML still cared for that pinkhead's reputation. MC still thinks she's in the novel so she tried coming back in the real world by jumping of the balcony but fortunately ML saw him. He rushed to save her and cried while hugging her back.
ML explained that he chose that bcs he wanted to protect the reputation of the Empire cuz if he agreed it means that the aristocrat will have the upperhand. Also, he doesn't want MC to be tied up to them and have their own life. He cried to the point that he regretted his actions, he was sorry.
MC calmed him down, ML didn't leave her side for idk 2 days or more. It was the prince who talked to MC about what she really wants and he also told her about his divorce with the pinkhead. So yea, MC realized that she's not just a bystander in the novel but there is someone who wants to have a life with her.
The ending was that they went on a vacation in the North for two months. The end.
Actually there are lots of side stories that I hope the webtoon will also cover.
It irks me that they needs to have sex first before seeing their son who's prolly traumatized right now, bitch u can take pheromone stabilizer or whatever,,, dahek so disappointing and i can't even enjoy the smex scene bcs I WORRY FOR HIS SON AND MOTHER LIKE DUDE HOW CAN U FEEL PLEASURE AT THAT POINT OF YOUR LIFE.
I'm deranged for liking ilay so much, he's the only exception in my long-list of psychopath, jerkass, bastard top. the art is so pretty and I'm a sucker for a white old shit hair and his jealousy makes my heart go crazy. tf
I'm guessing in order for the uke to stay away from his dad, he'll ask for help from seme and they will live together. Lots of cute scenes and smex, misunderstanding arises like abt their label and what are they, uke starts to question his worth and feel pain whenever he's with the seme... so uke will confess given his straightforward attitude, gets rejected again then he'll move out. Tries to finally run away but seme will find him. They'll get back together but another sht will happen like abt seme's family, his real status, and blah. Uke will feel burden abt it and will prolly be in a lot of self-doubt and self-pity. A second lead might appear, givin' spice for the plot but it wouldn't actually make a difference.
ANW. IT'S JUST A THEORY.
I just hope we can stop with this kind of cliché, for once make the uke prove something for himself without the help of the seme. Uke is so hardworking he deserves to be successful on his own.
