what's the conflict of this story again?

Initially, the mc wanted to avoid her death by breaking up with Leo before her feelings get deeper and follow the novel's direction of her being killed. She is most of the times with Zion because of the broken vial, thus continuing the fake relationship thing. She also wants to prevent Alio from being heart broken so she made Alio keep facing the wall to not meet and fall in love with Yulliana.

What I'm trying to figure out is why Pualiana is still hanging around fraud snake guy... he even said he was basically trying to scam her. Yea... friend is cool, but as a potential lover?!

SPOILERS
Yes Snake Doctor admitted to being a gold digger, but like cmon, he still treats her well, right? He is transparent and doesn't dominate Paul, which is a type she hates.
And if she marries him, she knows he won't stop her from being a marquees because he loves that money, he loves that title for her.
But don't worry, the marriage wont go through because he has a bastard child with another woman and this will be the final straw.

He is sick in his head... he's a psycho.
I find it odd that people are trying to justify him or even explain his actions in a brighter light. Reread from the beginning and then reevaluate your comments please.
The FL isn't obligated to like him back because he liked her for years now apparently. She's suppose to be his object of affection? That's messed up.
the end... the end of that side story, I hope!!!!! (⊙…⊙ )
Seriously though, a lot of respect to the author. Thank you so much for this webtoon. I truly hope this isn't the end though. ╥﹏╥
