Agreed. Personally I'll drop it. Not worth the time at all
I was literally just about to comment the exact same thing, like how the heck did the prince (who is literally toxic afffff) fall in love with her???? when???? like she has literally no personality at all imo, and he said he liked her cause she was 'different' when all she did was obey his every word, like huuuuuuhhhhhh?????? I hate when authors describe a character as strong and smart etc. but they never show her being those things. not to mention the first 20 chapters were way to rushed and made little to no sense at all.
I don't think she's weak next to all men, I mean,shes not weak in front of her subordinates, she's not blushing when the Duke speaks to her, she didn't even dress up for their first date.
She's only weak when the Prince is around, I guess that's how the author wants their love story to be. They are "fated" so they both go all weird around each other and all, it's cliché but at the same time, she knows that she's weak when it comes to him, and said "I just have to heal", that's pretty strong to me. She fell in love and immediately tried to get rid of her feelings when he humiliated her (avoiding is a little cowardly but loyal as she is....)
the series is weird, ridiculous at some point and doesn't click for me. A lot happens too fast, too quickly; pace too jumpy; there is no chemistry between the characters and, for someone like her who is supposedly so strong, I find it extremely uncool to present her as a 'weak' woman next to the male parties who are interested in her. I would have preferred a generally cool front from her. There isn't a single character that I like lol
