You are telling me this cheap Douche is the ML?

U should read more.
Trust me, this ML is a pass, a green flag and realistically inspired character with ACTUAL boundaries that doesnt instantly simps over their FLs, with real aspiration of living the ideal rural life in solitude!

If you want to see what a real trash MLs and trash dynamics are like, you should try these:
Abandoned empress
I give birth to the tyrant's child
On the emperor's lap
Everything was a mistake
What it means to be you
Obey me
Who is the prey

Hope u can handle it (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I read some of those and Those ML's are supposed to be trashy by the author. This one is another kind of trashy. Realistic? I dont feel it. He knows she was made to marry him, but he also knows she is used to life of luxury. So he should have prepared for her, but noo. He just drops her into life of a farmer. （/TДT)/

Yes, prepare FOR HER, as if they both want the marriage, as if FL would die if she doest adapt to rural life. Woke feminist privilege at its finest

She has no assets because her father owns everything and now she is left to fend for herself because her husband owns everything, so yeah, he is better off in this case. He might not want the marriage but her position is worse. And he just does nothing. She has absolutely no choice but to follow him, while he has every right to leave her anywhere. so yeah he should have worked harder and earned money to support her.

Are seriously listening to urself? Its marriage not charity. I wont argue with Karens. Good talk tho ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

are we reading the same stuff? saying anything? he's doing whatever he can do. zachary is a war hero with a title granted with respect while the ml here is former emperor's illegitimate child. literally a former. his brother made him an ugly duckling in the empire. it was literally shown that he cant even go to the village he lives in bc everyone starts calling him monster. he literally got so much YET he's trying his best to accommodate the fl. he's not asking her to do anything. silently doing everything for her. yes the first meeting was trashy but cmon he's POOR tf you want him to do??? lack of reading comprehension is way too much here. just bc it's fl's pov doesn't mean we have to sympathise her all the time and turn blind when it comes to others.

Honestly ML is pretty fine considering other trash MLs.also Zakari and this guy really can't be compared,cz their situations are quite different.

You are right! I think this ML is patient and hardworking!

She must adjust to this life. She has to know how to live with her husband who has a different lifestyle. What are you even saying. Prepared for her? What if this is only what he has.

“Woke feminist privilege” gtfo you weird incel trash
