I mean he didn't exactly do it for her in the first place. He realised he fucked up by believing og fl and later found out that the only one who could sense the bad vibes from the start was Penelope. Because he didn't want the whole world to end he then decided to sacrifice himself by putting his soul through eternal suffering in search of a fragment of the og Penelope's soul. The fact that he later fell in love with our fl is like and added reason he's glad he did what he did ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Mot even here can a second male lead have a happy ending idk whats worse other stories where the love is just unrequited. Or here when he just burns to hell for eternity waiting for her to come back when in the end she will pick our male lead. Vinter has no chance hes destined to be forever trapped
