She def didnt help her own position but even though she was the one holding the power in the beginning. It was still transactional, never did she try to make it seem like she had pure feelings there. She used his feelings for her to get herself someone she can trust, because she also didnt have anyone.
I get what your saying though, but like i said it was at the beginning that the female lead tried to use him, that too for HER own benefits she knew his feelings were real. I know what he's doing right now is absolutely wrong and i agree with you but you can't deny that you didn't see this coming in the beginning ( ̄へ ̄)

Ngl i think about 90% the female lead's fault because she used him used him for her own benefits though i understand her pressure it doesn't give her the excuse to use a slave knowing he would definitely feel attached to her because you know after all troubles he went through. I personally think he's a good person if treated right, he's just a guy who became a slave and was used plus mistreated ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
