Yup. But only as much as formality. (The MC has no romantic feelings towards ice chick) Her father, one of the most powerful men in that world, manipulated the situation in his daughter’s favor. Since his daughter’s first time was taken by our MC, he insisted that the MC take responsibility and wed her. Of course, that’s absurd, but it’s true that currently she will never be able to marry properly- since now, she’s neither a widow, nor a virgin. (Be sure you remember which time period this story is taking place in. That stuff mattered a ton back then.)
P.S. The MC only accepted this responsibility (saving the ice chick’s life) at all, because nano told him she could block his sperm from escaping. Otherwise he would have let the ice chick die, even if it meant going to war with her dad. Obviously, he would win against her dad, but it would’ve been a loss for his cult. Our MC remembered how messed up his own family was. He refuses to have children with anyone but his lover.
Nah I fr did the same thing cuz I was like ain’t no way it takes 142 ch for the fl to establish a relationship with the mc but this rando girl walks in for 11 chs and already has a stake on the mc. I really thought this wasn’t going to be harem, it was such a turn off so I left but I came back cuz my friend really wanted me to read it and it was lowkey worth it. The plot is great honestly and I’m willing to overlook it this once but I still sincerely hope the author doesn’t turn this into a harem. Sleeping with the ice girl and him gaining powers because it of felt like such a cop out. And for him to have multiple wives after going through hell in his childhood is against his character. It genuinely made me crash out for a bit cuz if I knew it would be this way I wouldn’t have invested and time or emotion into their relationship. Are harem’s really that popular? I’m lowkey glad that the romance isn’t a main focus because I would hate to see the mc slowly falling for the ice girl while the fl just become more tolerant and acceptant of that I’m lowkey hoping the ice girl leaves of her own violation ngl if I was the fl and he still marries the ice girl, im straight up leaving idc

What chapter did mc met the ice girl? When did they have s3x? I think I stopped there coz I consider that cheating, but I decided to pick it up again, I'll just ignore na harem coz I remember it's good. Why do they have to put harem? aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh should I read again?
