The og male lead has no reason to behave as he does. No real trauma, abuse, or anything. The only issue he probably had was his parents having high expectations for him. However, it's still not a valid reason why he turned into such an evil asshole. I'm referring to him as evil because he originally killed the FL in the previous life, and both in the past and present, he abandoned the FL and his kid for another woman, whom he groomed. Just an evil bastard, just because.
Also, I believe that both in the previous life and current life, the og male lead had some degree of feelings for the FL, and he just doesn't understand them. That's probably why he calls her a witch; he likely believes she is trying to bewitch him with her pretty face or smile bullshit like that, I guess.
