Sorry to break it to you, but based on what I have read in spoilers he’s not much better than his fuckass bro, in the 1st timeline he also knows that the female lead is only a pawn and he still continue to watch her suffer and when she finally died he SUDDENLY realize that he’s also inlove with her
I like the younger brother more ngl... I don't hate the ml, it's just that he's rather bland. Like an unseasoned turkey
