I understand you completely, but that's the thing about past traumas and insecurities you can never believe how good and appreciable you are, in her past her mother always looked down on her and always said bad things and maybe in later story we'll know more about it, but such things "You're not good enough", "You look absolutely monstrous", etc., can cause a lot of mental trauma to a smol child and it persists for a long time so I understand her too and you too. Dayum, i yapped a lot
I guess they just handle this trope poorly. I remember enjoy another manhwa with similar trope. Forgot the name, I think the MC have a stutter or st.
You must talk about Under The Oak Tree. The trauma part is really well done in this story (both FL and ML traumas)
I know i will get stoned for this but her being unaware of her beauty is starting get annoying. I was ok the first few time. Heck, I was ok with this trope too but everything need tk be in moderation yk.
