Aristia deserved better

I’m really upset at the direction this manwha has taken, especially Tia’s final outcome. The idea of her falling in the arms of her abuser just bothers me because it feels like this manwha is normalizing it. I don’t blame the artist, she’s probably following the original novel but it would have been great if she changed the story, (Spoon changed some of the storyline in Who Made Me A Princess). Some of the common arguments I’ve seen are “Well this is a different timeline, technically none of this has happened, Aristia should just get over it” have their points but it doesn’t negate the fact Aristia experienced it. Aristia has suffered through PTSD and BWS (battered woman syndrome) to the point she would have nightmares and couldn’t sleep. It just seems that most FL leads like herself are subjected to this abuse/mistreatment and are expected to overcome it because it’s their duty, they have to otherwise how will they win the heart of their ML who has either caused the abuse or didn’t know they existed. Ruvelis only changed because Aristia ignored him. He didn’t have some sort of epiphany from out of the blue, he didn’t try to seek her out, he only started remembering she existed when she ignored him or seemed to be weary of him. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find out why so and so hates or dislikes me, I’d move on with my life or I’d forget. Ruvelis only lusts after Aristia because she’s so mysterious and secretive around him and she’s willing to let other men in her life; Carsein and Allendis. Allen and Carsein’s admiration and love for Aristia are more genuine and sincere because they know how she acts, what she likes and her personality. This manwha had the potential to rewrite Aristia’s destiny by continuing to inherit her father’s dukedom and staying single or her marrying someone that’s not Ruvelis. Hell, Ruve’s secretary/personal assistant (I forgot his name so I’m going to call him blondie) could have been another male lead since he’s considered to be part of Ruve’s conscious and his close friend. I’m not expecting miracles at this point; I’ve seen and read the raws and I know how this story will end. I just wish that if there’s another novel out there with a similar story like this one, to please stop writing abused victims falling in love with their abusers. This is my rant and thank you to all those who read it fully.
