I do get the criticism however I’ll say this. In many ways her want to leave was because of her lack of affection and love at home with her supposed “family”. Yet her choice to stay is to be with her actual family and her love interest. I don’t think there’s a problem either way. I think if our male lead had been more of a black flag I’d say her leaving was the better option. In this case it makes sense to me that she’d stay.
Usually these families in stories like this make very upset or even angry. Honestly my heart just hurts for her dad. When you’ve grown up with love and people caring for you it’s hard to imagine the cruelty of a parent to their child. Hell we experience that in reality. It’s just unbelievable parents would be evil and abusive. So to him his daughter experiencing they is unfathomable until seeing and hearing it. And I get our girl not wanting or knowing how to deal with the warm of parental love when that supposed love killed her. It’s just so sad.
The only innocents in this beside the ml, fl, ml’s side (servants, command, etc) is the sister. She was a child and ignorant on what was happening. As kids we don’t realize how problematic our parents or family are until we see it through further information or seeing it ourselves. I’m glad she’s realized her sister is a victim. I just really need the entire imperial line and their mistress/people to die. Like I don’t like her family but I HATE the royals.
