Guys donāt waste your time reading this bullshit, the male lead is a genuine asshole that has no respect for the FL and never listens to what she says. He literally RAPES her several times in the novel, and then says shit like āoh you say no but your body says yesā LIKE WHAT HELLO? THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS?? Genuine piece of shit ML, no redemption for this guy
As a Novel readerā¦.
Spoilers: it gets so much worse (was literally in agony reading it)
Okay so basically to sum it up, she continues to love him while also forbidding him to touch her etc. and remember the king? Yeah that fucker is still around and he wants carlothian GONE. So the demon that the princess summoned takes advantage of that, possess the kingās body, so that he becomes an even worse dude than he already is. This makes the kingās desire to destroy carlothian even stronger, so what he does is he teams up with the guy thatās obsessed with Ariadaline to kidnap her. They get her away from carlothian, kidnap her, kill her maid and the knights protecting him, and take her to the imperial dungeon. The then sendās carlothian a threatening message saying like āif you donāt want me to hurt her you better come here aloneā and he does. He finds her trapped in the dungeon, and then because they can kill her anytime he complies and doesnāt do anything while they chain him in another dungeon facing her. They then get someone to torture her by cutting her flesh off and making her sing so she heals, and they keep doing this till she can no longer speak. Carlothian manages to break free from his chains, from which Ariadaline then begs him to take her out of her misery cuz sheās in so much pain. So he chokes her to fucking death, since they both think she can just reincarnate but then ofc the author said āhaha jokes on youā AND SHE DOESNT COME BACK. SHE ACTUALLY FUCKING DIES FOR GOOD. Ofc carlothian goes insane and doesnāt believe it, so he takes her dead body home, cleans it, and lies in bed with her for a whole month before he finally comes to terms with her death. And thatās where it fucking ends. Actually terrible it ruined my whole day
wait im confused bc I read another spoiler and thatās not the ending, after she is tortured and dies he does lie with her dead body for days but then he kills the ppl at the castle+emperor then kills himself. then both of them get revived to the past again where carliotian kills the emperor+devil (im skipping over a bunch of details) but ending is apparently they live happily ever after










NOOO MIKHAIL I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU please let there be some hidden goal to help Martina or something I genuinely have so much hope for him he was there at her lowest in her past life thereās no way he just betrays her
