Bruh I actually love the Mc the way she acts is way too nice makes my heart want tobreak

For all of you tsking over Ophelia's handling of the "misunderstanding"- her way of thinking will make more sense as the story progresses and is in line with her past.
It's also the guy's fault. Do NOT keep another woman in your married house and spend so much time with her bro

Can I have some spoilers..? 'Cause this just really hurts my heart... 😥

 

[Eleftheria]

I want to cry

You know, apart from this being her fault to jumping to conclusions — it's the freakin' fault of the guy too for not saying anything.
Like what the flying f*ck.

EDIT: So I read the other comments, and her actions make sense —still something wrong in it, but yeah, this guy is scum.

Thank you for the update😍been waiting for this ❤️❤️

@iAmAileen I don't know. Based on the exchange on the stairs it seems like both Diana and Orpheus have told her it's not like that, Diana especially seems to have said it until she's blue in the face. We've only been given the single incident of Orpheus and Diana laughing in the rose garden, which isn't nearly as incriminating as half a dozen incidents from other series though the fact that this is apparently a political/arranged marriage makes her coming to such a conclusion understandable.

@icarushector I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the fact that while he maybe denied it (so far, when she had confronted him, he has either said nothing or stopped the conversation, which is pretty suspicious) he never told her any words of love. The way she perceives herself in the mirror makes me think that her husband never flattered her, told her she was beautiful or at the very least told her he loves her.

I can just imagine the first time she accused him: How could you hide your relationship with Diana? I have no relationship with her. And that was pretty much it. No "I love you" or "I could never do that to you" or "I care to much about us to do something like that".

He never assured or confirmed his feelings for her, which with her own issues makes her think he doesn't love her nor care for her as person.

 

[icarushector]

@Himechu some of the other commenters mentioned a background of

Spoiler

extensive emotional and verbal abuse from her father

which would one hundred percent explain both the mirror monologue and her reluctance to believe anything the husband said to the contrary even before she got delusions of adultery, and this isn't a new plan. She's been running the self-destruction plan for a while now and I wouldn't be surprised if the avoidance was to step around the venom she would return his words with.

You eventually stop petting the dog that always bites you.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he has been absolutely garbage about expressing his love for her in the first place. It's a pretty common trope to have the male lead in these types of stories be utter trash in that regard.

And you're right, he hasn't been pushing back against her jabs or made much effort that we can see to make her feel loved. Other than creating the entire rose garden, which apparently wasn't a part of the property until she expressed a desire for roses early in their marriage, if I read that part right? I am kinda pinning my hopes on the line in the description that says her plan to be divorced inexplicably fails to draw the intended reaction and the implied untrustworthy narrator concept, or whatever it's called where the lens you view the story through is flawed because the lens the narrator views their world is flawed, that the spoilered background would definitely create.

She give up without trying I can't stand that!

 

[Ironclad]

If she was in on the plan why did she harass her when they're alone? This is so dumb.

 

[Gameruru]

I'm literally crying. I can actually feel her pain. Kudos

 

[Roxymissy]

Tsundere ultimate level

 

[SugarArirang]

The mirror scene at the start reminded me so much of wattpad stories lmao.

 

[roxanneayy]

I cry.
Was that bastard smirking when she cried?
I really can't stand how he doesn't try. If he does love her, then he should try to explain better. Love isn't some one-person thing. For people saying she gave up easily- I don't think she is. She's been doing this act for a long time now but he's never cleared it up for her. Diana has tried but her words are only as strong as what he has to say which he hasn't said anything.

Love watching tsunderes get what they deserve. Keep going girl!

 

[nobodygattaknow]

IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

[trust_noone]

Why not just ask him instead of going in circles, it’s kind of annoying, she loves him but she never actually asked what he wants, what if he loves her as well. They’re both dumb

 

[Valorie]

okay i am now going to let out every i want to say about the husband so i fucking hate the trashy human scumbag for living that's it ahhh😅😃
