If years of manipulation and emotional abuse is salvation, you don't need manhwa, you need therapy. Which, thanks to the deluded antics of Dowun fans who are the type to romanticize major red flags in a relationship, I will also definitely need. You people make me wish violence upon a fictional character even harder, in a well-meaning but ultimately useless effort to counteract your twisted fanaticism.
In the meantime, did we read the same chapter, or is your reading comprehension as low as your standards for men? Lyon's literally questioning how many of her decisions were actually hers. She's no independent woman; she's someone stuck in an oppressive relationship that has long denied her love, empathy, and her own personhood. She's got to where she is because Dowun, a nonroyal noble, spied a vulnerable, bullied princess and used her status to advance himself, to satiate his ambitious ego. Along the way, he has never ONCE showed Lyon an ounce of kindness, stripped her of her personality, and molded her into a political tool he could use and benefit from. He has always placed himself first and never taken her needs as something even worth considering. It's not cheating if the partner's a solipsistic bastard, who deserves to be force fed moldy bread, his own shit, centipedes. It's called salvation: moving on from abusers is a survivor's decision we should support, not decry.
Fuck Dowun and fuck all men like him and FUCK the mentality that he's even considered a romantic prospect. Is it because he's a the quintessential hot male with black hair? Is it? Well he's a black-haired waste of SPACE who deserves to be run through a lawnmower, a lenient punishment given all that he stands for - which, news flash, is himself and only himself, at the expense of others. The only way I obtain restful sleep is dreaming of Dowun getting sodomized with a scalding hot poker.
