IMO, Eclis and Penelope's relationship starts to become unhealthy, and I'm reminded of some chapters I've read in Your Throne. The female lead (Medea) had a toxic relationship with one of the male lead (Helio), and although the ML has deep feelings for the FL (which she clearly knows and acknowledged from the beginning), she continuously uses him for her own goals even if it hurts the ML a lot. The story had a promising and interesting plot at first but the flow got bad in the later chapters I can't find enough justification for the FL's actions to redeem herself. it was so disappointing I had to drop it. I hope it won't happen here.
