In all the other manhua’s like this I read none of the characters could actually give a valid reason for liking each other, other than “oh she she has white skin and doesn’t have freckles, so she is pretty” which is stupid. But they actually have real reasons for their feelings,
I don’t know where the idea he is in love with her came from, at the end of the story it sounded like they pressured him to be with her.
If he really is madly in love with her would he have gone behind her back for any reason, and do something like adopting a whole new child, knowing it could deeply hurt her?
I do not dislike the male lead for hating or killing the female lead he has reasons for the way he feels, but the daughter is completely innocent and he killed her, and he neglects her. But it’s the fact that he kills her that really gets to me.
