there's one time he brushes her off and she falls to the ground but he was defending himself and didn't intend to hurt her she fell because she is suffering from eating disorders and doesn't has enough strength in her body that's why he was talking to her lover because she can't get pregnant and was telling him to refrain himself from doing it because it would put the fl life at risk and he was trying to protect her also he doesn't call her useless as op below said he was calling her out on her behaviour and how she expects to manage the bussiness if she doesn't know and her nespotism(yes the fl said "nespotism rights") also Izer only allows her lover to be there because he is useful to fl and was telling him not to act up because he knows the lover is acting fake

basically fl and the mls are all toxic. Most ppl online defend the husband but they ignore the fact he is emotionally abusive to her. Husband constantly tells her she’s useless, spoiled, dumb, etc. he ignores all her opinions and refuses to help her. In the beginning when they married, she was absolutely terrified of him, as she was married AGAINST her will and the husband is from a family KNOWN for murder and all evil things. And then u add on to the fact the husband then takes control over the company. She does try to help in the beginning of the marriage, but she never got ANY training as her parents died before it could happen, and the grandmother tried to train her for like a month. So when she tried to help the company, she messed it up, and the husband told her she was useless. Later on she overhears her husband (who she is terrified of, and who ignores and emotionally abuses her) tell someone on the phone that they are planning on killing a women. Terrified because of the fact his family is known to do this and that they are untouchable for their crimes, she panics and hires a bodyguard. However, before this she was SEVERELY depressed before she overhead the murder plan.it was to the point she didn’t eat, sleep etc. Now this bodyguard turns into her lover. This lover who she isn’t scared of, as he’s there to protect her. He soothes her, cares, listens to all her demands, never complains, and comforts her. This to her is amazing. And you got to remember fl was spoiled and surrounded by loving parents all her life. Her whole family dies, and her grandmother forces her to marry. At this point she’s a mess because suddenly all she’s ever known is gone and she’s forced to marry someone who verbally abuses her and is now in control of everything she does. She lashes out to everyone around her (which is why I say fl is toxic as well as the husband). She has no friends and everyone gossips about how she has a lover when she’s married. She’s also depressed and has a sleeping disorder and the only thing that has helped with it was the bodyguard and lover who she felt safe and protected around. Basically husband comes back and treats her as a immature useless child (she is, but her husband in all the years they married never tried to help her or improve their relationship) and she’s pissed about it as she hates this (in her view, evil, murderer, husband who controls her family, has everything she owns in his control, and someone who ignores her and plans to murder her) evil guy as she feels she’s the only one who actually sees the husbands true nature (being evil in her view) as everyone else loves him. Also I stopped reading at 20 chapters because that was all their was so far btw and it’s a manhwa so u can only get the spoilers by the existing chapters. So when husband comes home, and a fight happens as fl hates him. The family doctors and them are called. The doctors tell husband that female lead is in danger because of her health, she’s underweight, not enough sleep, etc. then it goes to doctors flashback to her having hand bruises on her body. So the doctor tells him (husband) not to get her pregnant as her body will die because of her health. Husband looks mad by this and agrees with doctor. The doctor also says that because of her sleep disorder that if she falls asleep to let her as she barely ever gets to sleep. Lover is in garden because the husband is home and meets him in the garden. It’s revealed husband knew about her lover from the beginning and didn’t care, but threatens him as he was the one who is allowing this lover to be close to fl and that he knows the lover has another interest in mind being here. Fl comes and sees them together and yells at husband to leave her lover alone. Fl comes close and grabs on husbands arm to get lover away, and husband pushes her on the ground, she is injured and lover glares and rushes to help fl. Later husband offers to teach fl and calls her useless, to which she agrees as she wants to prove she isn’t useless. He gives her books and she reads and falls sleep from. Now she read these books in a room NO ONE is allowed into as it’s her safe place. Husband ignores this walks in and puts her in bed. She wakes up, and is terrified as husband violated her safe space, and thinking he came to kill her, she grabs a gun she had in her bedside table to defend herself, she points it at him, he grabs gun and points it at her, fl although terrified doesn’t show it. Husband then shoots a vase behind her head. And then calls her useless, dumb, stupid, and how if she can kill him in a certain limit she’ll br safe, he also says the same about himself killing her. However it’s revealed that husband actually doesn’t plan on killing her as he was friends with her dead brother and promised to protect her. Then sometime they go to a hotel meeting, which is actually RARE as like I said, he has FULL control over all the business and sometimes will go to her and ask for a signature but do it regardless whether she agrees or not. Man accidentally accused fl of being dumb about business as she hasn’t had any control or meetings in her family company. Husband defends her but in the car he tells his servant how fl is quite smart and only needs help to bring that smartness out. He then goes home, and verbally abuses fl about how dumb she is. Later we go to a party with fl and lover and she’s drunk and trying to get info about a contract. Well guy is trying to get her alone, and she refuses, lover comes in yelling at guy and takes her to corner or alone spot. Then we find out lover and her had a contract and stuff and fl tells him how she rlly cares about him and that they can’t develop feelings as it’s a contract for her protection and she enjoys his company and how safe he makes her feel. Well later we find out lover is here to actually steal something from her. And from the panels ml is probably the abusive husband. A lot of ppl defend the males but hate the fl. Personally I hate everyone but rlly care for the fl. Imagine family dies and ur forced to marry a guy who u know from rumours to be evil.

also the husband told her she was useless and not even trying when she fell asleep reading, when the doctors told him that she ISNT ABLE to help it.
