I think there's a little misunderstanding about ML and FL relationship ending. It was him that gave up on them, FL did her job and after the end of the mission she wanted them to overcome what happened, however ML couldn't just go back to what he was before and so he end their relationship.

Novel spoiler ? I see, but then it was the emperor that kill ML father in the last episode.

But that doesnt make sense, how can he be crown prince ? He is not even the first one, he is the 7th son.

So he is a bastard, because her mother is probably not a noble, right ?

Do we know who is his mother ?

I do think now, that his affection is fake. He is using ML as bait, because everyone will aim at the Crown Prince, i mean the ML is a bastard so the emperor is using is more disposable son.

It's not, just my theory. However I think this is a adaptation of a novel, you can try to find out more there.

It's open a possibility. When ML dies he to can swap body with someone, so we can have a HE.

Let my boy be a simp, he is dying. Why would he play a long game when he just have 5 minutes.

It was him that make ML and FL marriage possible, it was his plan that thrown FL to ML view. It's all a plan so his son (2ML) has a motive to fight against ML, and unfortunately 2ML is believing like a duck.

Probably A beautiful lie ending, that was a nonsense.

The writers will boost his evilness really quickly and for no reason. Fear of losing FL ? Another obsessive 2ML.

There's no misunderstanding. FL doesn't misunderstand ML and his ex, that not the reason.

They still didn't break up, she needs time to think and to make a decision.

Exactly, she knows she is the problem. It was her lasting words in episode 8.

This is not about situations, it's about personality. FL personality and maturity are differents than ML.

not yet

He clearly need some development

Everyone thinks so, because who would think that he painted another woman?

The real problem comes after, it's not FL nude. So, who did he paint ?
