I Lived with the Villain in the ’70s Chapter 51 Discussion

The first half was good and interesting. A cosmologist, applying for the Ph.D. Program in theoretical physics suddenly transmigrates and becomes a peasant woman sold to be a wife to a man with the mind of a six years old child.

In reality, that infantile personality is a secondary one, the man has three of them!

The story is about the tortured main personality growing stronger, step by step,

and getting the girl in the end! The FL will become his.

the infantile one will disappear eventually, which was sort of shocking, in true DID such thing will never happen. And the third personality is the most problematic. He is secondary, has no control over the body, but the FL loves him dearly, unlike the main personality.

Just like other readers, I felt terrible about such bias in the FL's heart. And actions. She was suppressing one and letting another out, affecting the ecology of the inner world of another human being. She essentially had two husbands in one body and did not favor the main one, he was too socially undeveloped and withdrawn, ill with PTSD, gentle and "scholarly" to her taste. She liked the angry and violent, the manly one who was making lots of money, brought her meat and did not care about the books/studies.

I was really not interested to know how it would be resolved by reabsorbing the third onto the main. What a terrible idea! And with each new chapter I cared less and less about the FL with her lack of any activities, ambitions or goals. Her teenaged husband was cooking, her husband was making money to buy a house, her husband was planting rice, while she was basically in bed with a fresh novel to read all the time or going for a stroll in the countryside. Granted, she was simply enjoying her second youth and "vacations" of sorts after years of gruelling studies in previous life, which is awesome, but we know how old and mature she really is in years and achievements.
