I'm getting a headache trying to wrap my brain around the plot.Both the ML & MC are kind of dumb, and I can't feel anything positive for their relationship. ML is a jerk just trying to use MC, first to break his rivals heart, then to investigate the mystery of their mu*ders. MC is much more likeable but also doesn't have much of a plan other than to humiliate ML by leaving him at the altar. How is she going to deal with the consequences of her actions? Eh, she'll figure it all out by taking a walk.It's fine if you like seeing the regretful ML trope, but I'm getting really stressed about the MC jumping into things like she's invincible. What if the abusive family hit you or lock you up? What if the as*hole ML kidnaps you? Maybe the author just wants a lighthearted story where nothing bad happens, but that also tones down the stakes so much that I don't care if she stays with her family or gets out, it seems like she'll be fine either way because they can't do anything to her except break some more of her mother's heirlooms. Seriously, why is everyone breaking or destroying her mother's stuff so much, and how many more handkerchiefs & cups & whatever else does the mom have??
