Love Turned to Ashes

Is the protagonist an idiot with zero IQ and EQ? The female lead has been patiently enduring all this time, and he doesn't even realize it? Even after it's been explicitly stated that the butler is the villain's mole, he still can't see through her feelings? All I can say is that the male lead is selfishly indulging in self-pity under the guise of devoted love. After all this time together, he still doesn't understand the female lead? I feel like trust is worthless.

It was so frustrating to read! The author's plot moved too slowly, it was incredibly drawn out. The male lead was indecisive and affected, unable to figure out what to say or not to say, almost effeminate. The character development was fragmented. And that male lead was like a masochist, constantly torturing himself, wavering between two or even three women.

Is it based on true events?
