忠誠心がないと言われたので婚約を解消してあげました

I’m not sure how I feel about this one. The FL is 16, the ML is 21 who keeps rescuing her, because she’s an absolute doormat to the antagonists. And the antagonists are irredeemable self-centered narcissists who don’t take responsibility for their own actions and blame her for their mistakes.
Sounds like you have decided how to feel?
The ex-fiance is clearly the real villain, so why does the Count's Daughter get a worse punishment (married off to an older man) for doing far less (her crimes are hanging out with a school peer, and showing up to a party she was invited to without knowing she wasn't actually invited to it). I understand her facing some social ostracizing because she should have been more careful, but her punishment should have been openly cutting ties with the ex-fiance while making it publicly clear she had no romantic interest in him (should have been obvious, since both of them are heirs and neither would want to marry into the other's family) then lying low for awhile. And what punishment does the ex-fiance get? So far it just seems like it was the end of the engagement and his parents are disappointed in him. His future is probably still secure.
On another topic, I bet the ML turns out to be a secret royal or something.
Unfortunately, as her family are newer nobles compared to his and Rubina’s, Patricia’s has less backing and family connections to rely on for credibility and future prospects, I’ve seen the ‘older fiancé’ and while I can’t discern the actual age gap, it doesn’t seem to be that much. He’s a bit weak in reining in her outbursts. By which I mean, preventing them before they happen, but he recognizes the grace he’s been given by those who outrank them and is able to pull her out of the venue regardless of her tantrum.
as for her further punishment, it’s probably for the best as even when told why Rubina’s is more important than her’s despite technically ranking above, she still insists she’s better & did nothing wrong.
this is also a case of male nobles & heirs vs female ones and which is more valued. Now if diet has any younger siblings or close cousins who won’t be heirs, then it’s likely he’ll be booted to the side as well. We’ll just have to see.
"There were terrible consequences because I treated her poorly! I know, I'll treat her even worse!"
MC's just a normal, pure, too naive noble girl. The best part of this story is the parents. MC parents? Smart and kind. Antagonist parents? Clear headed and responsible.
Absolute W parents all round. Really made sense why they have their titles and responsibilities. The children need to grow up
This is probably the most normal female lead that I've seen in a while. Loving parents and brother that dote on her but not excessively. She may be very nice and slightly lower self esteem, she's not a complete doormat and won't hide everything from everyone. She's very much a modest girl that will speak up every once in a while. Aside from the antagonists, a lot of people are normal and rational. Even the various parents step in to help or reprimand when necessary. But the two antagonists are beyond delusional. Compared to everyone else they stick out like a sore thumb so it'd have been nice if they were toned down or made more believable.
