Synopsis

When the king offers Aerik Cladinae his own sister's hand in marriage for his meritorious deeds in battle, he didn't expect to get saddled with a limping, drooling woman like Miesa Esquillre. Driven insane by her brother's physical and psychological torture, Miesa rolls around on the ground, spills food all over herself, and screams unintelligebly as a way of communicating. But sometimes, Aerik catches a flash of shrewd understanding behind those vacant eyes. Is Miesa truly as mad as everyone thinks... or is she hiding something?

The MC who's goody two shoes. He will be shown to be very strong, but he's always nerfed before the villain. Often times he's also naive and always ignorant that the female lead is being abused just near him.
The female lead is a hollow character whose entire existence is to be a punching bag for the villain and his lackeys and nothing else.
The author also constantly uses physical, mental and sexual abuse to inject ...
