It was written in the comment that Ian is 100% will end as ML...someone also replied that Ian was just misunderstood... and the admin of the account also commented to someone questioning it saying we will change our views in Ian after reading the novel...
(I don't think I will like Ian no matter his reasons



)... It is already hard to accept Ruve of Abandoned Empress even with the reasons of the past, Ruve is more forgivable bc he is only bad on the previous life but different in current life bc he is more kind and took hardship to woo Tia...while Ian is still womanizer and cheater in this life.
