To Love, Honor and Betray

The trope is classic, but I wonder what personal or cultural factors led to its central role here. Did the author want to challenge or embrace this theme?

The betrayals and secrets added layers of complexity, making me question what love really means in high-stakes situations. Would love to hear others' thoughts!

It felt like the emotional stakes were high throughout, but I’d love to know if that was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.
