Lihen and Sir Schudermel have a confrontation in My Dear Aster Chapter 39 when Schudermel tells Lihen that he still loves her and wants to be with her. Lihen’s life is quite complicated, and no one can really comprehend what she is thinking.
In her previous life, Lihen was verbally abused and mocked by her staunch mother-in-law, who constantly berated her because she couldn’t bear a son. Lihen’s husband couldn’t have cared less about what Lihen was going through and never actually stood up for his wife through the ordeal.
Lihen’s only reprieve in that hellish time was her daughter Aster whom she loved beyond anything. Aster’s existence brought immense joy and satisfaction to Lihen’s otherwise bland and distorted life. On Lihen’s deathbed, Aster asked Lihen to marry someone else in her next life so that Lihen could live a better life, even if it meant Aster wouldn’t exist.
Although Lihen tries to follow her daughter’s heartfelt request, she still tries to justify her awful marriage with the Baron saying it was only boring only so she could hold Aster in her arms once again.
My Dear Aster is a complex love story that touches upon quite sensitive topics as well as mature themes. Lihen’s love for her daughter and guilty conscience has been making the fans feel frustrated since her resolve keeps wavering time and time again.

My Dear Aster: Chapter 39 Recap
In the previous chapter of My Dear Aster, Schudermel looked quite disturbed when he saw Lihen, who seemed pretty gaunt and as if she had lost weight. Schudermel tenderly asks her if she is eating properly, but Lihen almost immediately pulls back, asking him to leave her alone.
Schudermel feels conflicted about Lihen’s behavior and asks her if she truly wants to become a Baroness. Schudermel asks Lihen if she really loves the Baron more than her and if he is the person she wishes to marry instead of him.
Lihen tells him that she loves the Baron, but Schudermel is not convinced, asking her if it is true and why is it that she looks so upset. Lihen pushes Schudermel away again, telling him that she had approached him, knowing that she may not want anything serious and she is nothing more than a devious woman he shouldn’t waste his time on.
Schudermel begins thinking about the time he wished that Lihen would suffer as much as he did, not more or less, but even that feeling soon turned into him wishing that she would be happy instead.
Schudermel was ready to give up on Lihen if it meant that being with the Baron would make Lihen happy, but he was not sure anymore. When Schudermel pushes her for an answer further, Lihen breaks down and tells him that she can’t be with him because of her daughter.
Lihen screams at him, saying that she is a 45-year-old woman instead of 20 and that she gave birth to a daughter and raised her. Lihen also tells him that she died in a carriage accident in her previous life, and even though her daughter had told her to, she can’t give up on Aster.
