Kang Min’s intuition was correct: Murong Fu had initially felt a strong aversion toward her, but that feeling had since dissipated.
It was because when Kang Min first sensed danger, she had not immediately fled; instead, she had knelt down to beg him not to go to her home. Had she run away first, it would have truly been the act of a selfish nature. But by pleading with him to stay away, she was worried about her parents inside—she feared bringing disaster upon them! This showed her conscience had not yet withered; she was not the ruthless, licentious woman described in the original story.
Upon reflection, it made sense. At this point, Kang Min had likely not yet been deceived by that scoundrel, Prince Duan. It was only after being betrayed later that her psyche had slowly twisted, eventually turning her into a person of such extreme malice.
