Kind of cute, except for the misogyny. Her father would sell her to a brothel or to Bluebeard. His whimpering about money to the ML when she escaped was as almost as disgusting as him selling her (to die of a curse) in the first place. I am just constitutionally incapable of regarding ANY human being as chattel, and I'm unable to do anything but despise any person who treats someone that way, especially a daughter whose safety and well-being should be more important to him than his own.
