Shadow Queen
It grabs you by your metaphorical balls and doesn't let go. Slow, satisfying revenge. MC's rage is one that has been simmering and stewing for ages- but she's ever pragmatic and very cut throat. Genuinely one of the best revenge stories I've read. Eagerly waiting for updates. 10/10.
12/10 for the slow cooker revenge. I can appreciate playing the long game.
Under the Oak Tree
Steamy, steamy smut which I absolutely did not expect in this genre. Excellent chemistry, and both the leads are frustrating in the best way.
Edit, 03/09/21: I put this off for too long, hoping it would go over allahor cliffhangers, but I couldn't bear it anymore and ended up binging until I bit all my fingernails off.
Anyway, if you haven't already heard it before,then this is phenomenal. It's so fucking good that I don't even have any accurate adjectives for this. Even if you've never ever read any manhwa that's geared towards women before, if recommend you read this.

S1 was perfect. In terms of pacing, characters, dialogue, everything- it was a joy to read. Somehow, it's been a lot more difficult for me to read S2. It might be the change of art, but honestly, I believe the storytelling seems to have dipped in this new season. Things just don't seem that impactful anymore.
A Villain Is A Good Match For A Tyrant
Original premise, excellent characters, unforgettable and sizzling chemistry- and that's just the beginning. The dichotomy of how Cecile acts and how Cecile is, is so fun to read. The interactions between ML and MC are also excellent, and they go so well together. I wouldn't ask for anything to change.
The Stereotypical Life of a Reincarnated Lady
I feel that the main leads relationship in this is a lot more subdued than what we usually see in this genre- but that's not a bad thing. I think the leisurely pacing lends credence to their relationship, and it works really well here. The supporting characters are of significant note, and are so well-rounded. I enjoy this immensely. 10/10.
