It seems to be approaching the last arc so I'll marinate.
The story is so good! And I really like the duo dynamic and how every one is built up. Many points are left for the imagination and watching them solve cases was healing. The occasional drama makes it even better!
I know it's too late to say this but ughh I should have read this before I accidentally saw a spoiler (but this has been on my reading list for a while so I doubt I would have remembered touching it unless I had seen the spoiler)... or at least I should have read this after I had forgotten the spoiler like what I did with windbreaker, then that would have made my reading experiece better. Well, too late to cry on spilled milk.
PLEASE SPARE ME YOUR TIME BECAUSE I'M GOING CRAZY TRYING TO FIND THIS MANHWA BECAUSE I'VE READ A LOT OF SIMILAR TROPES AND TITLES.
It's a historical manhwa, regression type. The female lead decides to make a deal with the emperor to take revenge on her bitchass cousin that she treats like a sister in the first timeline. Generic, right?? See where my problem is??
BUT!!!
I do remember this very specific lines that happens in a dance during a party.
The MC goes to the emperor (white hair, I think?) and then she KISSES HIM. And the emperor asks:
"Why did you kiss me?"
And MC answers...
"Because my cousin likes you."
And there was a sandal scene or drowning scene later on?? I forgoooot!!
Anyway, I don't exactly remember the whole story because I gave up midway because it was still ongoing the last time I checked. I just heard that it was completed now so yup, gonna get back to it.
I THINK THIS MIGHT BE IT?!???? LET ME KNOW PLEASE!

I just finished reading SVSS by mxtx and now I'm looking for a read that's like this in a nutshell:
"Male MC in a cultivation world and picks up the villain/hero of the story."
It's fine if there is no romance.
Please and thank you.
I like this one <3, 29 chapters in total and 5 extras, the extras are the best https://exiledrebelsscanlations.com/novels/my-junior-still-hasnt-killed-me/
I also like this one: https://bcnovels.com/chapter-1-every-day-protagonist-wants-capture/
Danmei ok?
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Legendary Master's Wife
Who cares Slander my Senior Brother
Transmigrating into a Mob Character to Rehabilitate the Villain
Not cultivation, but similar theme of mc picking up the villain/hero:
The Reader and Protagonist Definitely have to be in Love
For this one I gave this a 3/10, I think it was volume 2 that it went downhill, the MC was childish, annoying and the plot armour was ridiculous. It's giving SVSSS but if it was written by a teenager, I don't know what happened: https://www.novelcool.com/chapter/Transmigrating-into-a-Mob-Character-to-Rehabilitate-the-Villain-Plan-Chapter-1/178074/
I'm not sure if it counts but Paljae is pretty good! Its ongoing but the art style is pretty and there is romance.
I recommend listening to any warning put at the beginning of the chapter though, if you have a weak stomach. The main pairing is cute, but some events that take place can be disturbing.
WELL SHIT SOMEBODY FORGOT TO PUT THE TRAGEDY TAG FOR FUCKS SAKE.
It gives an in dept understanding of the industry (and those genes are crazy) but at the later point, some parts were all over the place. The ending was... well, it was good as it could get. I was not rooting for anyone at all so it didn't hurt as much. And while some people do hate it, that was mostly like the only way to end it in a satisfactlry manner.
My fav character is probably God. HAHAHAHAH!
