The plot is really good. The characters actually call the cops, and their 5 year old son isn’t some super genius. The ml’s family is cancer, but they like her after she saves all their asses (but I still don’t like them). I’m surprised no one knows her identity and still doubts her when she single handedly beat the strongest antivirus at the hacking competition and when she revolutionized the medical fieod with her prosthetic invention, but I guess authors just love to make their characters the hated underdog even though any sane and rational person would have no questions about her capability. After around chapter 80, this story takes a turn and becomes more action.

The male lead treated her respectfully during the relationship but was oblivious to his mother and family friend bullying her, and the female lead apparently didn’t say anything. It was an arranged marriage, and the female lead also hated relying on other people’s help even if she was on the cusp of death. Female lead filed for divorce, so he agreed to it. He gave her a lot of alimony, but she refused to take it and told the mother to keep it a secret that she wasn’t, even if her life was in dire straights. Ml went out of his way to help her once he found her again, but she went out of her way to refuse his help. He fell in love with her, but it feels a little shallow to other people because it feels like he only liked her after she became super capable. Once he realizes he likes her, he tries courting her and going to eat dinner with her, and doesn’t lock her up or rape her like some of those other mls do. Female lead seems pretty indifferent to his advances, as she neither gets mad at him nor does she get flustered by him and just simply brushes him off. She doesn’t want to remarry the ml, and doesn’t blush over him even after he blocked a car crash for her. She does care for his well being though, and without her, male lead and his entire family would probably be gone by now.

Female lead doesn’t let anyone talk down to her and is very cold and aloof. She never sucks up to anyone. If they refuse to cooperate, she just goes and grabs the files from their computer or has them kicked out or whatever. Ml is normally nice and well mannered, but if someone hurts or mistreats the female lead, he gets really angry and opposes them, even if it’s his own family or they make things hard for him. He didn’t care if they had a gun to his head and was planning to ruin the economy if they didn’t tell him where they kidnapped her. He didn’t know she was being mistreated but immediately after finding out he got angry.

The plot itself I cannot give spoilers, but a lot of people end up behind bars. Before it is just the typical family arguing, but eventually it really seems like a crime drama.

Just another story with a savage female lead wrecking those who try to bully her, which is a wonderful genre. Fyi, I think the male lead is her childhood friend (who she forgot about and thrn remembered), the one with the glasses who appears at almost chapter 30. They show that her ex husband did not intend for things to turn out that way, and they do have moments together, but despite that the story still makes it pretty clear he sucks, even if he isn’t trying to be, and the childhood friend guy is the opposite and does right everything the ex did wrong. For example, they make it a clear point that while her ex won’t even hear her out, her childhood friend is quick to defend her. Also, she has attraction towards the childhood friend and doesn’t care about the ex, and the other characters keep calling him handsome (which they usually do for the male lead).

The male lead thinks she’s a gold digger, so he tricks her into thinking she married his brother, when she was actually married to him instead. Then he repeatedly tries to rape her (like actual rape, not just hit on her), and she says no and tries to dodge him because she doesn’t want to cheat on her husband (which, unbeknownst to her, was actually him). Male lead is salty that she won’t cheat on him with, well, himself, yet at the same time still convinced that she’s a gold digger and keeps trying to sound her out even though all evidence points otherwise. At least the female lead has some pride in her self and doesn’t like getting disrespected by him, but she still fell for him relatively quickly when he barely behaved decently. Her family is also trash, but they’re not complete caricatures, just treat her as second class because she’s not their daughter, and she’s not the only sister getting treated unfairly either. The art is pretty good though.

I mean, it’s just another one of those stories with asshole ml and fl who’s only standards are “handsome” and “the richest” that I basically drop in 2 chapters.

Actually, if you think about it, she’s a 23 year old woman in a child’s body, so if she hooked up with someone her age that would make her the pedo, but since she doesn’t act her age it’s reasonable to forget. Also, the knight didn’t fetishize her age, and he didn’t seduce her or “groom” or manipulate her, and he sure as heck didn’t rizz her up or bust her down before her breasts even formed like an actual pedo would. Same reason why I read stories where the reincarnated person grows up with someone as a kid, it’s because they genuinely fell for the other person.

Now as for the story itself, I suppose it’s well written, but as usual with these isekais, you have to suspend your disbelief 24/7. Like how when they mentioned the happiest day in this girl’s life was apparently when she went horse riding and learned about the existence of magic stones and literally nothing happened. Like, she had 23+ years of life experience and this was the happiest day?

This fl is smart and easygoing. The story is just chill. Her preachy art lessons remind me of those Disney shows I used to watch. It’s good for its genre.

The female lead is composed and intelligent, but her revenge is not satisfying enough so far. It’s basically just convincing her dad and random people to do favors for her. The only thing she did to the nanny was cut off her tongue when she has been poisoning her since little. She had the maids in jail, but she just let them go without doing anything else. She never cried and seemed to have the upper hand, but she still got poisoned a bunch, still let them badmouth her like at the party, and didn’t really crush them down hard enough.
When she actually managed to do something satisfying, it was used as a time skip and glossed over. It feels like watching someone get beat up for 6 paragraphs and then 1 sentence at the end where they say they got revenge. Then the story went on hiatus (chap 45).
Female lead is calculating and has a great character as a revenge lead, but it just doesn’t satisfy me enough.
