In This Life, I Will Raise You Well, Your Majesty!
I Failed to Divorce My Husband
I LOVE THIS!!!
This might be the best manga of this genre I have and will ever read (villainess reincarnation and stealing the male lead).
The story has all the cliches you would expect from this type of story, but made better because the characters themselves are interesting.
The heroine isn't useless or working hard only for the male lead to trip her up at every corner. They're working together!!! It's lovely!
And they have friends who aren't just some hallow cheerleaders. Each supporting character is solid, having their own story and personality and is very important to the plot.
And the parents are wanderful from beginning to the end. They're not just some 'forget everything from their own child to their own purpose in life' and just pamper the heroine type, but have their own drama and flashbacks to their youth, love and child raising periods.
And don't get me starting on the male lead. I absolutely love him. He isn't some bordering on creepy possessive and sensely jealous types. He is the jealous type, but he doesn't jump on anything that moves near Ellen like a rabid dog.
He is sweet, supportive and a bit scheming. And although he is handsome, he doesn't have admirers jumping onto him from every direction.
There is conspiracy and plots and the story is slow, the villains aren't brainless lot waiting for the protagonists to whisk them up either. The protagonist take years and work hard to remove the concil.
