She possessed an evil woman who loves the main lead and killed her husband.

Fortunately, the timeline was before she killed her husband.

And unfortunately, everyone knows she loved the male lead so much. In this case, she would have to get a divorce as soon as possible.

But why…

“Crazy, crazy, crazy. I just heard it. I didn’t know it was crazy,” my husband said, tearing apart the divorce papers I gave to him. “I can’t help it. I have no choice but to live with a crazy woman.”

No, you do have a choice?

FL & MLs interactions are so funny!! 😭 Everything regarding the divorce doesn't really make sense to me tho. She doesn't need a divorce to avoid her bad ending. She died in the novel cuz she got manipulated by the Crown prince into killing her husband. If she really wanted to avoid her bad ending, she just needed to distance herself from the Crown Prince.

This is for the confused people out there

So basically the reason Ophelia still had to divorce Sylvester even though it's easier to not get herself involved at all is (this is by my logic btw) because if the Crown Prince were to ascend to the throne, the first family he would get rid of is highly likely Ryzen duchy since they didn't support him and is a thorn to him. Soooo if he were to get rid of the whole duchy that means Ophelia whom, if you can't tell,... more>> still possessed the seat of Duchess of Ryzen, would die too.

And for my review, you guys most definitely should read it. It's a literal gem, the ML and FL relationship is very funny and their childish banters are always funny. Makes me want to get married to but sadly I am single and unwanted smh. Most important is that you should give this novel a try, don't let bad reviews deter you from reading and go judge for its value yourself 😌 <<less

I have binge read all the chapters available (91) as of writing this. As someone who reads a ton of these genre of novels (aka I have read 100s in this genre by now), this was surprisingly refreshing and different-- 5/5 stars, defintely read if you're tired of the same old same old!

Our FL has actually transmitigated into the body of a full-on villainess, who hit, beat, & cursed people with black magic. She is a strong black magic user and is well known for her destruction and... more>> bad personality. She can't be prosecuted due to the protection of her equally villainous Duke husband. Our FL comes into her body at the peak of her villainy. She thinks she will die if she stays married to her husband, so she makes a deal with her husband in exchange for an eventual divorce.

In other web novels, the focus on "showing people she has changed" is not at the forefront, but this novel is all about that. However, our FL is still kind of evil (but kind-hearted at the same time) --her Duke husband has asked her to seduce the Crown Prince in exchange for her divorcing the Duke & living a peaceful life alone. So, she is really scheming and is swaying everyone's emotions around her for her own personal gain while pretending to be a changed kind woman. Of course, she is defintely not evil like the original Ophelia (Fl's name) was, but our FL is no saint herself.

This really is NOT your typical transmitigation into body of a villainess noble woman. It has so many interesting components and stays faithful to the genre in an interesting way, and the dynamic between our FL and her Duke husband is wonderfully written. <<less

Very funny characters and the dynamic continues to develop in a realistic manner between our FL and ML.

It's unlike a lot of Isekais which speed through the societal bewilderment at the sudden change in personality of the FL (from villain to a reincarnated being).

This doesn't do that haha. It shows the effort and long road ahead for our FL to truly achieve her goals and survive in this new world.

The FL is strong, but naive at times which is both relatable and very enjoyable to see her character development and... more>> ingenuity in the face of such change & hardship.

The reason the FL wants a divorce: freedom. From the hints we've been given, in her former life she was hospitalised and near death. All she wants in this life is for her health and life to not be in constant threat. She knows in her current married and penniless stage... she's at

CONSTANT risk & mortal danger

of either her husband's enemies or enemies of the body she's inhabiting killing her.

And death is the one thing she is absolutely petrified about.

Her only way out? Appease the husband who hates her and play to his tune. His request? Seduce the Crown Prince. Why? (From what I've surmised)

  1. To see if she can really do it.
  2. He has beef with her father (but we don't know why as yet).
  3. To have an insider with the Royal family and further his control.
  4. For shits and giggles (he finds her new iteration amusing).
The relationship between our FL and ML is definitely in the early stages, but each interaction is funny and entertaining. But also realistic in depicting how cagey they both are to one another.

This is definitely an interesting read. I'm still bewildered by the low rating as it's GENUINELY good. The translation is great and the characters are interesting.

Definitely a must read <<less

This is my first time writing a review. I’ve been reading this novel for a long time and now the current chapter when I writing this review is Chapter 89. Okay now, I’ll start.

Firstly, I really love the chemistry between FL and ML. It’s quite rare to fine this kind of interaction. I also love how the author explain the scene in the novel, it’s hilarious really. I can’t stop laughing reading them.

However, I starting to change my mind as I read the novel.

  1. Spoiler

    First, the ML offered a deal. The FL need to seduce the crown prince (og hero) in order to divorce. Like wth? I just can’t understand what’s the point of her doing this. But I just ignored it coz I thought the plot might be fun.

    [collapse]
  2. Spoiler

    The og heroine and og hero are so annoying seriously. The crown prince acting so childish, like how the vuck do you become a crown prince? So immature really

    [collapse]
  3. Spoiler

    After that, the ML starting to realised about his feeling for the FL due his trauma which is understandable for me. It’s hard to love someone especially when you already have been betray before so I can understand even tho it’s quite annoying whenever he tried to denied his feeling for her.

    [collapse]
  4. Spoiler

    After that, the female lead started to annoyed me. I mean, I can understand that she want to get divorced so she seduced the crown prince. But sometimes it just really bothering me even tho I know that it’s a deal. I mean, deal or not, it’s still call as cheating right? And then, the FL also hate the idea if the ML started to cheat on her like wtf gurl. What do you think you’re doing then? Seriously.

    [collapse]
So yeah, I really enjoyed this novel at the beginning, but now, I don’t think I can enjoy this as much as I enjoyed at the beginning of the novel. The current chapter right now is Chapter 89 but I still haven’t got a romance between them. I’m thinking of dropping this somehow but I already made it this far so I guess I’ll just wait for it.

I would like to thank you for the translator and the others for the translation. I’m really grateful for it. I’m sorry for my grammar and thank you for reading this humble opinion and review. Have a nice day, cau!

It bothers me how adultery is being normalized in this novel...

Spoiler

The original FL was a Countess who already had a husband.

[collapse]

But all that happened in the previous novel, and had nothing to do with our MC and ML, so I'll turn a blind eye to it... (Still, the author shouldn't romanticize adultery)

Don't worry! Our MC and ML are very cute, and their interactions are hilarious.

EDIT: I slapped myself in the face, this novel turned to tr*sh. I would give this a 2-3.5 now. The FL became obnoxious and hypocritical and the plot became cluttered and meaningless ... more>>
Spoiler

Yeah, it's a task to basically cuckhold your husband, but than you get jealous when you see him with other woman??? At the very end she says to the OG FL that she shouldn't rely on men to have a living, despite acknowledging that that's the only way a woman could do so in these times (yeah, woohoo lets totally forget about the side characters she made very rich thus proving her point rather useless) and the dumbest thing is that FL also does the same freaking thing??? What happened to being shamelessly in love with money and literally transmigrating and getting instant everything and not earning a single thing yourself Miss girl? The open ending makes literally no sense, if you put all that world building/side plot it NEEDS to have a conclusive ending otherwise it's just a waste of time.

[collapse]

It's 5/5-4.5/5 it's not super complex or groundbreaking. It's not mysterious or long winded like other super popular isekai novels. However, the characterization is fantastic and mostly realistic. Most of the time with transmigration stories, the protagonist has a protagonist halo and everyone falls in love with her just because she's her. She faces absolutely no consequences, even though the OG character is scum. This isn't the case here. The FL is smart, but not overly smart nor does she have any other hack besides her original memory of the novel and her realistically slightly above average intelligence and benefits of being rich, beautiful and powerful. The ML actually has character flaws that aren't just being "cold and indifferent to feminine charm super virg*n + OP CEO ". He's pretty petty also isn't a good person by any stretch nor does the author white wash him to being a secular standard good person. In fact none of the characters are, they're all greedy in their own sense but it's portrayed differently. Original FL is classic fake white lotus who's a ladder climber, current FL is your classic 21st century gal who isn't a purity sue thinking she's above the lure of money and power, and original ML is a cute little home wrecker. ML also isn't a tr*shy yandere despite being jealous (even though he TOLD MC to green hat him for the sake of destroying the crown prince) he can't fully control her. He clearly tells her he doesn't trust her /watches her, but the power dynamic in their relationship isn't " I have to obey and can't leave him waah I can't do anything " which is so refreshing. A novel that doesn't romanticize stock hold syndrome is rare nowadays. Anyone who doesn't get the reason why she wants/ needs to divorce ML lacks reading comprehension or logic. ML, classic villain who blah blah politics and he has a high chance of being executed because he's to dangerous to keep around. If she stays with him for a fact if he gets punished, she will too. They're married, and she has a horrible reputation so they wouldn't spare her. Plus the moment the storyline runs it's course, she doesn't have any hacks anymore. It's pretty obvious it's safest to get the hell away from politics regardless whether he wins or loses it won't benefit her to take risk when she has little benefits <<less

I like this novel. FL is not as bad as the previous review said. I was not sure I wanted to read it before because of what the comments from the lowest rating said, but when I read it, it was really fun. FL and ML relationship is very exciting. Some of the novels I've read before rarely have characters with this dynamic. I was impressed every time they interacted or exchanged sentences it was very fun to read.

Luckily I don't really listen to bad comments about the novel. If... more>> only I had, I could miss a good story like this.

And the translation is good. <<less

I’m so confused... idk if it’s the translation or the author’s choice of word...

I don’t understand their motives, a lot of times I feel like they put the cart before the horse, making me feel confused

if ur main motivation is to have a good life, why do you have to divorce? Ur husband doesn’t care about what u do, u can use unrestricted amount of his money and can use his name to bypass almost anything, and u are powerful enough reputation wise, no one can touch u. So... more>> why divorce? Why desperate enough to seduce the crown prince? It’s not like ur good at it. U could just travel and waste ur husband money, he won’t even search for you even if u travel for a year or so (this is the vibe that I get from the story). I don’t think that the crown prince can kill u as long ur still married to ur husband, and ur husband lets u be, ur basically free to do anything with so much money and power.

what I don’t understand the most is why is she trying so hard to improve her reputation? Who are u trying to impress? And why get so offended/hurt when other people expected the worst knowing that the body that u got is a real villainess? Even it wasn’t u who did those nasty things, ur body did those things. So it makes sense if they don’t believe ur words, I mean what do u expect sis?

For the comedy, I know it’s subjective but hmmm it’s a bit too dry idk. Like when she tried to steal money but the husband praised her for it or other kinds of misunderstanding, most of the time my reaction was like... okay... (?)

For the romance, ML is like ‘she the only one that wasn’t attracted by me’. FL is like ‘*ba dump* oh! I hope I won’t fall for him!’. Also, I cringed max when the FL fell on top of the ML and they’d be all blushy and the abrupt/ artificial tension is just so toe curling.

Anyway, I’m just being salty cuz I had expected more from a 4 ⭐️ rating novel. It’s like getting hyped for a new menu but the food taste like greasy cardboard, really not worth the calories. Or maybe I just read really good novels and this novel is unlucky enough to be read afterwards so my standards are still up there and the comparison is too stark.

Anyway, I’m usually biased to characters that I think we can get along irl and I don’t think I can get along with this FL. I think she’d be the type of friend that kept going back to her s*um ex although we had talked about it so many times. Just the type of people that I don’t understand. <<less

This manhwa deserves a high rating (in my opinion). I came to binge read this after seeing that it got serialized this morning. And it didn't disappoint!

Their banters and playful arguments are just my favorite! I love love love Sylvester. He's not the typical and bland cold and cruel duke of the north. It's a breath of fresh air to have a male lead who has a personality like him. TRULY! I also love how og Ophelia was literally a villainess. TO THE CORE! To other novel authors out there,... more>> take note!

I must admit though that it was really frustrating somewhere around chapter 50-90 I think? It's just full of misunderstandings and miscommunications thingy and I really hate those. But I read through it with gritted teeth and was greatly rewarded.

I promise to you all that it's good, very thrilling! The character developments are so heartwarming. Shout out to Crown Prince Callian! That was a good decision, keep up the good work! Sylvester may have realized his feelings early but Ophelia didn't so a bit of patience is needed. THE INTERACTIONS ARE SO CUTE, I PROMISE!

This is my first review so I'm not sure how or should I put some of those spoiler thingy but idk how to so please pardon me.⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠ (⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠) ⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠. <<less

Why did I dislike this novel so much? Because it irritates me that every chapter I read doesn't make sense, and I'm also annoyed by how the FL acts; why didn't she correct the og fl's actions? I understand that the og ML won't believe her, but in the one scene where they're in the og ml's house, why the fvck is she just standing there waiting for a fxcking miracle that the og ML will be seduced by her. I thought I'd discovered the perfect one. I've never been... more>> annoyed by a novel in my life. And she's a completely moron.

Lots of people are saying this is worth the read, so I will continue, but I have to say it is hard because the MC is pretty s*upid... She lets everything go, even when it goes against her intention. She wants to ask a favor from someone, so maybe don't come uninvited and crash her tea party? She knows the lady is scared of her! And when she discovers the painting's value she wants to give it back, but just gives up when her husband says he wants to keep... more>> it. You want to seduce the prince like the OFL did, so try to become nicer?

The MC doesn't seem to have common sense and it is frustrating. Everytime she does something, I get out of the story because I cannot believe someone would act like this. I spend my time thinking about the many things she could have done instead and so I don't enjoy it.

I believe this is meant to be a comedy before anything else, since the MC messes up everything she is trying to do. I will try to read it with this mindset, but frankly, the MC only taking bad decision is not the kind of humor I enjoy. <<less

This novel is a GEM.

What great, well developed, interesting personalities. And I'm not just talking about the leads! Side characters with actual quirks, cunning, and ambition! Amazing!

The FL is fantastic. Firstly she is hilarious, which is one of the reason the ML fell for her. She's also clever. And not the usual 'transmigrator smart' that usually involves either (a) the transmigrator using OG world or novel knowledge as a cheat or (2) the narrative telling you the MC is smart or using idiot foils to make them seem smarter. FL... more>> is clever and good at plotting, even holding up against other cunning and intelligent characters (like the ML). I also adore that she isn't some saint. She's greedy (a fact ML uses to his advantage when he's trying to get her to fall for him) and petty. I also love that she has a soft spot for ambitious and greedy characters; it always feels hypocritical to me in novels when any character with an agenda or desire to improve their circumstances is automatically painted as 'bad'. Ladder climbing isn't a sin.

I also like that the FL still contemplates getting a divorce even after she starts to have feelings for the ML. Of course she's going to blush and feel moved when a super hot, super witty, super wealthy man who is in love with her starts flirting. Who wouldn't? But she's ultimately a very pragmatic and sensible person, who isn't going to commit to marriage just because of something that might be merely a crush. I think a lot of readers forget that it's normal for people to fall in and out of love. Who in the real world hasn't had multiple boyfriends/girlfriends in their lives? So it makes sense for the FL, as a modern woman, not to change all her plans at the first stirrings of affection & attraction. I really like that she's very cautious and reasonable about it.
Spoiler

She actually thinks to herself that although she likes the ML, she isn't sure yet if it's just a strong attraction or real love. He is, after all, still a secondary villain who is hurtling himself towards a BE by supporting the ultimate villain (the second prince). If she's going to risk her life and peaceful future, she's only going to do it for real love, not for a crush. A+++

[collapse]

Spoiler

Some people have expressed annoyance at the OG FL's (Fleur) ending not being bad enough, but I disagree. Actually the FL herself acknowledged that Fleur isn't that bad. A little s*upid and petty, but she follows her desires. Again, social climbing isn't a sin or a bad thing. Nor is trying to improve your economic/social situation. We all want that. Yes, Fleur did a lot against our MC, but the original Ophelia started it and did way worse, including physically assaulting Fleur multiple times, hiring people to kidnap and r*pe her, etc. So it's not as if Fleur was scheming against some innocent victim.

Also, considering the fact that everyone forgave the MC for the monsterous things she's done (yes she's a different person, but they don't know that), it would be hypocritical for Fleur not to be afforded the same chance as forgiveness.

[collapse]

The ML is another jewel. Again, he has an actual personality that isn't just 'cool', 'arrogant', 'overbearing'. Like the FL, he's witty and hilarous. Their banter is hysterical. He's also incredibly shameless and extremely blunt. The novel does give him the usual sad backstory, but it's for the purpose of motivation and plot, not for the sake of whitewashing all his bad decisions. The ML is ruthless and ready to do anything to fulfill his goals, and wholly unapologetic about it. ML is a cutie in love though. After falling for her, he tells the FL not to go near the prince anymore. When she ask what he'll do if she goes near him, the ML's reply is "I will sulk". Hilarious! Cute! Jealous without being a psycho yandere! We love it. All in all, this novel is definately a 4.5-5 star for me. <<less

I loved this story. I started reading this novel about a year and a half ago, and now I've finally finished it, or rather, I've almost finished it.

Ophelia is very smart, funny, shy, beautiful and proactive.

Silvestre is very clever, doesn't understand sarcasm, is very attractive, shameless, funny and is a charmer when he falls in love.

Honestly, the novel is pretty entertaining. It entertained me for 2 and a half days. It was pretty easy to read. I wasn't really satisfied with how "gentle" the MC approached the people who constantly opposes her. I kinda want a brutal version. Like: slap-these-b*tches-and-bastard sort of. The ending is... I think might have been rushed?¿. I'm glad the couple is happy tho.

The overall story really is entertaining per say because the journey to "getting divorce deal" sum it all up. The ML didn't really fall hardly inlove with her... more>> immediately too. By all the couple's interactions, it all just resulted to happiness. I like the story for entertaining me because the MC journey to divorcing-to-not-die became I-just-want-to-live-a-peaceful-life to I-want-to-be-happy-life. Her life experience really is very entertaining especially her interactions with her husband. Theyre the best. My comment might be sloppy... but it came from my heart lol. Jk. It came from a sleep deprived nursing student 😆 <<less

This novel deserves more 1 star. The FL is so plain dumb and very s*upid. I'm annoyed how she act. She don't want to get involve with the crown prince but here she is trying to seduce him for the sake of divorce. How the fvck you will change the person that hates you? She will never change the people perception of her because of real Ophelia atrocities. I can't take her seriously.
