This is one of the few stories I know that really give justice to the title. I like the interaction between the ML and FL, they really do not want to lose to each other in terms of argument. I also like the ways that Ophelia did just to get divorce and everything of them failed because the og Ophelia is much worst. Though I was annoyed at the ML at first since he tends to use Ophelia, I'm glad that he taste his medicine. It's fun to see the... more>> jealous ML who denied his feelings, tries to forget his feelings and ending up confessing Hdiiawiqow <<less

I have read the story till the end, btw.

This story was absolutely horrible! In terms of plot! The plot doesn't make any sense!

There is no real stakes no real conflict! It has an open ended ending! What is the point of the politics of the end everything is left for us to guess???

... more>> The author should have just left the story as romance instead of adding world building and politics, because everything became useless one the FL and ML get together!

Why should a cheating adulterer become a king? Why should a psycho be the emperor? Utter nonsense! Nonsense! <<less

Its an really amazing story. Not the usual fall-in-love-MC. The MC is strong and faithful to her desire and doesn't forget her og goal. She strives for it.

Ah! Yes.. our hubby falls for. He's so kawaiiiii!!!! The banters Between him and MC are so comedic. He's really handsome. the author emphasizes his handsomeness in every chapter.

And the callian the prince FL has to seduce. He's a just a wild kitty! He likes the og FL because she uses cat toy of attraction with him... hehe~ bit*h like her will get... more>> an ending.

Till now the characters are shown in real-life view. And the point love-is-not-everything. Life comes first. Survivaliblity is imp too. <<less

Why low rated? This novel is so funny and hilarious. Just try read this novel!! It's so good, really!!

Characters are superficial but it's funny and entertaining especially the first half. A nice read if you want to kill time

Its a cute short read. The translation is simple but it ok. MC and ML is a good match. There’s weren’t much drama, no heavy stuff here. And entertaining read. Tq

TEMPORARY STARS RATING: 4/5

RECOMMENDED FOR: People who enjoy a light-hearted comedic story featuring a slow-burn romance between villainous couple.

STORY: It’s the typical lead reincarnating into a villainess who wants to avoid their death plot but it has heaping amounts of comedy, and light-heartedness. The romance is slow-burn without much tension (as of ch55), but the plot of the female lead trying to seduce the Crown Prince to obtain a divorce from the male lead is entertaining and interesting enough.

Personally, it doesn’t make sense why she would want to divorce her... more>> husband to prevent her death especially because as we go on with the story, there seems to be many ways for her to avoid it other than the divorce.

CHARACTERS: Ophelia is a good person who doesn’t fit being a villain, however she slowly fills the role quite well as the story goes on. Sylvester is also considered to be a villain, he is arrogant and cheerful (in his own way). The both of them make quite a villainous pair that reminds me of “A Villainess for a Tyrant”, but Sylvester’s deeds are less focused on than Ophelia’s, who tries to fix her reputation as a villainess. As of chapter 55, there isn’t still much romance going on between them but their dynamic is cute and refreshing, as they really compliment each other well. It would be interesting to see when Ophelia fully comes into her own shoes, and how they would truly become a power couple.

The story is definitely leaning on comedy and lighthearted, so the one dimensionality of the side characters doesn’t seem lacking or stand out. They are all so far entertaining and perform their roles quite well.

This story also features the typical original heroine who isn’t as good as she appears to be, and a Crown Prince who is immature and protective over the heroine. However it seems like the Crown Prince is maturing slowly as the story goes on.

TRANSLATION: The first several chapters (~chapter 20’s) was actually great. It had next to zero spelling, grammar, or continuity errors, and had great formatting which made it so easy to read. Kudos to the editor who made it seem like it was professionally translated.

However after these chapters, the drop in quality is so stark and significant. There are spelling, grammar, and continuity errors. And the formatting became stilted, that at several points it became difficult to know who was speaking. It seems like the editor from the first chapters was either replaced or gone. It was passable at first (~chapter 30-40’s) but the quality just continued to drop from there.

It made reading the rest of the story and getting immersed in it difficult, because it went from a proper translation to something just above transliteration.

OVERALL: A good and entertaining story, despite the plot flaws. I enjoyed the characters thus far, and I would love to continue reading it. However the change in translation quality just stopped me from fully enjoying the reading experience.

MY READING STATUS: I don’t want to drop this because I really find it enjoyable. So it’s on hold for now. Though at the moment, I’d most probably return only when better translations are out or if there is a manhwa for it. <<less

The interaction between the ML and FL are indeed funny. I chuckled a few times. The cherry in top is how the ML didn't fall head over heels to the FL right away. At first he was just using her until gradually, he fell in love. Unfortunaly, im dropping it. Aside from some juvenile and cringey scenes, I find it uncomfortable thinking about how she's going to end up hurting and using the CP. I don't dislike him. In the OG novel, the CP is like that because the OG ophelia was a straight up evil woman. She deserves to be killed if were to be honest.

Now though, it kinda feels like he's just an innocent bystander caught between unfair cirumctances against him. The countess is a two faced btch who only wants him because she wants to be empressed, he doesn't have someone he can really rely on , some people are going after his position and is hoping to install someone other than him. The title emperor is rightfully his, is it really his fault he's been kidnapped at a young age? And seriously, with how the OG ophelia treated him and the person he supposedly love, of course he's bound to hate her.

I just hope after all's been said and done, everyone will get their happy ending including the CP. He deserves to have someone who would genuinely love him and not just use him

Again, I'm dropping this at chapter 37 so I don't know what's his deal or how his story is going to end. I may be making such a huge deal over him as well and he may end up to be a jerk in the end though so my ramblings will be all for naught :))

The new Ophelia is kinda annoying as well. I'm pretty sure things just go her way because of plot armour. The low ratings in some reviews covered it

This was very fun to read. Most savage couple 🔥🔥 and translation is very well done. The writing style of the author is most awesome here.. The flow of conversation was so good that I went on reading it without realising abt time.

I found a gem. A diamond gem, it's not your typical ml- FL relationship where they would avoid each other and gradually develop. But they get along really well, they are very fun and I love how they tease each other. When Ophelia call Sylvester honey I really jumped from my bed. I really recommend this gem. I know it's an exaggeration but I really really love this it really piqued my interest. Hope many will read this. Also the translation is good. Thank you for the good food you... more>> serve. <<less

The most enjoyable couple dynamics ever!

It might be slowburn and the stepontheFloor girl might be an annoying antagonist... But the main couple is just perfect.

It's not too pushed but you will love the way the characters slowly find their way together... And once the chapters with Sylvester's POV start coming, it's becoming one hell of a ride.

Can only recommend!

This is alright. For me it was good. Just a bit cringey as they bicker with eo and sormetimes it was not necessary. But u can tolerate it. Maybe I read worst novels that's more illogical, that's why I hav tolerance to read this. Anyways some part of the story was illogical.

Spoiler

that time when ML wants FL to stop seducing the og ml. It is reasonable that time FL should reconsider her position in the story of the plot. Since she doesn't want to be involved and wants live freely without worry she should just drop the act. FL that time didn't agree they bicker and had a small fight, nothing much. But later it was dropped like its nothing. I mean why prolonged it?

Or that time

Spoiler

when FL asks ML to mot support the 2nd prince. It was cuz 2nd prince have a magic circle that could help ML summon his mother. But later when ML met his mother they exchange few words and it was done.

[collapse]

I think the author had trouble making reasons behind their actions. As I mentioned, about ml's mother, it feels like the author wants to have meaningful reason why ML supports the horrible being 2nd prince while not making the ML looked bad.

I think the novel had potential when written again. At least on the second time the author knew what lacks in the story. Overall this is a good read, dont have high expectations <<less

I remember reading this it's not good the first few chapters that's supposed to get you hooked did not hook the plot is they made a bet to let the crown prince fall for her and if he does you know the ML pays her it would've been better if she they were a team ik ik sounds dumb but she know about her powers she didn't try to be a good person so she could play the villain role in her own way they're both villains and she hated... more>> the crown prince for manipulating the og villainess soo <<less

They're a good couple, the story was good enough to have you immersed in it, but the ending left a bit to be desired, I fell like it was to be something more impressive and dramatic, and maybe I put too much expectation into it, but it was a good read and I don't regret the time I spent reading this❤️

When I first read this series, I think it was fun. The FL is funny, actually I love the FL a lot. And actually I support the relationship between the FL and ML here. They're cute and funny. I smiled a lot when I read about them.

But yeah I have to admit that there's some point that is a bit disappointing and the ending is maybe not as I have expected; maybe I had too much expectations for the ending because in the earlier chapters I really love this... more>> series. Nevertheless, overall i'll still give this somewhere around 4/5 for the rating since I remember I love it a lot when I read the earlier chapters and I concluded that overall I still enjoy my time reading this novel, so yeah. Thank you author and the translation team for this novel :) <<less

I love the MC and honestly Sylvester is one of my favourite ML till now. As a couple, they have an amazing chemistry, they're always joking or making fun of each other in a funny and cute way. I also really like how the ML is pretty much always sarcastic but don't understand other people sarcasm and always ask the FL for a double check, like "honey is he sarcastic right now?", it's hilarious.
