drugged with an aphrodisiac and she walks into the room in the second suspicious encounter of the day from her and he asks her who she is, instead of saying anything she knees him, (apt reaction tbh), and runs away. Later when they have s*x months into their relationship, it’s fully consensual and it’s the ML who has his feelings played with.

spoiler alert: she doesn't immediately reciprocate his feelings. but he's hot so it's fine ;)

dumping her fiancé and moving out from her cousin's place

Honestly, I find the characters, main character including, to be a nothing special. Yes, the main character tried and did fulfill all of the requests made by the cannon fodder—I refuse to call this particular book character a supporting character since she wasn't even much of a supporting character... the book character was a literal stepping stone to the book's female lead's success. At least supporting characters in other books I've read actually had some form of character development in one way or another. The book's "supporting character"? Not so much. She was just... there. The other "main" characters? You have the typical book-Male Lead—cold, arrogant and possessive; the book-Female Lead—bubbly and warm personality (basically everybody is in love with her) ; the book-Second Male Lead—in love with the book-Female Lead but because of book-Male Lead, settled for cannon fodder, thereby contributing to the cannon fodder's less-than-idyllic life and eventual demise. Then, you have the main character's male lead. Honestly, the side characters and even the villains actually have more personalities than the main characters the author introduced us to. I'm sighing over such wasted materials.

She first met him when she almost fell and he caught her. He got interested in her when she kneed him in the babymaker since he nearly assaulted her because of, you know... drugs. I don't know what the hell types of drugs the authors think or know which are so powerful that it overrides all reasoning and their characters just turn into these base animals driven into this frenzied need for immediate copulation. Aphrodisiacs help heighten arousal but not to the point of making one want to copulate then and there. Another complaint I have, just like in a lot of modern or even some historical novels is that assault does not a romance make. The male leads and main characters' first or second meeting always end up with the main characters nearly or being assaulted by the male leads. What the hell?! And domineering and possessive men are okay but not to the point of being controlling, although the male lead had shaved those tendencies of being domineering and possessive off in front of the main character... somewhat. Thankfully, it didn't make me tear out my hair a lot.

So, the final part of the book is that book-Gu Jin was given a second chance, meaning she (book Gu-Jin) reincarnated to a certain time period and recovered all of the transmigrated-Gu Jin's memories. The reincarnated book-Gu Jin was thankful to the transmigrated-Gu Jin for changing her (book-Gu Jin) fate but she (book-Gu Jin) decided not to follow transmigrated-Gu Jin's footsteps and decided to forge her (book-Gu Jin) own. She (book-Gu Jin) mustered up the courage to finally have a proper conversation with Tong Lin, who could be considered the Second Male Lead in transmigrated-Gu Jin's life and was actually in the running for male lead if Mu Mingcheng didn't exist. I think in this life, book-Gu Jin will end up with Tong Lin because she (book-Gu Jin) is less assertive than transmigrated-Gu Jin and won't make a good partner for Mu Mingcheng, who eats secretaries for breakfast (hehe!). If Shao Chong (book-second ML and s*um extraordinaire) didn't recover his memories in this alternate time period, then book-Gu Jin might live a better life once she's away from Cheng Xin, Jing Hao, and Shao Chong.

Also lousy writing that he (the ml) thinks she is interesting and different from "virtuous woman " shown in her information just because she hits between the leg of a s*xual assaulter.

it was a s*xual assault to hug a random woman and pointing what between his legs into her waist.

even if it was a super virtuous super traditional woman would hit him there I think

There is nothing " interesting " about it

Also ML feels really creepy.

Like hugging, trapping in his arms type of things but they just met, where does his confidence comes from?

i personally felt creepy in those scenes

But fMC doesn't feel creepy at all.

He traps her in toilet after awards things, she has her period so he feels pity?

Would he r*pe her there if she didn't get sick?

then just to get back a jewellery he proposes to be his girlfriend and thinking 3 months I'll play her

Like the sudden rebirth of the MC's husband from the previous life. There is no build up for this, just him in the hospital and trying to call her before continuing to pursue her. Despite knowing he was responsible for her (and their unborn child) getting killed by kidnappers.

Someone tries to assassinate the MC and ML because they insulted the guy she was crushing on... who she could never be with anyway because he was legally her cousin. She paired up with the ML's maternal cousin because they were jealous that he might take over their positions in that family. Nevermind that their mutual grandfather was just using the ML to "sharpen" his grandkids (who are all useless) as the ML "could never inherit" the business as he wasn't a paternal grandkid.
