   The art style gradually becomes absurd and silly. [Female disguised as a man + female boss + aloof beauty + a bit of a brainless cheat ability] A hilarious and silly coming-of-age story. The protagonist, a broken girl with an early-deceased father and a cowardly mother, is possessed by a female boss who transmigrates into the body of a seemingly useless girl. This female boss is an all-rounder, capable of making money and building a career, beating up trashy relatives, and kicking idiotic classmates. The male lead is initially aloof and unapproachable, but later uses money and any means necessary to seduce the female lead. The female lead is incredibly strong and makes a comeback, beating up the silly girl. The male lead is cunning, delicate, and easily swayed. Everyone is a standout. This is a non-traditional ancient romance novel with a less-than-satisfying ensemble cast, a coming-of-age story with a romantic pairing. It's not Mary Sue, not a saint, doesn't involve instant success, and doesn't involve overnight riches. The female lead talks a lot of nonsense, and the author is quite verbose.
