    Reader note

    [Laughing][Admiring][Already added to wishlist][Bookshelf added][Thumbs up] The female lead initially tears apart awful characters, later serving her country. Currently, she's a specially recruited military doctor participating in special forces selection. She's incredibly skilled in combat, seeking revenge immediately. Her spatial ability is achieved through sheer force of will. In the first chapter, she cripples a sleazy man with three lashes. She first throws the awful female supporting character's family into a latrine, then sends them to the desert to plant trees. She kills enemy agents and uses her spatial ability to empty the national treasury. It's an incredibly satisfying story. After beating up the awful characters, she also steals their wealth and gains merit points to exchange for magical treasures.
