    1️⃣Although the title seems a bit immoral, the plot is quite good. The female lead usually takes revenge on the spot and secretly instigates infighting among people she doesn't like. The romance develops quickly too. (The minor flaw is that some typos were not corrected, but it doesn't affect the reading experience.)
