The female protagonist is reborn without any special abilities; she starts by breaking off her engagement, receiving compensation, and without arguing with the scumbag ex, immediately uses the money to start a business—setting up a street stall and opening a shop. The plot flows smoothly, the writing style is comfortable, and although the romance is minimal, the restrained and subtle portrayals of the male and female leads are truly captivating! Although still ongoing, the author seems to have trouble choosing titles and summaries, but the main text is excellent and definitely worth reading!
