    Initially, I was put off by the title, but seeing the high ratings, I patiently finished reading. The female lead discovers she's been cheated on and promptly changes her boyfriend, but the new guy also treats her as a substitute. It ends in a tragic ending. It's a relatively fresh take on an old plot, and the writing is smooth.
