    She transmigrated into a novel as a terrible female supporting character, without a spatial system, and the writing is excellent, but the early stages are extremely frustrating, making you want to punch the female lead and the author. It's not satisfying.

    I highly recommend this book. The female protagonist is reborn and takes revenge on the villains. In her previous life, she married the second male lead but was abandoned by him after he lost his usefulness and she was tortured to death. In her reborn life, the female protagonist is very powerful. She is good at scientific research, creates a business empire, and has an equally powerful male lead who always supports her. The second male lead can't get what he wants from her and suffers all kinds of heartbreak at her hands.
