    It's not a rebirth/transmigration story, and it's almost finished. The character settings are quite interesting. The female lead is a bandit leader, a rough-around-the-edges type, ruthless and taciturn. The male lead is a heartless lawyer, universally disliked, but despite his scoundrel nature, he's incredibly capable, a bit eccentric, and his character is very entertaining; it's rare to see this kind of "scoundrel-strong" male lead.
