   I, who almost never read serialized novels, made an exception. I felt the character design and plot were quite fresh, despite the generic title. The content is genuinely good. I recommend this book. The plot is incredibly fast-paced, the female lead is both cool and intelligent, and her revenge and ruthlessness are masterful. She takes down the villains quickly, swiftly and decisively. What's special is that the female lead is also a psychological illustrator, an exceptionally talented artist. This is a first for historical fiction. The male lead is also impressive, a squadron leader who is devoted to the female lead. He even has the ability to spot scheming women and handles his own unwanted romantic advances without constantly bothering her. Aside from his fake older brother's family, the male lead's family is also quite good; there aren't too many awful characters to deal with. It's a novel that's gentle on the breasts.
