    I finished reading it myself. It's a slightly scary story with a strong female lead and no Mary Sue elements. The female lead is very smart and avoids the typical "must-be-saint" trope. She's also emotionally stable and not a typical "green tea" or "white flower" type of female lead. I finished reading this book a long time ago. The plot is very rich, the NPCs are all very well-developed, the plot is intricately linked, and the female lead is truly strong.

He killed without batting an eye and had a vicious tongue. And yet this ver 41.9kReads8.6Score6.1kShelves

    This isn't a mindless novel where the protagonist transmigrates into a villainous female supporting character with a system. The system says she can go back to her original state if she can clear her name. The female lead: Clear my name? In my dream, I'm the only one with an SSS-level guide, the choice of all S-level Sentinels. Clear my name? You're overthinking it. Why should I lower myself if I have that ability? System: Host, if you don't want to clear your name, how about just trying to live? Female lead: I can consider it.
