   It's not exactly a wish-fulfillment story, and it's even quite angsty, but the premise is what you'd expect. Romance isn't the main focus; the female lead is extremely career-driven. After being reborn, I went from being a beautiful, strong, and tragic character to a tool used to help my best friend get together with my ex. If the ending isn't what I want, then let's all perish together.
