The male protagonist doesn't seem to be a soldier. It's quite funny, but I only watched half of it. The latter part seems to be about revenge. I haven't watched it, but the first half is quite funny.

Check these out, the male protagonist is not a soldier! In the first book, the female protagonist is reborn, but her family favors boys over girls. After her rebirth, she falls out with her family and makes money to study. The male protagonist is bullied and has high IQ and low EQ, but he treats the female protagonist like a stick🉐. The same goes for the third book. Yes, the difference between the two books is that in the third book, the two of them got married when their daughter was in her twenties!
