   It's readable, readable! Pure romance fans, turn left! The female lead is a complete villain, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it 😘 The plot only gets to the part where she fakes a miscarriage before it's pretty much over. I'm quite picky about books and don't have much patience, but this one still managed to keep me reading over 100 chapters in one night 😄

   The plot is very engaging, especially the early ambiguous phase between Ah Xu and Xiao Xue—it's so sweet! Ah Xu is incredibly brave! But sometimes I really feel sorry for her because she's a supporting female character in the story and has been forced to suffer so much. Xiao Xue is a guide; she might use force but won't actually hurt Ah Xu, and the powerful minister's abilities also protect Ah Xu well. This young couple deserves a long and happy life together!

   This is really good. Although the female lead is a villainous supporting character, she's a much kinder person compared to the main female lead in the book. And there's no sense of the main female lead feeling resentful; it's a very satisfying read. You should check it out (cautious readers can read the synopsis first to see if there are any triggers for them).

   This is a very different kind of novel featuring a female protagonist. The author's writing is delicate and smooth, yet humorous and witty. It's the best "bad girl" and "love triangle" novel in my opinion. The plot doesn't feature mindless, brainless female rivalry; instead, it portrays many real, normal, and beautiful girls. The supporting characters and the female lead are well-developed and vivid. Most importantly, she's completely genuine—not pretending to be good, not pretending to be weak, and not placing herself in a position where she can be taken advantage of by various men. On the contrary, I especially love this aspect. Finally, I have to say, after reading this, how can I possibly read other novels with a more subdued perspective? I can only eagerly await the author's new book!

   The female lead, Li Sui, is kind to everyone except the male lead. For the sake of her beloved, she accepts a "glorious" mission: to cheat on a scumbag and teach him the taste of betrayal. After completing the mission and nonchalantly running away with the words "Just playing around," she discovers—she's completely mistaken! The scumbag she cheated on wasn't a scumbag at all; it was none other than Pei Jingxiao, the arrogant king of Peking University, whom no one dares to mess with! Now the whole school is waiting to see this "scumbag girl" make a fool of herself, but instead, they see the arrogant king with a fresh head of green hair, cornering her against a wall, his eyes red and pleading, "You can find as many as you want, just don't leave me." This hilarious comedy of unexpected twists and turns is a must-see!
