    The first book is absolutely top-tier! The female protagonist is reborn to seek revenge, but she's not blinded by hatred. Her emotions become much richer later on, and you could say all the enemies she encounters are her teachers [thumbs up]. It's the pinnacle of strong female lead novels; she's the strongest fighter in their world, bar none, a stock pick favored by both demons and gods, and her actions are incredibly skillful.

    The most unconventional romance novel set in a wealthy family. A realistic love story set in a truly upper-class society, the male and female leads are deeply in love, their relationship evolving from initial avoidance to eventual sacrifice, a tale of extreme turmoil, sweet to the extreme, and sophisticatedly angsty—a masterpiece unmatched.
