As a female supporting character who causes trouble at every turn and brings about her own doom, Yue Ruyu has to say: this kind of plot is just too thrilling.
P.S. The male lead is the big villain. His values may not be quite right at the beginning, but from then on, the female lead will be his moral compass.
The female lead is clever, not a naive little flower.
I won't vilify the original novel's male and female leads. They will end up together in the original story (probably).
