   She has three ex-husbands, but it feels like it's just part of the plot. The female lead and these ex-husbands don't seem to have any deep, unwavering feelings for her. It feels like it's just a character setting, with the plot taking precedence.

    It's not exactly a 1vN story, but there are male supporting characters, and they're all quite good. The female lead's reasons for not choosing any of them are also reasonable; it's not the kind of friend-zoned behavior. Overall, her relationship with the male lead is very sweet.
