What happens when you read a lot of reborn novels, people sometimes complain how the character, usually the villain/villainess, get "taken over" and become a fake protagonist. They use their modern knowledge and golden fingers to win in life, but retain nothing of their past unassuming selves, writing it all off in a footnote. What I love about this novel is how, Lena, the protagonist of this novel, doesn't become your typical mc. She doesn't suddenly regret the ways of the original nor does she berate her actions. In fact, lingering feelings still affect her in some ways and help build her as a strong, independent character. It was a slow transformation. She comes to terms with both selves and acknowledges both of them. She even pays tribute to the former Lena and justifies herself. Her form of weapon: living well! She also doesn't try to appease and wait upon the true ML and FL of the story like most other reborns do, inadvertently becoming the true hero in the progress. Lena realizes she can only rely on herself and her family as she takes steps to built on her skills and resources. Recognizing she's truly weak and powerless, she has no true golden finger. Here especially is where the previous Lena's relentless and arrogant character helps push her forth, granting her courage in the face of her enemies. As for the ML, Kris seems like your typical villain second lead. He ruthless, domineering, and willful to the extreme! That paired with his not just women but people hating ways, he's your run-of-the-mill cheery boy ML who will come to dote upon the MC exclusively. Personally not a favorite, but I can see why they're so popular, especially when they're so well thought out. There's a certain satisfaction to making them fall αƒš(Β΄Ϊ‘`αƒš) This novel gives the two a much more equal relationship; they mutually benefit from each other. Kris starts to cure his people phobia and fulfill his long-time wish of hugging his mother, while Lena learns the ins-and-outs of the true business world. Their banter especially give the characters more form instead of the usual male God and Goddess pair. They're much more human and the interactions between the two are pure comedy gold! This isn't a true revenge novel where the MC(s) slay their way to the top. Each character has circumstances unrelated to the MC and the world doesn't revolve around her alone! The author has really good sense and none of the conflicts get dragged onto nth million chapters (I exaggerated a little... but not by much πŸ˜‚). Although there are some mistakes here and there, they aren't so glaring that it takes away from the novel. An overall fun and light-hearted read! And with consistent updates!!!! Much appreciation and love πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• .... Boy, I swear I wasn't planning on writing an essay πŸ˜…

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, without offence I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say

It's so upsetting! It's about second lead syndrome, yet giving me second lead syndrome that I can't even. The ML hires people to kill her and they end up together! Whereas Gary (2ML? I don't know I stopped after the ML tried to kill her) has always supported her and loved her. She hated that the FL chose the ML who hadn't always loved and supported her. But then she does the same thing! When will the loyal sidekick 2ML be chosen! Seriously if anyone has any recs where the 2ML is chosen, please tell me.

if you like abusive CEO who tried to hurt FL very baldy, but FL ends up falling in love whit him knowing he tried to hurt her, then this is for you. (not talking about the gangster who tried to rape her, FL had two bounties on her, one made by villain, other made by ML, so even if ML ends up falling in love whit her later in the story, he did still pay people to make her "immobiled" in other words handicapped, and FL knows he did this, still she falls in love whit him). But for all means, if you like abusive CEOS who is mentally psychopath, then this is just for you.

I'm glad I didn't drop it. We all got confused and fought about who ML is but my jaw dropped when he turned out to be the least expected. Good job!πŸ’ŽπŸ’–

I can't see the concept of the SML. Obviously the ml is the ml, just not the one that I expected especially with the title and the way the villain said that she would choose the second lead who is poor who treats the first lady better or yea whatever. I'm saying I think this is great story but not just really what I expected because I have a heart for second lead you know haha and the second lead here for me is gary. He is the poor second lead man who loves her but is just being used. So yea bye.

I don't regret reading this in my leisure time. It's so nice and sometimes I felt that Lena should just built harem instead of dating any one of the male characters. This can be like a strong woman's struggle in aristocratic circles. It's not the cliche' romance story and this fits my taste! Keep it up, dear Author! πŸ’• from Malaysia.

it's a really great story, it'll make you ponder who will be her partner bc almost all of the love interests are having the so-called 'Second Male Lead Syndrome'. I've gotten past 100+ chapters so my review my not be much but I really liked how this story progresses so far. keep up the great work author!! fighting!!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. The title makes sense as we go further into the story, and now I get why *He* is the second male lead. It’s very satisfying to see that we all went from hate to like and eventually love him :D. I’m still at the middle chapter because of fast-pass need, but I really do hope *he* ends up with her :D.

In my opinion, this story is ok, not the best and not the worst. Writing quality is meh but pretty good among stories written by non-professionals. Story isn’t really my cup of tea because of the personalities of the characters but it’s just a personal opinion.

First... The cover catched my attention. Second... The second lead syndrome always happened to me when I watch drama, can't be cured, I guess.... So thirdly, I start to read the chapter 1 and voila... got hooked. Keep writing, Author. Thank you!

Over all, I really enjoyed this story, It's fun and stuff. I was really rooting for Gary since he seemed like the typical second male lead and he was always there for Lena. It was kind of a surprise when the ML was Kris since he was the one I least expected but it's all good. I really pity Gary to be honest, he's the one which I have grown to love. but this story is really good
