I started reading this story because it's rare that there is a tag "Not a harem". But the male lead is a playboy who will have new girls every day. Not my cup of tea. Plus in the beginning, the FL showed some self respect for herself by avoiding ML advances saying that how can she be with a jerk who tasted almost all the girls in the country. I was shocked later to see that Ethan is the ML, i thought it will be someone else. Just he treated her better, she accepted him. They why pose high and mighty as if a playboy like him does not deserve her. I stopped then and there. Plus the narration style is a bit off too. Abrupt jumps are annoying.

Read up to chapter 16. Wanted to give it a shot because of its good reviews but the writing quality, grammar, and the whole ~chu ending dialogue by the main character's system deterred me from reading further. However, I did appreciate the fact that the main character (Lexi) of this novel wasn't reborn to the past but just given a second chance after her suicide attempt, which is unique as she still has to face and deal with her past mistakes instead of returning to a clean slate like many other reborn novels. Essentially, the premise is interesting but the execution is lacking. Additionally, I couldn't sympathize wholly with the protagonist. It isn't simply because she is a "vicious" character—there are plenty of antihero/villainous protagonists that I sympathize with even if I don't agree morally with their actions. There just wasn't much depth or background motivation added to her character to make me sympathize with her, especially since all her actions seem to point at her getting her just desserts even if she did fall in love with a douchebag who didn't appreciate her (doesn't justify her actions though). There's potential for interest in her redemption, but there isn't enough interest so far to continue reading. I would definitely suggest the author add more details/descriptions and inner thoughts of the main character earlier on in the novel as there's no real attachment to the character at this point. Of course, take my opinion with a grain of salt as this is based only after 16 chapters.

Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap. After their marriage, he knew she was just a pawn. But for the sake of the throne, he had to pretend to cherish her even though he detested her, until...
