I wanted to stop reading at Chapter 30 because the FL is so unrealistically naive, but that would be an unfair review so I paid coins and read to the end of Chapter 60. FL's sister runs off to avoid marrying ML. FL's boyfriend dumps her for a rich girl, not knowing that FL is even richer but doesn't flaunt it. FL gets drunk and wakes up naked in the bed of her sister's discarded fiancé, while discarded fiancé sits on a sofa across the room fully dressed. No forced tsundere nonsense, which turns out to be the only redeeming factor so far. ML is okay, not violent, r-apey, and generally too good for this airhead who won't acknowledge him as her husband. She's especially afraid to tell her parents she married the as ML as he was originally engaged to FL's apparently rude and selfish older sister who ran away to avoid marrying the ML. Sixty chapters in and the FL still has no idea how or why they married. Instead of telling her parents that her loser boyfriend dumped her and that she married her sister's discarded fiance, the FL lets events speed tothe messiest revelation imaginable. FL is clueless. Not just clueless, but a stupidly, badly developed, irrational, logic-free FL. She literally reads as if she has the mind of a 9 year old in dealing with her parents and not understanding what the thing in ML's pants might be. He's loaded, but she sleeps at home and calls him brother-in-law in front of her parents. This FL is utterly tiresome. If you are really young or naive (or just quarantine bored) you might find the FL cute, but I can't imagine paying more to read about this idiot who is also supposed to be a genius hacker. I think we get 3 chapters of that plot device before it evaporates. Where's her sister? Is her mother actuslly her mom? Her best friend is BL crazy, but the FL knows not what is in het husband's pants? The mother-in-law is petty and seems to have a birth secret. There's a bombshell in a tight red dress who the FL spots with the ML who isn't mentioned after the next chapter. There's more loose ends in these 60 chapters than you can believe. I tried to stick it out when the comment section was full of people dropping the book. I can't support this book. This author has written a particularly poorly educated FL with zero common sense or life skills. The FL is mentally exhausting, as are the needless draggy hidden marriage plot devices. This book is a decent male lead in search of an author, a storyline, a FL, and pacing. It's also in need of a proofreader because 7/8ths of a chapter is in Mandarin. There's a spoiler forum on Novel Updates but it's empty. You can't search the Mandarin title because it's a screen grab, not cut and paste. The author's name and thr book title don't pop up together in searches. If you read ahead and it stops being moronic, please drop me a line. Otherwise, in a pandemic, during quarantine, and with my office closed I have nothing BUT free time, but I have zero time for a plot as silly as this. I am so bummed. This is such a waste of a kind, non-rapey ML...

I haven't read it but I feel your frustration already. It is so rare to find a good ML but it seems that we can't have both a good ML and a good FL in the same book.
