Wow, this is definitely something new. I'm actually surprised at how much I like it. Usually I'm one for fluffy romances, instant love, no ML FL drama...etc. This isn't any of that yet I can't stop getting intrigued. Here's the thing, this novel doesn't go down the typical reborn routes (1. op op FL instant kills all enemies, 2. FL meets ML and they fall in love and he helps her out). No, we asked for new and they GAVE us new. FL tricks ML and they start a sugar daddy/baby relationship, no strings or feelings attached. Novels usually portray mistresses as totally scheming and greedy. But FL is so shameless about her love for money, it's quite refreshing. She sees ML as a walking bank and doesn't dare catch feelings. Self awareness, A+. PLUS FL's here trying to earn money to live her best life and get away from all the trash in her family. Yeah she sleeps with ML for money, but her character is built so well, you can't look down on her bc life isn't immediately easy after being reborn. ML can act like a total tsundere, but after 39 ch he's barely figuring out his feelings. None of the "I fell in love with you at first sight" or "how dare you sleep with me, now you're mine!!" He's a professional sugar daddy I guess? He's actually annoyed at the concept of FL being a shameless mistress, but still dutifully sends her money and gifts. TLDR: Such a refreshing lead, well written dynamic between FL and ML. FL is such a well built character, not like other novels where reborn FLs can instantly take down the world and become actual royalty. No instant romance BUT it's not terribly heartwrenching and angst. I can't read those. NOTE: there's implied rough sex but no rape. no smut scenes either.

Do they have a big age gap and is she really a mistress? It's just a personal preference but i don't like reading those. 😅
As far as I remember, they seem to be around the same age. And technically no, because he just has a fiancee. But he makes it very clear that she's just a fiancee in name & he'll still have lovers.

Nice review. It’s years old, I know, but I really kinda had no interest in this novel until I read your review. Dunno why, but (for me, today) you resonate really strongly. Thank you!
