I only made it to chapter 7, so undoubtedly there is a lot more of this story to go for character growth and plot development etc. It’s not my vibe though, and I will explain my thoughts. Firstly, I have no respect or liking for either MC. The FL has been a doormat for 3 years because of her mom being on the brink of death. That means, in her forced marriage (ML raped her in a drug induced haze that she gets blamed for so they marry ofc..) she puts up with abuse from her MIL, sister in law, the servants, her father, step mom, other sister in law, and neglect and indifference from her husband. Her husband is fine with ignoring her if she gets dragged to the basement and beaten to unconsciousness by 5 servants at their home. He only starts to show interest in her when she starts to speak back to her MIL (after her mom dies) and hit/hurt 2 of the servants beating her to a pulp. Oh, now she is interesting to him 🤔🙄 So here we have why I can’t handle this. 3 years of abuse and hatred squarely dumped on FL. And now, back talking and fighting back makes the FL worthy of the mega rich and powerful husbands interest. Now, after her latest beat up, he will take her to bed (fort the first time carrying her out) and force 2 paracetamol down her unconscious throat when she starts running a fever. Wow! My hero! 🤥 Better still, next morning she stretches and bounces out of bed, ready to go out and face her day. Not one ache. Not one comment when she goes to hubbys business about her bruises or the gash to her head from the vase thrown at her the day before. Way to gloss over domestic violence. And the ML who has ignored all her torment and even contributed verbally… she is the one this FL will end up with! And she will never be able to win against him, his ego won’t tolerate that apparently. I just can’t.. 😅 Still, writing was good and story seems proofread. I just can’t stomach romanticising or minimising DV and what it does to you. If you want to hang around for her revenge, well I hope she makes it epic and makes them suffer!

I couldn't have written it any better. I stopped on the same chapter for exactly these reasons

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!
