Surprisingly inspiring

Story of a girl who stood up alone and slapped hierarchy and patriarchy right across the face (metaphorically… but I wish literally).

Le Yao is a village girl who gets humiliated, betrayed, and ultimately killed by her “best friend”/maid and crooked in-laws. She’s reborn a month before her death (yup, traitor bestie respawns too cause the universe said let’s run it back). With a second chance in hand, she is willing to level up with strategies not tears.

There are tons of rebirth-revenge plots out there, but I only appreciate the ones where the FL actually uses her brain. I don’t want those stories where the lead voluntarily walks into 30 slaps, 12 torture sessions, 5 public humiliations, and sacrifices entire army “for the sake of revenge.” ..Huh! So inefficient..Boring!

This FL?? She is smart.. top tier strategist ..she got punished only one time (hurt her fingers) and lost a lady member of her team but at the expense of this her comeback was an absolute blockbuster. Her schemes planning and her unwavering focus on her goal .... Simple wow ... I loved how the ML started taking dictation from her from a very early stage totally succumbing to her intelligence and wisdom ... And this is the reason why she wasn't just loved but respected and worshiped by this sigma man. Nice chemistry.

Reading the reviews here I was a bit sceptical but This drama got almost 900 thousand views in a single month on you tube( compilation video) ... I guess figure speak louder than words but even the comments are positive.

The ending was a bit anticlimactic, I won’t lie but it’s fine. I wasn’t planning on giving it a full 10/10 anyway.
