Frustrating. First of all, i like ml. Someone said ml reminds them of huang zi tao. Completely agree. A bit simpleton, lots of arrogance, fierce loyalty and unexpectedly innocent and softie. He is also very sincere. And this is why i find this novel annoying. Fl doesnt deserve this sincerity. I get that she is on a survival mode but it is completely unfair to ml. She runs to ml for his luck, sniffing, touching, cooking and buying gifts for him. Then when ml falls for it, she is so clueless and indifferent. I agree with the comment that said author potray fl as some pristine being unintentionally making people fall in love with her while herself being completely unaware. Even if she is someone who has already lived another life who went through crush herself. She should know better as someone with more experience the effect her actions has. But no, she goes and takes what she wants but is oblivious when it comes to taking responsibilty for the consequence her action has. Love starved 17 y.o. Ml ends up opening up thinking that fl is the only one who loves him for him. Turning to the first person to show him love. But she is also just another person using him. And yet, the author makes her sound so nobel and righteous.

The main lead halo is also too strong on her for someone who is trying to go against this same halo from the novel system. Author tried but she is just another regular fl. Stand-offish, Bland, like a stone. She has no emotion regarding ml, her family or her ex-crush, no chemistry. She just cuts her past off. Not even to the youngest bro, who was relatively close to her. Also with ml when ml is blushing, flustered, or even sulking, she is just like oh okay. That's it. Nothing left in her, like a lifeless doll. I would prefer a vengeful villain over her anyday. She is just another mary sue, she becomes school beauty, top at her class, joining competitions, good at cooking, cello, disciple of respected professor, her ex-crush is desparate for her, her family starts regreting, most powerful family's heir is in love with her. I really dont get villainess novels where in second life mc becomes the exact same type of steoreotypical heroine they criticise. The time travel is simply like just changing places of mc and villain.

This is another thing i hate. The og fmc now becomes villain, the evil adopted daughter, jealous of fl. Why cant she just a normal flawed character? Does she have to be evil and plotting against fl? It is so annoying. Then again, the family now turns against this og fmc and starts neglecting her, finding faults with her because they feel guilty for treating fl unfairly and in the end fl is their "true" child. Wtf dont they know what equal is. They are like we were biased against one child before so now we have to be biased against other child. Lets be even more biased about fl now because she is our biological daughter. Author keeps subtlely implying "...but still blood is blood, fl is superior over og fmc because she is biological." Honestly? They dont deserve both of the daughters.

If you want to read good trapped in novel story, read "the villainess wont let the main leads die". Fl, there, is not a heroine, she is not perfect, she is not righteous, selfless or pure. She is not a character in novel but a human with emotions and complicated feelings. She is not better than everyone, people don't worship her and things dont fall in her lap. Not pretentious at all. She does what she needs to do to survive but is not stone cold about what effect her choices has on others. She stays with ml for her safety but is also honest, sincere and genuinely gives him back as much as she takes. This is what makes readers want to read a story. Not a narration of some lifeless doll, but of feelings, struggles, and yet her standing on top of all that. No need to be standing on the top with pure, clean white dress with not one blemish but standing even at the lowest put with pride even if scars, dust and mud is smeared all over is what is admirable.

Tldr: and all 3 is for ml. Don't get why it's rated so high. full of cliche and stale plot. Mary sue fl. Shallow and fl doesnt deserve ml, fl's family doesnt deserve children.
