Firstly i thought of her as un average looking girl but gradually i quite start liking her.She's honestly better than other Villainess female leads.

Wow this is really good and kudos to the scanlation team for bringing such high quality translation to the readers. Looking forward to see where this story would go.

The best of the genre along with "The Villainess Turns the Hourglass".
What makes this story shine is without a doubt the FL, there are so many stories about a villainess out there but almost all fail completely in portraying either an interesting character or someone that actually has some qualities of a villain. The MC he possesses both and is done masterfully. She's mature, calculative, manipulative, disregards even he own well being if it means carrying her intentions through, she feels like a deeply intelligent person and actually uses her knowledge of her previous life extensively.
The ML on the other hand is kind of bland, it's the kind of perfection that admits no blemish and casts no shadow, thus the FL takes upon herself to be that shadow without him even knowing of it.
As for the story, it's a bit soon to tell, but it's the classic court intrigue plus a time rewind plot tool. It's nothing original but it's done right, it's the kind of story that one intents to find when reading countless stories with the exact same setting. Most of them are just fodder but a few are worth it and this one is among them imo.

Edit: started to get less interesting and cohesive on the second season with, among other things, the appearance of a second regressor and it isn't as interesting anymore... haven't touched S3 so maybe it got better again? Will try it eventually I guess... probably?

I have a weakness for the villainess trope but in most of the manhwas I have read, the villains do not actually act like villains. This manwha is one of the exception and I love it for it. The FL is extremely intelligent and cunning, enough said. I have seen people said the ML is all hearts and no brains, and I think that's fine. Not to say he is dumb but he is certainly too naive, and that acts as a contrast and balance to the FL, as well as serving the purpose of the story. The side characters too are convincing, especially the FL's mother who is shown as abusive and seems to be bipolar (like me). There is not much about Lawrence yet but I expect that he will replace the mother as a bigger and better antagonist. The author did a great job at storytelling and fleshing out characters.

Story is a little odd at the beginning and very dramatic but comes so much better so fast.

This is one of the web comics with the least superficial characters I've read, there's really a lot of depth to them.

Fully recommended

The female lead (the blonde villainess) is a strategic genius! She's probably got the tea on every noble in the empire, and she knows how to get them to show their own ugliness in public! I'm loving the plot so far--it really weaves really well, and it's even cooler since the plot is essentially driven by the former villainess' subtle scheming. I LOVE THIS.

Can't wait to see more updates.

Yes, this is scheme and conspiracy done right. The first contracting marriage plot line that has a reasonable political reason!!! This making other contracting marriage look like a joke. LoL. The picture is beautiful too. Perfect!!!

I give 10/10 because author can make me believe MC is smart and good at scheme without my disbelieve like other novel or manga/manhwa. And the pacing is so good, it make me exciting and wondering how the plot will unfold.
