   Basic premise: our FL is the illegitimate child of a wealthy noble family known for their business acumen. She is 100% tsundere. Gruff and blunt outside who is excellent at taking care of business, soft and gooey marshmallow inside who’s bad at feelings which few see over her confident and harsh outward expression. She has done a ton of work over the years to carve out a place for herself in the family and in business. She has a legitimate younger brother she gets along with well, but he’s not as good at business and has a messy private life with a wife and newly pregnant mistress. She also has a legitimate younger sister who is a white lotus B with massive inferiority/superiority complexes towards the FL. This sister is never content until she takes the FL’s things, but deep down knows she’s not as good as the FL, despite being the legitimate daughter and that makes her crazy.

   Our FL had a long-term fiance, Michael, whom the sister stole the day of the wedding.

   It’s now three years since the elopement. In that time, our FL has garnered quite the reputation as a femme fatale as she’s dated around but had zero luck. Each man inevitably wound up being a cheater, gambler, rogue, or various form of scumbag. Her sister has come crawling back from parts unknown to make trouble and her dad has gotten sick of her reputation and wants her married in the year or else she risks losing her managerial position.

   Our ML is a powerful, brilliant yandere who seems outwardly charming, but is inwardly ruthless. He has been obsessively devoted to our FL since meeting his friend’s big sister as a child. He wants the FL, badly. He had her once, but something happened and now she completely doubts his sincerity and doesn’t believe he’s capable of loving her for real. He’s willing to play into this and pretend he needs her for business reasons, which is something she can understand, if it means she’ll agree to marry him and be his at last. But he finds himself frustrated by her withholding and tends to poke at her to get a response. One gets the impression he had a hand in all of her other relationships failing and that he’s not going to react well if she continues to doubt his sincerity.

   The good: very sex positive and realistically messy. None of that “they were engaged for a decade and never touched!!” weirdness. She has definitely had sex with people, likes it, and is proactive in trying to find a partner she likes. She is also a competent, kind boss, and smart independent woman. The side characters are similarly real and messy, such as her brother, who cheated on his wife and now has a pregnant mistress. But he’s presented as a complicated person, rather than a straight up villain.
   The yandere/tsundere dynamic works really well and the main couple have a lot of chemistry

   The bad: it’s poorly written, badly paced, and the translation certainly doesn’t help. They’ll suddenly have a new character and you’ll have no idea who TF this person is, but everyone is acting like you read the 90 page dossier on them. It skips over a lot of stuff that seems important and emphasized things that could be skipped, to the point where you’ll wonder if they left chapters or scenes out. I’m wondering if this has a web novel that might be the better way to go since the organization and pacing are a mess.

   I won’t recommend you to waste time on this story. The plot here is a complete mess, the translation is very confusing. It’s as if pieces of the story were cut out, mixed up and poorly glued together. I tried to read it several times and got no positive emotions.
