This story is good, but the slow pacing makes me hesitant to continue reading it despite the fact that the MTL is surprisingly readable (at least 85-90% readable). I guess, it's just too good to be read in MTL XD. The author's writing style is best enjoyed when the language is more natural. Ahhhhh but anyway, I've decided to drop it temporarily and come back for it later.Summary: The FL is a reborn person (more specifically, after dying, she found herself possessing the body of a young girl from another family). In her previous life, she had been raised as a boy to substitute for her sickly cousin. Growing up, her temperament had always been that of a boy's, and thanks to her effort, she managed to not only enlist in the army but also make many meritorious deeds. Unfortunately for her, just when her career was on the rise, her male cousin came back, taking over the identity she had been living as for 18 years and forcing her to forget everything that she had accomplished. Not only that, but they also married her off and conspired to kill her to keep her mouth quiet. Now that she's been given a second chance, all she wants is to take revenge and finally get to live her own life.The story is quite long-winded. Definitely not the same as your "fast-food"-like romance novels of the same genre. It's not all about drama and romance (in fact, it's the exact opposite, those things are only secondary). It's better described as a growing up story. We get to watch the FL as she strives to make a name for herself in this second life. All the while encountering familiar people from her past life. For example, the ML (who she had known previously, and was her "rival" General --- they were not close, but they had some pretty meaningful encounters.I won't be rating this novel because I've yet to finish or get to the halfway point DX. But, right now, I'm thinking it's worth 4-4.5 stars out of 5.
