Wow let me just say this is actually good story. I love how the MC transitions from a blind and cowardly woman (not really true, the story just frames her like this, when in reality she's always been strong, just led her guard down with ml) to this badass gritty woman with a need for revenge, though she's a bit sadistic. Her ideal revenge is both hurting and making love to the ml. Also, despite the smut tag, the story doesn't generally focus on it with only the beginning and the latest chapters having any sense of it, (romantic tension is crazy though) but rather on the whole has a focus on the thriller and action section of the novel, documenting her rise from a cold hearted cleaner, to a brave agent. She also isn't overpowered, as even when she has her victories (obviously she is the mc) she still struggles profusely, plus she has to prove herself to her fellow coworkers, who criticise her for the simple act of being a woman. Their shocked expressions when they see her competency, lightened my day up.All in all if you want a strong female lead with an agenda, who has to struggle to make her way through to fulfil her goal (ironically she already has, she just doesn't know about it due to her past blindness) and a psychotic double agent male lead, same man who seems to refuse the fact he genuinely loved her, who comes to realise his past wife's shocking behaviour and her many talents, having to now get rid of his stigmatised view of her as a 'helpless housewife' but rather a 'ruthless, cold and calculating woman who obviously still has a small caring side' well then this is the novel for you.
