I remember this now, I hate it again for the 2nd time

Oh gahd, this webtoon is bringing in all my pet peeves and rage baiting me 'till the end, I swear.

I remember reading this back then on webtoon and liking the premise as I'm also guilty of liking 2nd male leads. But then give up halfway because it makes me feel so uncomfortable, then read this again just now (which I regret).

I genuinely don't know what's the purpose of FL for coming into the world of Peony and taking over her body? She's not a damsel in distress, there is nothing for her to do. The least she could do is honor the wish of the body which she did not.

My pet peeves that really irked me the hell and a reference for future readers:

1. There is no grand goal for the FL, she just wants to marry the 2nd ML (she didn't personally know) from a novel. A parasocial relationship, thinking she's the one for him and she knows him best.

2. Not much inviduality for FL, her mood and actions are all in the expense of a guy. A dormant.

3. Didn't respect the wish of the original body and take for granted what the original body's held of importance.

(This is my biggest ick, I hate transmigrators, they don't get to boss around and flaunt the life and body that not rightfully theirs. Especially the OG Peony is always sick all her life, the least she could do is express Peony to people who yearns for her).

4. The ML is just a decoration. Yes, I like black haired ML and the artstyle is really giving. But for what he's worth, he's just being toss around and not really something, he's just a sad boy.

5. The ML is rude and the FL is a dormant. I can't delude myself enough to stomach this.

6. And bonus point, the ML in the novel still has feelings for the OG FL and saves the empress instead of FL. I hate tropes like this (this dog blood chinese novels) I've read a lot, when you save someone else, better believe me you don't deserve them alive and they are as good as dead to you as a matter of fact.

I say, if you could delude yourself enough and put a rose-tinted filter to this webtoon, then you have a romance. I think the redeeming part of this is the comedy which I don't appreciate because I don't think I could take lightly what's with this webtoon. Either way, if you could delude yourself then it might work, it's just a delulu transmigrator, a sad boy 2nd ML, shallows encounters, lovey dovey, the end.

I don't really like when Transmigrators or MC don't have purpose or just have romancing one person only in their head, just get the hella out of here. (Do people genuinely root for lovestruck fools??)
