I gave it a shot, but I'm not a fan of this one.

I found the villains TOO annoying (uncle, cousin, asshole ML), and at first I couldn't figure out why---after all, villains are supposed to be un-likeable, duh. But they're just TOO stupid.

The ML is contradictory (sees her for the first time in many years, "Oh, I can't stand this girl"-->goes out of his way see her again). So is the uncle (supposedly he proposed to the aunt and loves her-->acts like a total dick to the aunt).

Also, every villain hates the FL pretty much immediately, and their reasons are either completely unexplained or paper-thin at best. A good villain still has some sense of reason about them, however flawed; but this is just dumb. If they had fleshed out those characters a bit more, I think it could've been a better read.
