I would enjoy this series a thousand times more without the forced #girboss moments and heavily exaggerated social drama. What woman in any culture would go to a gathering to provoke a married woman of higher social standing for funsies, and with a blatantly obvious lie no less? Even before Chloe's "transformation," there's no way saying "I had relations with your husband" to someone in public would do anything but reflect poorly on the person saying it. How do these people have friends?
See, the social drama wouldn't be so childishly written if the author didn't need Chloe to easily "win" every single confrontation she has. I guess I can't be too mad at this point, since this series already signed off on our ML killing a woman for almost making the FL commit a faux pas. I'm just here to enjoy the tea talk and watch the art style slowly devolve.
