Who it's for, and whether it holds up.
The premise is right there in the title: a woman who wants out of a bad marriage. Simple enough, and potentially satisfying. What you actually get is several hundred chapters of that divorce still not happening.
The female lead is set up as smart and talented, someone with real potential once she's free of her indifferent husband and his family. That setup works. The problem is the story keeps refusing to pay it off. The male lead is a cardboard cutout with no discernible personality beyond cold neglect, and the book treats every opportunity for confrontation as a chance to introduce another misunderstanding instead. The daughter favoring the other woman because of "perceived freedom" is a genuine character detail, but it's used to extend suffering rather than to push anything forward.
By the point where readers are reporting that the divorce still isn't finalized after hundreds of chapters, while the ML keeps prioritizing someone else, the repetition stops feeling like dramatic tension and starts feeling like stalling. The FL never quite manages to stand up for herself in any meaningful way, which undercuts the entire premise.
A 2-star rating reflects a story that knows what it wants to be but consistently declines to become it. If you want a slow, frustration-forward romance where the payoff is perpetually deferred, this will scratch that itch. For everyone else, the concept is more appealing than the actual reading experience.
