Synopsis
After being betrayed by her family and exiled as a teenager, Jeanne returns seven years later to claim vengeance, accompanied by her young son, George. Her path crosses with the enigmatic and cold Fourth Master Swan, who unexpectedly proposes marriage despite her status as a single mother. This story leans heavily into the secret baby and revenge tropes common in contemporary CEO romances, reading much like a high-society soap opera. It is ideal for readers who enjoy Josei dramas centered on family betrayal and the brooding billionaire archetype. However, those seeking a realistic depiction of motherhood or a plot devoid of heavy melodrama should skip it. The narrative moves swiftly through the revenge plot, with the precocious dynamic between the son and the calculating male lead serving as the standout quality of the work.

Editorial Review
At 400 chapters, this completed Josei title offers a comprehensive exploration of its revenge and romance arcs, ensuring a satisfying conclusion for those who commit to its length. A significant strength lies in the characterization of the son, George, whose presence prevents the story from becoming a standard two-person romance and adds a refreshing familial dynamic. However, the narrative leans heavily on exhausted tropes, such as the cruel step-family and the brooding, powerful CEO, which makes the plot feel predictable at times. While the mentioned chess game suggests a level of intrigue, the overall execution remains firmly within the boundaries of conventional webnovel melodrama. It is a stable, well-paced read that delivers exactly what the genre promises, though it lacks the innovation needed to truly break new ground in the romance category.
