Description
Before being sold as the Crown Prince’s concubine, I proposed a contract marriage to the Duke. “Will your father allow you to marry me?”“Of course not. So there is only one way.” “We have to make an accident.” It will taste better when I break that mol*ster’s head.I could shoot a gun at the alley gangster. Even the prince of the neighboring empire was also knocked out by me. The man snorted. “You’re so arrogant as the captive subject. I never knew that Count Bornes would be a jerk to his dog.” I said with a smile, “Our mansion didn’t have a dog. Because the owner of the mansion is already a dog.” This is the story of Arianne Bornes, who seemed to be a villainess but not a villainess.

My Thoughts on I Don’t Want to Be a Lady
"I Don’t Want to Be a Lady" promised a refreshing take on the fantasy romance genre, and after diving in, I can see why it’s garnered a dedicated following. It's a story that centers around Arianne, a female lead determined to carve her own path in a society stacked against women. While it has its flaws, the novel offers a compelling narrative with a strong protagonist.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the premise. Arianne isn't your typical damsel; she's a "born baddie," as one reader put it, and I appreciated that she wasn't a reincarnation or transmigration case relying on borrowed knowledge. Her ambition and drive to become independent, especially in a world where women are essentially property, immediately grabbed my attention. The early chapters set up an intriguing world with a sharp-witted protagonist ready to challenge the status quo.
What Works Well
Arianne is, without a doubt, the strongest aspect of this novel. Her personality is consistent, and I enjoyed her resourcefulness and determination. The dynamic between her and the male lead, Charter, is also a highlight. Their contract marriage, born out of mutual benefit, evolves into something more as Charter finds himself drawn to Arianne's unconventional nature. I appreciated that their relationship wasn't built on misunderstandings and that they communicated openly. It's also worth noting that many readers enjoyed the side characters and found them to be complex and human.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its shortcomings. Several readers pointed out that the plot execution felt forced in the latter half, almost as if the story was solely designed to showcase Arianne's "Mary Sue-ness." I can see where they're coming from. Some plot points felt rushed, and the romance, while enjoyable, could have been developed more organically. There were also some criticisms about the villains being underdeveloped, lacking clear motivations for their actions. Personally, I found the writing style to be a bit simplistic at times.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "I Don’t Want to Be a Lady" is an enjoyable read, particularly if you're looking for a strong female lead who challenges societal norms. While the plot and writing might not be perfect, Arianne's character and her relationship with Charter make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it with the caveat that the story's execution might not fully live up to its initial potential. I give it a solid 3.75 out of 5 stars.
