Description
One day, memories of her past life returned. Rather than facing the fate of becoming a criminal out of jealousy toward the second male lead, who was her rival, she was devastated by the fact that, due to the set parameters, she could never beat him. On that note, she left the academy, vowing never to get involved with him again… ‘Not getting involved, my foot.’ Not only did they end up working at the same company, but she also became his subordinate! As if that wasn’t unfair enough. Now, there’s even a dating scandal with him? To dispel the rumors, she started going on matchmaking meetings… “This man is said to have a history of being a womanizer.” Looking at the background investigation report he handed her, she was speechless. This wasn’t the first or second time. He had already investigated every single one of her matchmaking partners. So why are you the one investigating this for me? “Stop pretending to be kind.” “Was I pretending?” “Even your voice is different now!” And! She quickly pointed at her hand, which he was holding. “This! Don’t do things like this.” “If this counts as being kind, then I suppose I am being kind.” Eched said this as he subtly rubbed the hand he was holding. “Shaterian. You might as well get used to this side of me. I’ll often, maybe even every time, act kindly toward you.”

My Thoughts on When a Scandal Breaks Out With a Rival
First Impressions
"When a Scandal Breaks Out With a Rival" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and the promise of comedy, drama, and romance all rolled into one fantasy package. A strong female lead who's also a bit of a tomboy? Reincarnation? Love rivals? Contracts? Sign me up! The shoujo tag sealed the deal for me; I was ready for some delightful drama and swoon-worthy moments.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the main characters seems to be a major highlight. The male lead's... unconventional approach to winning over the female lead is definitely entertaining. The excerpt I read gave me a great sense of their banter and the underlying tension. I love that the female lead isn't a pushover; she stands her ground and isn't easily swayed, even by a handsome, possibly non-human suitor. The plot seems to offer a blend of lightheartedness and potentially deeper themes, which is something I always appreciate in a story. The fact that the female lead is strong from the start is also a big plus in my book. I'm not a fan of stories where the protagonist needs to spend forever leveling up before they can hold their own.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is exciting, I do wonder how well the story balances its various elements. Juggling comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance can be tricky, and I hope the author manages to create a cohesive and satisfying narrative. I also hope the "scandal" aspect is explored in a meaningful way and not just used as a plot device.

While there are some potential pitfalls, the story's strengths seem to outweigh its weaknesses. I'm eager to dive in and see how the scandal unfolds and whether the female lead ultimately succumbs to the male lead's... unique charms. I'd recommend giving this one a try if you're looking for a lighthearted yet potentially thought-provoking fantasy romance.
