I've read many revenge stories but this one keeps on dragging. In the back of my mind I try to understand her goal of taking her ex and step-mother down while they are at their peak but frankly, gathering objective evidence of their infidelity and exposing it immediately would have the same outcome as waiting. Because if you think about it, once the father finds out about his wife's cheating, she loses everything.
Additionally, the FL returned at the point where the ex had already been promoted in the company and everyone thought that he was gonna be the boss' son-in-law. So what if he had already invested in the FL's company. That could have been resolved without this strange tangling herself in front of him while dating another dude openly. It almost gives off the same vibes as her scum step-mother and ex. Let's be real, the FL is just 'cheating' openly and labeling it as revenge.(Yeah, yeah, I know she doesn't have any real feelings now but we all know that it's gonna head there sooner or later.)
Reading multiple chapters of them going in circles around each other and smirking, thinking they are one-up-ing the other is kinda ridiculous and is getting stale...
I’ve also read many revenge stories and this is normal, I don’t see it dragging anywhere. If they do as you said and just get evidence and expose them, the revenge is over quick and boring. The point is that she wants the ultimate satisfaction of seeing them think they’re at the height of happiness only for them to crash to rock bottom. She wants to visibly see them suffer as much as she did. If she exposed them right away with only evidence of the cheating, they won’t actually feel that bad. They’ll be shocked and lose the money but that’s it. They won’t be miserable.
Good revenge stories are the types where the main character will do anything and plot the longest for the most satisfying outcome. Don’t forget it’s not just a case of cheating and stealing money, they also were fucking while she’s dying on the hospital bed and the cheater did the job of actually killing her with his own hands.

I genuinely think it’s like those chinese dramas so I don’t have much fondness or hatred to it… It is like a junk food to me
