A New Song Song-hee Title Launching Exclusively on Ridi
망가진 모든 것의 사정 is listed on Ridi as an exclusive work available only on that platform ("리디에만 있는 독점 작품!"). On Ridi's romance web novel page, the title is promoted with the banner "송송희 신작 론칭! 망가진 모든 것의 사정" together with the promotional tagline "너는 뭐 먹고 커서 안 예쁜 데가 없냐." ("What did you eat to grow up without a single unpretty spot?").
As a 19+ title ("19세 미만 구독 불가" — no subscription for readers under 19), the synopsis and full content are accessible only after adult age verification, in line with platform policy and youth protection law.
A Prosecutor × Lawyer Relationship That Begins With Revenge
According to reader reviews on the official page, the story begins with Hyo-seok (lawyer, FL) approaching Mu-taek (prosecutor, ML) from the very start with the intention of using him for revenge. Hyo-seok is a character accustomed to using people, while Mu-taek initially disapproves of her and keeps drawing lines.
As time passes, however, the rough-mouthed Mu-taek proves to be a genuinely devoted man, and at some point begins pursuing Hyo-seok openly and head-on. Meanwhile, in front of Mu-taek, the hidden sides of the scheming Hyo-seok gradually begin to surface.
The Cover Features a Man With a Yellow Flower Behind His Ear
The official cover illustration shows a young man with slicked-back brown hair and a small yellow flower tucked behind his ear. He wears a white shirt and black tie, his finger touching his lips, while his wrist is held by another person's hand.
The composition creates a romantic yet tense atmosphere: the flower adds a soft, tender touch, while the grip on the wrist hints at an intense, possessive, or emotionally charged relationship — consistent with the 19+ romance and revenge themes.
A Balanced Push-and-Pull Without Frustration
Reader reviews emphasize that both leads have strong personalities and clash on equal footing, so neither side feels dragged along one-sidedly. Their harsh exchanges and mutual pushing create entertaining "tiki-taka," while the emotional line between the two runs deeper than expected.
The tone is described as heavier and more desperate than the author's previous work due to the revenge theme, yet the couple's romance remains the main draw. The prosecutor × lawyer pairing and the rom-com flavor coming from the male lead's rough mouth are also praised.
Why This Matters
1) A strong revenge + scheming heroine premise
A heroine who approaches the male lead to use him creates a dangerous, curiosity-driven dynamic from the very beginning.
2) A rough-mouthed but devoted, straight-line male lead
Mu-taek is a prosecutor who speaks roughly yet is a pure-hearted man who pursues the heroine openly — a unique combination that adds rom-com energy to a revenge story.
3) A balanced push-and-pull relationship
Both characters are equally strong and collide head-on, keeping the story fresh and free of frustrating one-sided dynamics.
4) An exclusive Ridi title with a high reader rating
A 4.9 reader rating and "Ridi-exclusive" status make this novel one of the most notable new releases in the romance web novel category.
