In THIS manga, the main character IS the wicked family member! WHAAAAT? Except, no. The abused heroine is forced to pretend to be the cruel family member so her abusive sister can play the victim role to win suitors. The "wicked woman" drops her act in chapter 1 and it never gets explored again except as a cruel thing her family did to her.
So, you could say they subverted the trope. Or you could say it's the exact same trope with 1 extra step.
But honestly? The story and characters have more depth than usual in these cheap romances. Supporting characters have their own arcs and there's a whole little murder mystery. The bar is low on this website, but this is one of the good ones. Love went into making this and it's an enjoyable little read.
