I mean the MC before reincarnating in the otome world, she did like the older brother character of villainess but after reincarnating into villainess, she gets memories of how bleak their family's past was. The MC's own background is a noble woman with the rank of a duke but for years she and her mother were under house arrest and bullied by her grandmother just because her grandmother hated the background of the MC's mother who was not from an elite aristocrat. Her mother and MC didn't even get to meet her father and her older brother until her mother dead. Her mother only got to see her son once before she died. Practically in this kind of environment MC and her older brother become lonely because of the lack of attention and affection from their parents. Her older brother feels guilty for not being able to help his mother. Practically his younger sister became a means of atonement for sins by giving his attention and affection to atone for his sins.

However, after the MC got his memory before reincarnating, the MC became very concerned about her older brother and even behaved like as a mother The brother and younger sister finally care for each other and fill the empty space in their hearts to find the meaning of life as a family.

the dragon will romance Ekaterina, and she will turn him down because she doesn't want to want to leave her brother all alone with no one else to turn to.

the dragon character ended up intervening somehow (I've already suggested in a review of one chapter that he ought to be realizing that having the Yurinovas prevail would be far greater benefit to his own interests than the Yurimagnas prevailing)

It just ticked me off on how people changed their behavior once ekaterina "saved" them from a monster then learnt abt flora's saint attribute. Well hello? Where have yall been?

And just like any other naive main character, ekaterina was happy with it 🤦‍🤦‍ yea sure.

Modern 30 years old woman. Ok 👌

Then her husband suggested, why not do it by having her character perform a heroic act?

Really, I don't know a more economical and vivid method of changing people's minds about your character. And really, I don't think the setup in this story was a bad one. Face it, harassment is an unpleasant reality in many educational institutions, and it should be obvious that their classmates must have been well aware of the harassment Flora Czerny and Ekaterina Yurinova were receiving from the Yes Trio, but all too typically in these school situations it seems easier for others to stand back and not get involved. As for the prince intervening to keep the Yurimagna heir from also harassing Flora and Ekaterina, maybe there were others who knew and maybe no one did know, but even if others did know, they likely figured, he's the prince and he can do what he wants without consequence, but why should I take the risk of helping a mere baroness and another girl who's only here because she's from a ducal family but doesn't have the upbringing of an aristocrat and is likely too physically and mentally broken to be of use to anybody?

Until Ekaterina and Flora risked their very lives against a terrifying demon to save their classmates (and this time Ekaterina can't trot out her usual I'm-just-a-fraud-in-denigration-of-her-own-self-worth
thoughts this time because she quickly realizes that facing a demon on a smartphone screen was nothing like being face-to-face with an enormous roaring demon in real life, far worse than the golden retrievers which frightened her corporate s*ave side in her former life--yet Ekaterina still stood her ground because she realized the demon would kill many people on campus and nothing would stop it from destroying the empire itself unless someone fought it). No wonder their classmates felt guilty and apologized. And yes, when Ekaterina finally got fed up with the Yes Trio and stood up to them, that is the sort of thing that tends to impress a group and get them to follow you. I remember reading an account of a doctor who was attending a training workshop, and after the facilitator had given a presentation at length, she took a break and asked someone in the audience if she wanted to partake of the tempting donuts and pastries in the back--and she was too nervous to do anything but say no. And the speaker kept going down the line in the audience, and growing pressure of constant "nos" made it even harder to head for the refreshments table--until the doctor answered, yes, I believe I will have some. So he got up--and got engulfed in a stampede of women who kept him from reaching the table for about 15 minutes.

they're sharing the body right now--the villainess and the corporate s*ave who died and became part of the otome game. Then she came to understand why the original villaines was desperate to become crown princess and why her brother was a siscon.

When the Demon Lord/King proposed to Ekatrina, I can't help but laugh as he got rejected because Ekatrina immediately remembers her brother and went "A True BroCon shall not be swayed!

When Ekaterina tell the dragon king to not separate her from her brother because they only have each other, that really hit me, the prologue of this story is quite good.

I don't know if the author based his story with the "Let it go" japanese lyrics, but it's really spot on. There is one part where Ekaterina singing the let it go japanese version, and she explain this lyric have similar circumstances with Ekaterina's life, so I decided to search the japanese lyrics, and damn, it's different with the english version, and really spot on with this story.

(I sneakily deducted 0.2 not because of the story, but to give justice to the two panda eyes I got QAQ)

Nuooo I don't want Bro x Flora--Yes, Flora is a nice girl and bro naturally deserves someone so good, BUT no no no, it's a big no. Pls be a professional and dedicated sis-con QAQ

she and her mother was abandoned and being empress can save them from that situation. Yeah.. Pretty sad. Make you want to root for her villainess route.

Many times, in reincarnated story, the modern world is seen as great place, (social equality, women autonomy, education for all, etc etc. But hey... We all know our world isn't really a Utopia. Despite the great development, we also cause destruction. Human being (in general) is still a creature of greed, and the voice of equality, it true that it doesn't really apply to every single human on earth. So, I was amazed when I read her argument in this story

It just ticked me off on how people changed their behavior once ekaterina "saved" them from a monster then learnt abt flora's saint attribute. Well hello? Where have yall been?
