Nah she's a hypocrite. Chapter 24 and 25 are contradicting themselves. Chapter 24 it says she is forced to live this way bc her mother keeps chanting in her ear how to survive as a beauty with no power, and that she doesn't like the attention she is receiving from the prince and empress. However, in this chapter, lemme just ask u, what was her reaction when receiving an invitation from the prince to a ball...? She had a big smile plaster on her face and ran to her mother joyfully. Then what does she say to eris when eris asked why she didn't reject the invite "I had no choice but to accept from the prince!" did she even try and say she was sick? She didn't even look like she had "no choice" she was happy as hell. No one was around for her to fake her happiness, she was genuinely happy. Please don't fall for it. She is literally not innocent.

i really appreciate the uploaders for their time and effort. the quality was amazing. i am very grateful.
having said that, i cannot believe author-nim really wasted yet another chapter talking about the silver haired b**** like im gonna change my mind. she’s unlikable. she’s conniving. she’s manipulative. i empathize with the black haired girl too much to want anything more to do with the “Female Lead”.
i know im gonna get a lot of downvotes on this but DAMN. im invested in the black haired girl’s journey. not the silver haired girl’s.
