Conflicted

Pretty sure they were both brainwashed which is why they acted that way

Not even past life. She just read some stories. She never lived half of the sorrows of the OG!MC. I am impressed that even though the possessor missed out the brainwashing part... This series has few loopholes.

I also think that way, it didn’t even happen, did it? It was just in the novel, but no one actually experienced it

Yup, that transmigrator is too immersed in her character. It does not even make sense. Immersed to the point of forgetting that she ain't actually part of this world to begin with and that she possesses greater knowledge of the events surrounding her... I am confused when she is dumbfounded before events she should already know the cause/consequences/culprit... but decides... out of... naivety to undertake the less desirable course of actions because "the show must go on".

I think it may be more of a fact that in the novel Azela was the main character, so probably the brainwashing etc. wasn’t actually proved. So she doesn’t know. You know, one of those plots where protagonist is actually a villain and vice versa. But I totally agree with her being too immersed in her character, like that’s just a plot and possible future, it didn’t actually happen

OK OK I was thinking about this too but wasn't she actually reincarnated into this life? That means even if she has her past memories she's still also a small child? That's the only way that her acting like a baby all the time makes sense to me. Like getting scared of the camera flash and bawling up into a circle as if she's not from the modern erra? It's giving all I have is vague memories of the past. Also I do remember her being so attached to the character because she related to her. Maybe she's acting so dramatically in solidarity lol idk it's a lot
