MC was an office worker at a company where everyone is gay, but they were all over each other all the time so the work was always pushed onto her, she had enough at one point and quit, but they kept asking her to come back, one employee went to her cause he wanted help for sexual harassment by a superior.
So, this is a bit of an older one, not too far back tho, shoujo or josei set in a korean historical environment, not transmigration but isekai.
MC works at a call center and has an impeccable work smile, spends a long time with an unsatisfied, unreasonable customer but remains very polite, turns out this 'customer' is an emperor who in some weird way communicated with her, unclear how, she ends up in that period of the past, where he hires her to be his 'translator' empress aka to do problem management while he curses and threatens to kill everyone, she's there to defuse the situation basically. Comedy aspect was strong.
Not like she was adopted as a substitute or smth, for there to be a need to act as if her place will be taken by the presumed true daughter. It doesn't really make sense to act like that, when her brother isn't the dukes son either?
Because of the original novel’s plot
The real daughter didn't show up in the og timeline tho.
Did she not? My bad, I’ve started reading this years ago so I kinda forgot the initial setup. But wasn’t she a villainess that got kicked out of the family? i’ll need to go check
Just checked, she was despised because of the other soul, and because of the mismatch between her body and soul, people instinctively disliked her, causing the soul that resided in Camilla’s body to die.
After that, it was corrected when Camilla’s soul returned to her body. So there was no villainess involved indeed.
My guess is that because Rania acted like a green tea bish from the start, camilla felt like she was pushed aside by her scheming, but since Rania was the real daughter who ‘suffered’ outside the family, she felt as if she wasn’t in the position to speak against her as she was the adopted daughter and Rania was actively trying to compete against her and ‘take’ her place so it’s no surprising Camilla felt that way. And you know she has always had family issues in her past life and therefore has trust issues.
Thing is, the ones who act as if she will be kicked out and as if her place will be stolen are the other nobles and even her brothers are somewhat worried bout that, the plot point itself is not really making sense, it is not just Camilla having an illogical thought, it is a mistake on the part of the author more than anything, I don't really need an explanation for the plot because I do remember it. I was mostly pointing out how the current drama doesn't really make sense in the context, as this is not a real daughter vs fake daughter plot, as Camilla was not purposefully put into the position of a lost daughter, or any kind of substitute for that matter. It seems more like the author veered off course with this, and didn't really put much thought into inserting it, just added a popular trope for no reason other than the lack of blood relation between the duke and Camilla, when the behavior of others and even Camilla don't really align with any sort of logic.
I agree, that plot explanation for more for me to understand more if I typed it (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
