Everyone is talking about how the mother hasn’t suffered enough to make up for her past actions and they dislike her… idk about that.
In her past life she was blinded by the whole falling into poverty thing, not surprising considering she was born a noble and probably always got anything she wanted thanks to her looks and status. Then, how she got in the royal palace in her past life is not clear, but my guess is that the noble’s faction used her and married her to the emperor, since she was easy to manipulate due to her situation. In all this mess, she never realized the worth of the bond with her daughter until it was too late and the nobles or someone else disposed of them both. I mean she got burned at the stake… I feel like she DID suffer because of her wrongdoings. I saw someone say that now she’s acting all better only because she has become wealthy once again, but I don’t think that’s the case. Seems to me like everything she’s doing now is for the sake of her daughter: the reason she is still trying to make money is because once the contract is over the plan is to retire with her and live comfortably, so that the daughter never has to work again and they can be happy. She realizes that the daughter could be happy with much less than that but she still wants the best for her. It’s pretty clear how now she’s her only priority. Some people didn’t like the thing about stealing her money for a dress, but it makes sense to me, I mean what should she have done? She KNEW the emperor would have accepted her proposal and that her daughter couldn’t understand, should they have just kept living in the slums lmao? She even got her silver coin back cmon y’all are reaching.
I’m absolutely not saying that she’s forgiven for all her actions and everything, but I honestly like her character and appreciate this refreshing take on isekai. I think this is the first controversial character I really like.
Idk maybe spoiler if your not up to chapter ~36?
