Nope if you're looking for a big explanation I made this post https://www.mangago.me/thing/about/968322/ but long story short she doesn't want to be empress and just wants to be safe but is manipulated by everyone around her because they're classist prices of shits that hate the fact she is a former slave getting the least bit of power

Just started reading this since this was recommended by a friend but I'm kinda uncomfortable that the main antagonist is an illiterate runaway slave and the mc is an empress (story kinda classist). Is the villainess cunning and really smart (white lotus bitch typa girl) and is acting innocent to get the throne? If not, I might not read this since I kinda feel bad for her now :(
