I can't even call it mediocre because it's worse than most of these types of stories I read, and I Read a lot...
The setting is messy and the heroine have easy mode ( looks, background, magical power). Basically she and her family don't need to get involved in the throne dispute and main plot is gone. While ML is interested in her because deux ex machine - he saw her ... there is just no plot to explore dropping it
Yikes, is it really that boring???
Princess is clearly B... and insine, her own jealous streak makes her a great antagonist in a way. But the heroine is ... like how much evidence you need to know she doesn't wish you well?? She is supposed to be at least a smart person from genious family and is reincarnated.... she is basically bringing a butter knife to sword fight.
While Princess and Emperor don't hide their intentions.
We also have an aristocracy problem with the way the Emperor act there is no way they are not aware that he is offering everyone that have too much power... so they must have minus IQ or Emperor is mater manipulator and actor just didn't portrey him right.
