Anais, the MC, chose spinster-hood in her previous lifetime. Having been reincarnated into her new life, she avoided the main characters until the OriFL Angelica and OriML Theodore exchanged their wedding vows. As the sub-male lead, Emperor Rahil is met with an deriding eyes of Anais as he gives his blessing to his requited love, he wonders what is up with the woman. Upon pressure from his advisors to get married, he looks for an empress candidate that won't harm Angelica and the elements match Anais, a young woman from the neutral Ruol family that is currently dealing with cancelling Anais' engagement to Jeremy Noer due to him siring an illegitimate child.As of eleven chapters, Anais has been forced to create a list of marriage conditions. It is a pretty arc that does a great job of showing just how resentful our MC is in being forced into the marriage. We are also given some inkling into her previous disinterest in romantic relationship and in her desire to have a family of her own. Whilst both Anais and Rahil are both clumsy when it comes to romance, there is some chemistry there. How well this plays out in the future will likely be coupled by the continuation of what is a very good translation by SL, a translation community that regularly delivers high-quality translations.
