My first impression on this story is just a reincarnated girl who's trying to survive and avoid death flags using her memories from her past lives. Although it's definitely true, that one is just a small part of the whole story. The whole story revolves on the relationship and lives of the main characters. That seems boring to look at a whole but it's actually interesting, since the main characters are always on the scheming side.

I didn't notice first that the story has a shoujo-fantasy setting. Like those villainess story where it revolves on academy. It's not tagged as one though, and that might be because it's not focused on romance nor the whole story just revolves around the academy.

The demons and devils here are just labels and not really an actual race. The Beriard family who are called demons are just genius humans devoid of empathy except for their family. Each of them also have their own obsession. The MC, Sheriel was adopted to such kind of family and she too will be treated as a real family for them. Despite not wanting too, Sheriel will catch the different values of her family and you'll be able to see that she is really one of the Beriard family.

Sheriel, Didier (her brother), and Julius (her teacher) form a trio that can move the whole country. Everything that happens in the story revolves around the three. Especially Julius who is full of mysteries. Those mysteries will be revealed one by one, but they seem unending until the last arc. Whenever the trio moves, it affected a lot of people, and it's interesting how much their action changes lots of things.

The development are really something to look forward here, especially the big moments that will come. Another kind of development to look forward for is the character development of some side characters. I love it, although not all might agree, but it's superb to see how the main characters influenced others to change.

This novel includes a lot of things like business, beauty, politics, magic, academy battle, brainwashing and manipulation. I don't think I was able to say all I wanted, but I can only tell to you that this is a novel worth spending time to read. I love reading each chapters, the schemes of the trio and the effect of their actions.

Spoiler

It's not until the last arc that I understand the meaning of the title. The beginning chapters of that last arc is dark and depressing that it's hard to read.
