## Chapter

### Summary
This chapter solidifies a major plot twist, confirming that the new antagonist, Saintess Emden, is the original author of the story who has been transmigrated ("isekai'd") into her own creation. This subversion of the typical isekai trope is a central point of reader discussion, as they find it refreshing to root for the original female lead, Cecile, against the transmigrated author. The author's motivation is driven by rage and entitlement at having been reincarnated as a side character instead of the protagonist. Her goal is to eliminate Cecile to claim her intended destiny, which includes forming a reverse harem with the male characters she wrote. The conflict is heavily infused with comedy, stemming from the author's hilariously "psycho" personality and her specific list of ideal traits for a man, which bizarrely includes being a virgin and hating grapes. While the author plots her takeover, the relationship between Empress Cecile and Emperor Estian deepens, with readers celebrating the revelation that Estian was a virgin before being with Cecile—ironically fulfilling one of the author's key criteria, but with the woman she is trying to replace. Despite her current villainous role, spoilers circulating in the comments suggest the author will eventually abandon her plans, befriend Cecile, and find her own romance with the knight, Kane.
