### Summary
This chapter introduces the second protagonist, Yuri, shifting the narrative focus from Empress Cesia and confirming the story's isekai premise. Reader reception to Yuri is largely positive, with many finding her reincarnation as a skill-focused, magic-less commoner to be a "refreshing" take on the genre. Her relatable internal reaction to her new reality and her business-minded determination were particularly praised. However, the narrative structure itself received mixed feedback. While some found the dual POVs unique, others criticized the multiple time jumps as creating a "confused" plot with two beginnings. A recurring concern among readers was the apparent abandonment of Yuri's mother in her new life, a detail many felt was an unaddressed plot hole. The shift away from the empress also perpetuated the protagonist confusion from the previous chapter, with some readers expressing disappointment that the story wasn't solely about Cesia. A prominent new theme emerging from the comments is the widespread speculation that the story may be a GL (Girls' Love) romance, fueled by the two strong female leads and the protagonist's name, "Yuri."
