It's the typical "I hate you because you hurt my crush but now I kind of like you because you make me feel some typa way since you're actually not the OG villainess" plot. And what? Anis? Really? Have you no other name ideas that you'd name your MC after a spice? Crazy. Might as well be called star anise. At this point, the OG female lead is just pure foil for the MC. Give the characters some depth man, don't just add random potions to increase intelligence?? Bro wth. Reading books does that for you. Seriously. Not to get me wrong, I love plots like these despite being so overused. It's just been poorly executed imo.
