That's something that doesn't seem clear to me. Did the emperor marry the Mc's mom and the villainess at the same time, had the prince, and then impregnated both women to have his daughters? Or did he marry the villainess after the mc's mother's death? From what I am understanding the heroine's mother came from a poor family, while the villainess is powerful. Yet, her daughter seems older if not the same age as the mc. I also will wonder whats the excuse for ignoring his daughter in the original story/first time line.
Just to add, while I love romance, I'm actually glad that there is little to no romance at the moment. I love just seeing her with her father and brothers.
