Original Life

At one point, she took an interest in the yaoi genre and hid her materials in her brother's room. When her mom discovered them, she lied that they were her brother's and he ended up having to move out.

At a later point, she made her brother complete an otome game she was having trouble with, while she went on a trip the beach using the money her parent had given her for a certificate and sent him some pictures of her trip to taunt him. Her brother, however, sent the pictures to their parents before dying to do to a combination of exhaustion (from playing the game for 2 days straight) and falling down the stairs. It was at that point where her life took a turn for the worst.

When the girl goes home after her trip, her parents slapped her for lying to them and taking their money. She went back and played the looked at the otome game, but as the game was already finished, all she could do was look at the cut scenes and CGs to try and piece together the story... At her brother's funeral, she and her family figured out that she, by making her brother play that game, was indirectly responsible for his death and she was quickly kicked out of the house. Having to take a job in "night-time entertainment" to make ends meet, she went on to have several boyfriends, one of which was a gambling addict who left her with a hatred of gambling, and another who would always ask her for money. She eventually got married and had a daughter, but her husband abandoned them and custody of her daughter was given to her parents. She was later killed by her abusive boyfriend.

New Life
She was then reincarnated as Marie Lovan. Despite being a Viscount rank household, the Lovan family was financially struggling and in crushing debt, as a result, Marie grew up with very little money, abusive parents, and uncaring siblings. Realizing that she was in the otome game, Marie made it her mission to take Olivia's place and be recognized as a saint. She would practice her healing magic every chance she could get away from her family, waiting for the day when she could enroll in the academy and meet the prince and his entourage.
