Eris no Seihai

It is common knowledge that nobles will do anything for power; lying, manipulation, and extortion are the usual tactics. However, one family is exempt from this generalization: House Grail, whose main tenets are truth and integrity. The youngest daughter, Constance Grail, is just as moral as the rest of her family, believing in always doing the right thing and helping those in need.

However, these ideals do not help her when her fiancé cheats on her with another woman. Framed by his lover in the hope of her downfall, Constance has no one to hear her pleas for justice. Everyone turns a blind eye, save for one—the spirit of the infamous Scarlet Castiel—who possesses Constance and turns the tables on her accuser. However, this aid does not come without a price.

Ten years ago, Scarlet was executed for the attempted murder of Princess Cecilia. But this was actually a setup; as blunt and harsh as Scarlet could be, she would never stoop so low as to use poison. She has no idea who orchestrated her incrimination, but Scarlet demands that Constance—as the only one who can see her—help her exact revenge on all those who wronged her!

Hopes crushed, I was dissapointed that they were lacking budget but if they just sticked to the story it would still be great.

Then they started speedrunning the and jumping over important moments, watering down the emotional intensity and attention to detail the story i read was so great at creating.
After watching episode 4 I needed to re-read the Deborah Darkian Investigation committee because of how confused I was after watching the show, and yea they only showed like 1/3 of that skipping most all of Constance's own moments trying to deal with this without relying on Scarlett.
Not to mention all the other parts ... crammed in to that episode and totally glossed over.

In short, my disappointment is immeasurable and my week is ruined...
First for me but READ THE MANGA...shits brilliant

After watching the masterpiece that is Saihito, I have to say that this and another "Villainess" from this season are like a cold shower after such a good work, and they don't have the quality and storyline to really grab my attention. I like Villainess and I've grown quite fond of them thanks to a few good titles, but as is often the case when something becomes a hit, the lower quality ones start to pile up.

Our late FMC made a really bad choice when she asked for help from such a clumsy guy, I would even say a coward. If she had found someone ... more robust and assertive, the story would have had a spark that could have interested or excited me. But as it is, the story didn't really grab me. Our clumsy character is all talk, but in the end, she always, always relies on the spirit instead of thinking for herself, and someone always has to save her. She's always looking over her shoulder to see if he'll say something or make a face. And that's the whole problem. Our deceased FMC could have tamed anyone she wanted, since she can enter anyone she wants for as long as she wants, so why her? The whole thing pretends to be one big detective story about who was behind the death of the deceased FMC, but honestly, it's just playing around to make it "exciting." I was more frustrated by FMC's actions than I was interested in them.
