She's the Older Sister of the Obsessive Male Lead - By Antammi (7/10)

This has some potential, but I'm suspicious. It is riddled with stereotypical tropes. It's a reincarnation story set in a BL novel about an obsessive man where a side character becomes the main character in her second life. That's a very specific set up but unfortunately dozens of webtoons use it. The translation isn't even ten chapters in and the main trio is still child-age...so I can't judge the plot yet.

Yurenia is the daughter of a Duchess. She became a Holy Saintess when she was too young to handle so much responsibility. She's a good person but she sacrifices too much of herself. She exhausts herself. She literally does too many good things and burns out. She doesn't know it but she's a side character in a BL novel, and the male lead is a crazy monster that cannot be defeated. Yurenia is friends with that male lead's beloved, Frey.

She wants to save Frey, and the madman, because that madman is her brother. Lisandro is an unreasonable maniac, but she is is sister. She tries to reason with him. She tells her brother his beloved Frey is miserable with him. Lisandro starts saying insane shit. He plans to stuff Frey's body and put it on display if he dies.

Lisandro heartlessly, ruthlessly kills the reasonable Saintess. She dies overworked and unappreciated. Frey cries for her, and it's heavily implied that he turns back time to resurrect her. Lisandro doesn't feel a hint of regret. He literally only cares about Frey. Everyone else is an ant to him. That is the way he is. Lisandro is an incredibly toxic person who wants to lavish love onto a single person in exchange for their equal devotion. Unfortunately, normal people don't love like that.

Yurenia wakes up in a younger body...and sigh...her soul is now a Korean teenager that knows this is a doomed BL novel. So, what does she do? Kill Lisandro? He's already showing signs of insanity, but he is a weak child. She could poison him with ease, but she does not. Instead, she spanks him. She scolds him and acts like a reasonable mother figure. The Duchess is always busy. She wasn't around much when Lisandro went nuts the first time. Yurenia wants to be a good influence for him, and she doesn't want to be a saintess.

She wants to enjoy an easy life as a Lady.

Lisandro is a toxic brat. He is %100 a yandere but he's not the love interest. His brand of obsession isn't sexual. He wants to own his favorite person completely. He treats Yurenia like a toy even though he claims to care for her. His childhood made him the monster he is. He's the heir of one of the greatest families in the country. He's smart and he's got legendary sword skill potential. All of the adults and children in his life are submissive to him.

Except Yurenia and Frey.

Lisandro doesn't fall in love with Frey this time. The two men are childhood friends. I'm the original plot Yurenia wasn't around much, because she was a busy Saintess. Now he sees her daily, and he likes her. She's kind to him and she doesn't kiss his ass. He becomes obsessed with her instead, because Frey doesn't like him. Frey still has his past memories. He knows Lisandro is a snake, so he never opens his heart to the other man.

Frey is competition now. He clearly wants to marry Yurenia. He's not afraid to stand up to Lisandro, because he has nothing to lose. He owes his life to Yurenia, who was always kind to him. He learns fire magic to protect himself and her. Yurenia's sacrifice changed his perspective on life. He's willing to take risks and fight for what he wants in this life. He's not a passive pretty boy anymore thanks to her. I don't know why the author made Yurenia a random high school student. Frey loves Yurenia, not the Korean role player in her body. This story would be alot less weird if the reincarnated Yurenia was just...her.

Frey is ill. The Saintess is supposed to save him, but she's not willing to sacrifice herself. Yurenia doesn't want to leave and spend her days in a busy temple. She can't leave her insane brother unattended either, but she does want to help Frey. Frey doesn't ask her to save him. He's willing to suffer to keep her safe. He might be a yandere as well...for Yurenia...not the high schooler in her body...but I doubt that the author will ever bring that up.

Yurenia asks her mother for help. She hides her Saint brand under her gloves. No one knows about her destiny except her mother and an aide for a long time. The Duchess decides to swing her weight around to keep Yurenia out of the temple. The Duchess isn't a fool. Yurenia works with her mother, and they donate money to the poor quietly. The priests at the temple agree to keep her identity a secret. They know that people would endlessly hunt the girl down to get blessings. She would never get a moment of privacy, because the Saint seat has been empty for 80 years. The temple has been running fine without one, and the rise of a new Saintess would cause chaos. They nervously agree to lie and say the Saintess has not appeared, because the Duchess is a strong ally that they want.

I hope Lisandro is still the villain. That would make this interesting. He has a good relationship with his sister in this life, but she doesn't want to be his favorite toy. They are going to fight at some point. Yurenia has a holy bow and Lisandro eventually becomes a blade master. I assume that Yurenia and Frey are going to team up...and force her brother to give her some personal space.
