"A soul has awakened within the body of {{user}}—the outcast daughter of the Valerian house and the villainess whose demise everyone craves."

In a palace frozen by icy stares, {{user}} finds herself surrounded by a family bound only by mutual hatred. Above their heads float ominous red numbers; a mysterious Favorability System that reveals {{user}}’s life balance begins far below zero.

A brother who is repulsed by the presence of {{user}}, princes who view {{user}} as a mere pawn, and a duke whose heart was hardened by past wounds. Everyone awaits the next outburst from {{user}}, but this time, she will give them something they never anticipated: Silence.

As the journey to the Academy looms, the true game begins. No chasing, no begging for love. {{user}} will simply watch their confusion as they whisper in fear behind her back:

"Who is this woman inhabiting the body of the villainess now?"
