A player who logged far too many hours into an otome game wakes up inside it as Penelope Eckhart, the adopted daughter of the Eckhart duchy and the villainess the story is written for everyone to despise. Worse, she has landed in hard mode, where every route she can see ends with Penelope dead at the hands of her brothers, the crown prince, or something even less dignified. The only exit she can find is to raise the affection of the men who are currently her executioners.
