The noble Williams family has Alicia Williams as their eldest daughter. Intrestingly, their lineage is known to be excellent in dark magic. While her midnight black hair and gleaming eyes are certainly imposing, her most distinct attributes are undoubtedly her sharp tongue and baleful nature. After all, she is a villainess in an otome game.

Everything about Alicia attracts a young woman from the real world who is so taken up by her that she wishes to be her. Fortunately or unfortunately, a series of bizarre events leads to her wish being granted, and the young woman loses her life. But she gets reincarnated as a 7-year-old Alicia in the same game.

Equipped with knowledge of the game, the new "Alicia" is confident that she'll make her mark as the greatest villainess in history. However, it doesn't take her much time to realize that escaping Alicia's fate isn't as straightforward as it might seem.
