The noble Williams family boasts a bloodline adept in the art of dark magic, and their eldest daughter, Alicia, embodies their legacy. With jet-black hair and striking golden eyes, Alicia's presence commands respect, but her razor-sharp tongue and malevolent disposition set her apart. Though she may be a wicked villainess, there's a catch - she's a fictional character in an otome game. One of Alicia's devoted admirers is an unnamed young woman who longs to embody her idol's essence. Miraculously, a drowsy truck driver makes her wish come true in a twisted turn of fate - she dies and is reborn as seven-year-old Alicia inside the game. With an extensive understanding of the game's workings, the newly-christened "Alicia" is convinced she can become the greatest villainess of all time, as long as she puts in the effort. Little does she know, evading Alicia's destiny is far easier said than done.
