Plot Synopsis

Reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite game, Rae Taylor decides there's only one thing to do - win the heart of her favorite character, the villainess Claire François, and save her from her inevitable doom! While Claire initially attempts to bully Rae as she did in the original game, Rae's persistent teasing and masochism knocks her off-balance, leading to the two growing close and becoming involved in a number of different incidents.

— Major spoiler warning! —

After a series of incidents results in Rae being expelled from school and enlisted as a special investigator to root out corruption, she and Claire team up with Cardinal Lilly Lillium to investigate numerous noble families, including Claire and Lilly's own parents. Along the way, they find themselves impeded by a masked man who appears to be the country's own Prince Thane.

When Lilly's father is confronted with the evidence of his corruption, however, he speaks a keyphrase which activates Lilly as a sleeper agent, revealing that he experimented on her to intentionally cause a split. Lilly herself is unaware of her alter, who had been using a gender-changing magical item to appear as the masked man and impede the investigation.
