After being pushed to her death by a mysterious figure, Hanasaki Rinko reincarnates in the world of a novel as Raeliana McMillan, a side character destined to be poisoned by her fiancé.

Raeliana moves to the Wynknight mansion so she and Noah can be officially engaged. She used her knowledge of Noah's possession of the royal seal to convince him to make the deal with her, but Noah seems unfazed, making her wonder if he'll really accept.

Noah and Raeliana attend a ball. Raeliana attempts to get closer to the wife of Marquess Eriteal at Noah's request, hoping to make him owe her a favor, but then another character from the novel appears: the antagonist Vivian.

Raeliana wakes up in Noah's room, with Noah lying half-naked beside her. Panicked, she seeks Adam's help in fleeing the mansion. Noah sends out all his knights to find her, but Raeliana uses a maid disguise to avoid discovery.

Noah and his retinue return from their hunt with a very surprising quarry in tow. Preparations for the lighting of the sacred flame begin, but His Holiness is distracted by other matters. Raeliana's letter to Beatrice finally gets a response.

During a break in her purification period, Raeliana encounters His Holiness Heika, and their first meeting quickly devolves into an argument. But this only makes Heika more curious about the girl who spoke so impudently to him...

Raeliana continues to wonder what's become of Beatrice. When Raeliana visits a place Beatrice visited in the novel's plot, she meets someone completely unexpected instead, and learns that the status of the royal seal has changed.
