Hinata witnesses her stepmother’s affair and is pushed down a staircase. At the moment she thinks she has died, she suddenly finds herself reincarnated into the world of her favorite novel, “The Path to the Tyrant.” Worse yet, she has taken possession of the body of a villainous noblewoman who is destined to be killed by her favorite character, Yurieru. “Ah, so this is the typical bad-ending avoidance setup,” Hinata thinks. However, there is one problem—Yurieru has already realized that she is a reincarnated person! While Hinata continues to act the part of the villainess, unaware that she has been exposed, Yurieru pretends not to know anything. Though the two are drawn to each other, they both keep hiding their feelings. How long will it take for these two, unable to be honest with each other, to finally face their true feelings?
