The story follows Oohashi Rei, an ordinary office worker who wakes up in the body of the protagonist of her favorite otome game, “Revolution.” To her delight, the first person to greet her is her favorite character, Claire Francois—the main antagonist of the story. Rei is determined to romance Claire instead of the game’s male leads, but how will her villainous lady love react to this new courtship?
