At the heart of the story is Pride Royal Ivy, a young girl who, at just eight years old, dramatically realizes she has been reincarnated into the world of an otome game. Not just any character, but the notorious future wicked queen and ultimate final boss! Endowed with remarkable intelligence, formidable powers, and immense influence as the crown princess, Pride initially believes her destiny is to spread despair. However, a sudden change of heart leads her down a different path. Rather than fulfilling her villainess role, Princess Pride resolves to defy fate, protect the game’s male love interests, and use her ‘boss-tier’ abilities to save everyone she can. The burning question remains: can this destined final boss truly transform into a beloved savior, earning the adoration of her kingdom?
