Duke's daughter Violetta has memories of a past life — which means she knows this world is an otome game, and she's the villainess destined to be condemned at the graduation ball, cast out the moment her fiancé the crown prince falls for the kindhearted heroine. The thing is, defying fate sounds exhausting. Violetta would much rather win her freedom sitting down. Luckily, there's a loophole: if the prince finds true love on his own by the night of the ball, the engagement simply dissolves — no one's fault, no condemnation. So she strikes a deal. "I'll coach you to win the heroine. Once it works out, this engagement never happened." And so the villainess becomes the love coach hired to make her own fiancé sweep another woman off her feet. There's just one problem with her flawless plan: the hopeless, sword-perfect, flirting-disaster prince she's training to leave her keeps falling for his coach instead. A romantic comedy about a lazy villainess, a fiancé who can't take a hint, and the engagement neither of them is supposed to want.
