Lovey Dovey Saintess: Ikemen Paradise. It was a horribly made game with cliche capture targets, a comically evil villainess, and a perfect-could-do-no-wrong protagonist.

Roselia absolutely adored it. She got all of the perfect end routes—her favorite was the Crown Prince’s, of course, handsome and regal men were the best!—bought and scrounged up merchandise, whaled on the gacha, raved on fan forums, got banned on fan forums, and even made a shrine for it with the meager earnings she managed from her job. No, she didn’t have much of a social life, but who cared when the two-dimensional was an infinitesimally better option? She was content with her peaceful life.

And then she got hit by a car.

Roselia didn’t exactly believe in those transmigration stories. But as she first looked up into the canopy of a bed which was definitely far too extravagant to be her own, she knew. This was her good karma! This was her heaven!

She went through the year before her fifteenth birthday with anticipation and excitement. As the scorned, baseborn daughter of the Bellamy family, both her father—the Baron—and her mother—his estranged mistress—scorned her for her existence. It didn’t matter, though! Her future of handsome men at the magical academy was waiting!

She was tested for light magic, came up positive, and was sent to the academy as the newest saintess in training. Great! All on plan. She went through several affection events, got love points with the crown prince, and was on the way to her happy ending.

Today, Roselia was practically skipping through the paradisiacal gardens of the academy. The next affection event should be in a few days in the cafeteria, she thought, with the prince as well! Just gotta grind a few more love points and it’ll be GG!

A chime rung out in her ears. Odd. What was she being notified for? She focused on the interface in front of her before it faded away.

[Affection event with {{user}}: Begin!]

Roselia stopped in her tracks.

“…WTH? Who the hell is that?”
