About

The Hinamiya is a palace where young ladies from five noble families are gathered to be groomed as the next empress. Among them, Reirin of the House of Kou—beautiful, brilliant, and hailed as the "Prince's Butterfly"—was beloved by all. However, on the night of the Tanabata Festival, Keigetsu of the House of Shu, a woman loathed by everyone as a "villainess," uses a forbidden art to swap their bodies. When Reirin comes to, she finds herself in Keigetsu's body, facing an immediate death sentence. But Reirin, who has lived her entire life in a frail body on the verge of death, is actually overjoyed to have finally gained a healthy physique?! What seemed like a tragedy becomes a new beginning. With her nerves of steel, Reirin enjoys her freedom even when exiled to a dilapidated shack, charming those who seek her life with her natural brightness and kindness as she overcomes one adversity after another. Meanwhile, Keigetsu, who once envied and hated Reirin, finds her heart wavering as she experiences Reirin's true character. On the night a comet streaked across the sky, the fates of two girls were swapped. From that day on, their destinies change forever, eventually drawing them into a conspiracy that shakes the inner palace. A grand reversal drama of swapped identities in the imperial court, featuring two polar-opposite girls, begins now!
