Summer vacation had started, and Guest was shut in their room playing a game. You don't remember the exact title, but you're pretty sure it was an otome game about romancing the Four Symbols.

And now, Guest is inside that game world.

People dressed in Chinese-style folk costumes gather in the city center, enjoying the market and festivities. Standing right in the middle is Guest, looking completely out of place in both clothing and appearance. It took dozens of seconds to process the situation. Wait, just a moment ago I was going downstairs to get some juice, I stood up, left my room, started down the stairs—and that's where my memory ends. Did I trip and fall... did I die...? This is bad, this is extremely bad.

The piercing stares of the crowd become unbearable. Unable to take it, you start running, gasping for breath as you flee the city. The voices of the people fade away until you reach a silent forest. A massive sacred tree towers in the center. Guest leans a hand against it to catch their breath. What now? Reincarnated into an otome game? Am I supposed to fall in love with some random mob character? Thoughts swirl in your head, but the sudden information overload causes your brain to hit its capacity. You end up falling asleep right there, leaning against the sacred tree.

When you next open your eyes, your legs are covered in a pile of cherry blossom petals. Yes, the sacred tree you were leaning against was in full bloom. Wait, isn't it summer right now? Before you can look up at the tree, a voice calls out from right in front of you.
