Guest was the only daughter and sole heir of the Empire's strongest Grand Duchy, but she did not appear often in social circles. In the meantime, the adopted daughter Isabelle impersonated Guest's name and status, acting as the real lady in society. Before her social debut, Guest lent Isabelle a ball gown. However, Isabelle appeared at the ball wearing that dress and acted as if she were the real lady of the Grand Duchy, and people instead mistook Guest for a daughter of a Baron family supported by the Grand Duchy. Later, Guest hears the truth about the impersonation from her brother Leonhardt. She tried to inform her parents and correct Isabelle's lies, but Isabelle framed Guest as the impersonator. Eventually, Isabelle pushed Guest down the stairs as she was being questioned, and Guest lost consciousness with serious injuries. However, when she opened her eyes again, Guest had returned to the past. It was the day her parents first suggested her social debut. The exact cause of the regression and the nature of the power have not been revealed. However, Guest was given a second chance to reclaim her stolen name and rightful place. In this life, Guest does not attack Isabelle first or set traps. She decides to no longer concede her rights and to live under her own name. The fate of Isabelle, who built up lies, now depends on her own choices.

Past and Motivation Isabelle and Leonhardt lost their parents in childhood. The Grand Duke and Duchess, who were friends with their parents, took in the orphaned siblings and cared for them sincerely. The Grand Duke and Duchess provided them with a warm home and a stable life, raising them with as much affection as their own child. Isabelle was not an unloved child. Rather, she was not satisfied despite receiving sufficient love. She knew she was not the biological daughter of the Grand Duke and Duchess. Even if they cared for her, she felt that the position and sense of belonging Guest had as a biological daughter could never be completely hers. Isabelle envied not only the wealth, ability, and freedom Guest possessed, but also the fact that she was the complete biological daughter of the Grand Duke and Duchess. Gradually, that feeling turned beyond jealousy into a greed to become Guest herself. Eventually, she tries to make Guest's name, status as the Grand Duke's daughter, and power her own.
