Just an ordinary country girl reaches eighteen...
...she discoverers she's actually the duke's youngest child, who's been missing for six years!
Her identity forgot, having lived all the while as a commoner, she returns to the ducal household on this day...
...and is instantly inundated with curious encounters and new relationships!

The woman who usurped the heroine's rightful place, a fake daughter of the duke - just what is she plotting?!
Defeat the villain, retake your rightful name and fortune, and even find your true love!
Past older family
Everything was perfect.
Past older family
Serves you right. Who do you even think you are?
Past older family
Aw, that's no fair? Then get lost.
Past older family
What, you still don't get it?
Past older family
There's no place for you in our home.
Penelope past
I'd gotten my freedom at last.
Penelope past
And that alone... was all I need to be happy.
Derrick Eckhart
You were clearly told not to make a sound. To be quiet as a corpse.
Derrick Eckhart
And yet there you were, raving like a rabid dog at the crown prince's banquet.
Derrick Eckhart
Just what possessed you to act like that?
Huh? My voice isn't working. Is this a dream?
Where in the world is this-
1 The h@ll should I know?
2 Nothing I'd particular, really.
3 I...I just...(In a groveling tone)
Derrick Eckhart
Speak. It would be in your best interest.
I don't get what's going on... But if I don't answer, I might die! (picks the 3 choice)
Penelope past
I...I just...
All on its own, my voice...?!
Derrick Eckhart
You just...what? Explain.
1. I apologize. I will act more conscientiously.
2. I told you - it was that idiotic maid's fault.
3. Those vermin weren't showing due respect to me, the duke's daughter!
Derrick Eckhart
If this matter could be mitigated with a tepid apology, I wouldn't be here addressing you as such.
Derrick Eckhart
Starting now... You will be under probation.
Derrick Eckhart
Social functions are, of course, forbidden, but neither are you to leave this room.
Derrick Eckhart
You must reflect upon what you did wrong, as well as what behavior will better befit you going forth.
What did I go wrong...? But what did I even do?
Derrick Eckhart
Penelope Eckhart...
Derrick Eckhart
... For the time being...
Derrick Eckhart
Your family name-Eckhart- will also be rescinded from you.
Derrick Eckhart
You dare look at something other than me right now?
This doesn't make any sense...
Penelope past
*shakes head*....
Derrick Eckhart
... It seems that talk of you losing your mind holds some truth.
Derrick Eckhart
*turns away*
Derrick Eckhart
*walks away and leaves her*
Penelope past
*sees another person*
Reynold Eckhart
Got what you deserve, wench.
Reynold Eckhart
*leaves the room after giving her a glare*
Penelope past
This can't be real, right..?
There's no way I'd believe this.
It's impossible. I'm just dreaming. I...
Penelope past
*pats her face*
Penelope past
No, this isn't...
Penelope past
It's not me. No way.
Girl
So did you play that game yet?
Girl
What else? The one with ads for it all over.
Penelope past
Ohh. Yeah, I did! I almost put it down, though. That one character was so awful.
Penelope past
What was her name? You know, that fake heroine.
Girl
Oh, yeah, the villain.
Ch.2
The illegitimate child of a wealthy family.
What a romantic setting for a girl.
If they were a character in a drama or novel.
They would be a heroine in a Cinderella story.
Penelope past
But the reality is that...
Penelope past
This isn't a drama or a novel.
Penelope's past father
For now on she will be living with us.
Penelope's past father
Although your mothers are different, she is your little sister.
Penelope's past father
Treat her well.
Penelope past
A worthless child.
Penelope past
Living with my mother in a one-room apartment or a future in an orphanage.
Penelope past
Would've been better for me.
Penelope past
That son of a b@tch older brother...
Penelope past
Damn father, how could you let a b@sterd like that handle my move?
Penelope past
You know how much they torture me.
Penelope past
Why don't you just leave me to live on the streets, huh?
Penelope past
They should just worry about the ongoing inheritance process...
Penelope past
*smiles softly*
Penelope past
Ah~ Whatever!
Penelope past
I'm free now!
Penelope past
*plops on the bed*
* The neighbors above her apartment banged on the floor of her ceiling* You're too loud!
Living in that house until now was so painful.
Whether it was at home or school, my half-brothers would endlessly torture me.
And my father didn't give a d@mn about anything they did.
I worked hard to get a prestigious university, so I could have a reason to move out.
And escape my hellish family.
*later at the university*
Gossip
Hey! Did you guys beat the game?
Gossip
I'm on hard mode, and their favorability seriously won't go up.
Gossip
Is it even possible to win?
Gossip
It's probably pay to win.
Penelope past
What are they talking about?
Girl
It's about a game that is trending recently.
Penelope past
'The lady's love project'...
Penelope past
It looks so childish...
Penelope past
How is it trending with a title like this?
Girl
(You won't regret it. Just download it and give it a try)
Penelope past
I'm not really interested... but this is all they talk about in school.
Penelope past
*tapped the phone screen*
Penelope past
I'll just see, what's it's about. (I'm not going to my part-timed anyway)
An ordinary girl about to turn eighteen, Yvonne
She is the youngest daughter of the Ducle house. Six years ago, she was separated from her family in an accident.
As she returns to her forgotten life in the Ducle family after living as a commoner, she becomes surrounded by a series of new instances and connections.
Target the male leads and raise their favorability.
You can also earn fame and wealth by getting rid of the villainess who likes to interfere with the heroine.
If you reach 100% of favorability with any of the male leads, you will receive a confession of love and obtain an ending...
Penelope past
What the, it's so simple.
Penelope past
Isn't this pretty generic? Although the pretty art is a plus.
Penelope past
*looks at the clock*
Penelope past
SINCE I HAVE CLASS
TOMORROW MORNING, I'LL
JUST PLAY THE PROLOGUE
AND GO TO SLEEP.
Penelope past
I couldn't sleep...
Penelope past
This is more
fun than I thought!
The system is unique
and 'it's really well
made. (That illustration quality.)
Penelope past
Somehow, it's like I'm reading my own story.
THE HEROINE, WHO HAD LOST HER STATUS AND LIVED IN POVERTY RETURNED TO THE DUCAL HOUSE.
I, who was brought into a wealthy family one day, be my father.
EVEN DOWN TO THE
TWO OLDER BROTHERS
WHO WERE WARY OF THE
SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF
A YOUNGER SISTER.
Penelope past
BUT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN OUR SITUATIONS
ARE LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.
Penelope past
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE
BROTHERS ARE MALE LEADS
TOO. WELL, IT'S KIND OF FUN
TO TAME BRATS LIKE THESE.
ALL THE TARGET
CHARACTERS START
WITH 30% FAVORABILITY
IN NORMAL MODE.
IT'S FUN, BUT IT'S
TOO EASY, EVEN FOR A
BEGINNER LIKE ME.
Penelope past
THIS SHOULD
BE CALLED EASY
MODE INSTEAD OF
NORMAL MODE.
Penelope past
І ENDED UP FINISHING
ALL the ENDING S. IS THERE
ANYTHING ELSE ТО DO...
Penelope past
WHAT'S THIS?
Penelope past
YOU CAN NOW
PURCHASE THE GAME'S
HIDDEN ENDING'
Penelope past
A-A HUNDRED
THOUSAND?!
Penelope past
WHY IS IT SO
EXPENSIVE FOR JUST
AN ENDING?
Penelope past
Illegitimate child
of a
Rich Family
Attribute:
Poor
Penelope past
IS THERE NO
OTHER WAY?!
Penelope past
RIGHT, THERE IS HARD MODE TOO.
Penelope past
BUT DO I HAVE TO CLEAR ALL OF THOSE TOO..?
Penelope past
IT'S LATE ALREADY AND I HAVE CLASSES TOMORROW.
Penelope past
АН, WHATEVER!
HOW HARD CAN
MОDЕ ВЕ?
IN HINDSIGHT, I'VE MUST OF GONE CRAZY FOR A SECOND AT OF THE THOUGHT FACT THAT THE ENDING WAS JUST OUT OF REACH.
OTHERWISE, I WOULD'VE DONE SUCH A THING.
Penelope past
WOAH, THIS IS COOL
Penelope past
THE VILLAINESS IS
THE HEROINE NOW?
INHARD MODE, THE
STORY WILL BE PLAYED FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF THE VILLAINESS,
<PENELOPE ECKART>
A FAKE LADY, BROUGHT IN TO
REPLACE THE REAL DAUGHTER
WHO WENT MISSING WHEN SHE
WAS YOUNG.
JUST WHAT HAPPENED IN
THE DUKEDOM, PRIOR TO
YVONNE'S RETURN?
EXPERIENCE HER STORY IN
HARD MODE NOW!
TO BE CONTINUED ♤♡◇♧ (Thank goodness!)
Ch.3 and Ch.4
Penelope past
Argh!! Again! I died Again! *throws the phone*
Penelope past
*mad* Is this meant to be impossible!? Sure, it's on hard mode, but still!
Penelope past
Raising affection as the villain is tough on its own...
Penelope past
... But if you were to make the wrong choice-bam! It's game over!
Penelope past
*Thoughts* And literally, every game over is just gruesome death!
Penelope past
The game is freaking messed up...
Penelope past
She seemed so horrible in normal mode. But seeing the story from her point of view, she didn't even do anything wrong.
Penelope past
Why are they treating her like this?
Penelope past
*tapped the phone 2x* *stubborn* Come on! Just let me live once!
Penelope past
*thought* At first, I only wanted to get the hidden ending, but now I'm fully invested.
Penelope past
The heroine won everyone over easily in normal mode.
Penelope past
But her... No matter how much she seeks affection, she only ever ends up worse off.
Penelope past
A villain living life in hard mode...
Penelope past
... Who's every path leads to death.
Past older family
If it's so 'unfair,' why don't you go to Father about it?
Past older family
Oh, right, you can't. You know perfectly well he has no interest in you.
Past older family
Not even if you're starving, not even if you're getting picked on in school.
Past older family
Cos you... aren't really part of the family.
Penelope past
So much of the villains' story... Mirrored my own.
Penelope past
And so I'd die and die again...
Penelope past
These d@mn brothers. Ho ahead, keep killing me. You'll get yours in the end - I'll make sure of it.
Penelope past
*pressed the reset button* I should make an in-app purchase and buy affect - No, no, no, I'm not that far gone. Reset, Reset, Reset.
Penelope past
Start over and die once more. And then start all over again. But...
Penelope past
*tossed the phone*
Penelope past
Even as the sun rose, I hadn't seen the ending I was looking for.
Penelope past
Gotta try again... until her story... doesn't end in death.
Maid
Miss, it's time to wake up.
Penelope Eckhart
Is she talking to me?
Penelope Eckhart
Right...Last night.
Penelope Eckhart
I opened my eyes and found myself here instead of my bed.
Penelope Eckhart
No, not myself...someone else.
Penelope Eckhart
And though I hoped all night it to be a dream... This is, in fact, reality.
Penelope Eckhart
I really am the game's villain-
Penelope Eckhart
Penelope Eckhart.
Penelope Eckhart
*wakes up and sits up* *pressed on her arm*
Penelope Eckhart
ACK...!! *jolts up*
Penelope Eckhart
What the...? My arm feels like it's been struck by lightning. Why-?!
Penelope Eckhart
What is this...?
Penelope Eckhart
*pulls up her sleeve*
Penelope Eckhart
*shocked* Needle marks...?!
Penelope Eckhart
*arm throbs*
Penelope Eckhart
(She looks exactly like the maid from the game...)
Penelope Eckhart
(What the h@ll did you do while I was sleeping....?!)
Penelope Eckhart
(Sh@t... I can't speak! So when I don't get the selection screen, my voice just don't work?)
Maid
The bath is ready. Do please wash up, Miss.
Penelope Eckhart
....*goes to the bathroom*
Penelope Eckhart
(Not that I wanted her to, like, attend to me, but... A single shallow bowel of cold water? Really?)
Penelope Eckhart
(I knew this character got treated like crap, but I didn't think about how they'd take shape in little details like this.
Penelope Eckhart
(I mean, there was nothing in the game about needles...
Penelope Eckhart
Ah! *realized it*
Penelope Eckhart
No- There was!!
Penelope Eckhart
(And it just had to be on the death screen!) (D@mn, anyone who even noticed would dismiss those as blood stains!)
Penelope Eckhart
(Was that meant to be foreshadowing?! How could anyone have known?!)
Penelope Eckhart
*sweat* (This game is needlessly detailed, I swear.)
Maid
*knocked on the door* Your breakfast is served, Miss.
Maid
You still need more time?
Penelope Eckhart
(This maid...)
Penelope Eckhart
(I should be able to handle this sh@t without blinking.)
Maid
Here, miss. Sit down.
Maid
I'm sure you're hungry, so eat up.
Penelope Eckhart
(Is she... telling me to eat this? This actual trash...?)
Penelope Eckhart
-! *looks to the maid*
1. Are you mad?! I demand to see the cook! (upend the table)
2. After you! (force-feeds the maid)
3. (eat it)
Penelope Eckhart
(More choices?!)
Penelope Eckhart
(But... I already know these choices. I had to retry this part twice when starting hard mode... Because I chose the wrong answer both times and got game overs.)
Penelope Eckhart
(It's the exact same scene... But I'm not the one going through it.
Penelope Eckhart
(And I know that only one of these answers isn't a death trap.)
Penelope Eckhart
(If you chose the maid suddenly looking pitiable, rush to the duke and gripes about Penelope's wickedness.)
Penelope Eckhart
(Then, when word reaches the older brother, he forbids you from being served anything, even a drop of water, and you succumb to death in this very room)
Penelope Eckhart
( You can't choose 2 either, just as you do. The younger brother passes by as he's to the commotion... and pushes you away from the maid. You fall to the floor, and an unfortunately placed fork impales your neck. You die.)
Penelope Eckhart
(What if I'm a sunfish?) (Even if It was a bit tedious, I could just go back and select a different path...)
Penelope Eckhart
(But this isn't a game. There's no start over or reset save.)
Penelope Eckhart
*picked eat it*
Penelope Eckhart
*grabs the spoon and shoves the rotten soup in her mouth.* (My body automatically-!)
Penelope Eckhart
(This is supposed to be food? Yeah, right. Calling it trash is an understatement!)
Penelope Eckhart
BURGH...!
Penelope Eckhart
(I can't stop myself!) *grabs the bread*
Maid
M-Miss! You're really...?!
Penelope Eckhart
(How much longer? How much more do I have to clear this event-?!)
Reynold Eckhart
*walks in* What's going on here?
Maid
Y-Young master Reynold!
Reynold Eckhart
? *walks over to Penelope*
Penelope Eckhart
(Why does this Sh@t happen to me?)
Penelope Eckhart
(That d@mn house...)
Penelope Eckhart
(Whether it was after class or at the dinner table...those A@sholes never let me see a second of peace.)
Penelope Eckhart
(Their mother died of some illness before I was even born...yet they act like I, a child, was eternal nemesis.)
Penelope Eckhart
(So why, even in this game world, am I...?!)
Reynold Eckhart
Hey, what's wrong with...
Reynold Eckhart
What in the...?!
Reynold Eckhart
*sees the rotten food*
Reynold Eckhart
... You *looks to the maid*
Reynold Eckhart
You were feeding this to her?
Maid
Y-Young master I-I...
Reynold Eckhart
HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO AN ECKHART?! THE NERVE! *slammed the table with his fist*
Reynold Eckhart
A MERE MAID, AT YOUR OWN MISTRESS'S DINING TABLE...!
Maid
Young Master, No! I-I wasn't..!
Reynold Eckhart
GET OUT. NOW.
Reynold Eckhart
Don't think I won't be telling my father and brother of this. IS THERE NO ONE PUT HERE?! BUTLER!
BUTLER
Yes, Young Master? Is there something the matter?
Reynold Eckhart
We have a tramp in need of kneeling. Take her away.
*The servants takes the maid away*
Maid
Young Master! I-I apologize! Please!
Maid
Young Master! Young Master!
Reynold Eckhart
*pats her shoulder* Oy, you all right?
Reynold Eckhart
Why'd you just sit there like an idiot and scarf that crap down? Why not shout and flip the table? You know, like normal?
Penelope Eckhart
(Because eating that preferable to dying with a fork in my neck, courtesy of you) * That is what I'd say, but I can't speak without those d@mn choices*
Penelope Eckhart
(Pink hair... so the younger Duke's son's helps get you out of this one situation)
Penelope Eckhart
(But is it really just that maid who's subjected Penelope to this level of harassment? It seems more likely that there's something of hive mind among the staff here.)
Penelope Eckhart
(And if not for all the major figures in this Ducal house - like this b@sterd- actively turning a blind eye...)
Penelope Eckhart
(... something like this never would have happened.)
Reynold Eckhart
Hey, you're not looking too good. Shouldn't we call the physician?
*ding*
1. Don't bother.
2. What is it to you? Get out of my room!
3. Cut the act, douchebag.
Penelope Eckhart
(Theses again... So I basically always have to watch my step if I don't want to die, is that it? This sucks...)
Penelope Eckhart
(If I were unfamIliar with this world, i surely would have thanked you for your concern. But the truth behind these empty words of yours...)
Penelope Eckhart
(I know all too well...) ... Don't bother.
