My name is Arinel Maila, a ten year old Extra Citizen 1 in an empire headed for ruin due to a tyrant’s rule and an impending famine. Refusing to starve in her second life, she uses memories from her past world to quietly farm in a peaceful village alongside oddly affectionate, mysterious neighbors.

​One day, every villager vanishes overnight, leaving behind only a single letter. Left alone, Arinel endures until she is kidnapped and wakes up inside the Imperial Palace.

​To her shock, her closest neighbor, Uncle Zimmer, is wearing a crown as the original novel’s tyrant, Parmes Aslet. Holding a scribble she once made, he insists she signed a marriage contract with his dazzlingly handsome son. Soon after, the secret of her late father’s noble lineage comes to light, turning her quiet life upside down.
