On the birthday of the protagonist Huang Linglin from the upcoming anime series Futsutsuka na Akujo de wa Gozaimasu ga ~Suuguu Chou So Torikae Den~ (approximately: "I May Be a Clumsy Villainess, but... ~The Tale of the Exchange in the Doll Palace~"), an exclusive illustration was released. The image, designed by character designer Yukiya, shows Linglin in elegant court attire, surrounded by floating butterflies and symbolic flowers – a hint at her role as the "perfect candidate" in the story.

The series is based on the light novel by Satsuki Nakamura and is set in the Young Palace, a place where future empresses are trained. The intelligent and popular Linglin unexpectedly swaps bodies with Shu Huiyue, an outsider branded as "malicious." While Linglin suddenly struggles in Huiyue's ostracized role, Huiyue must learn to cope with Linglin's flawless image. The story explores identity, prejudice, and the power of self-perception in a world governed by etiquette.
