The first episode revolves around the unusual situation of Raeliana McMillan. Originally known as Hanasaki Rinko, she mysteriously found herself in the world of a novel after a seemingly fatal incident. Instead of waking up in her familiar surroundings, she opened her eyes in the breathtaking villa of the McMillan family and was reborn as the beautiful Raeliana.

The episode describes Raeliana's first experiences in her new world, which stand in stark contrast to her previous life. She enjoys the luxury of living in a grand mansion, being cared for by devoted servants, and being part of a wealthy family. However, Raeliana's newfound happiness is overshadowed by the realization that she is living the life of a character who is doomed to die in the original novel's plot.

Raeliana soon learns that her character was poisoned by her fiancé, Francis Brooks, a fact that understandably shocks and terrifies her. Brooks is portrayed as a seemingly kind and charming man, but Raeliana is aware of his sinister intentions. In a desperate attempt to change her fate, she tries to sabotage their relationship to force Brooks to break off the engagement. Despite her efforts—ranging from destroying his clothes to feigning clumsiness during a hunt—Brooks remains oblivious and unimpressed.

After numerous failed attempts to separate from Brooks, Raeliana devises a new plan. She seeks help from Noah Voltaire Wynknight, a highly influential duke of the kingdom and the main character of the novel. Armed with the knowledge only she possesses as a reader of the novel, she approaches the duke with the intention of making a deal. Her goal is to leverage the duke's influence to counter Brooks' power and ensure her survival.

The episode ends with a tense interaction between Raeliana, the duke, and Brooks. She declares her supposed affection for the duke in front of Brooks, hoping to provoke his jealousy and ultimately lead to the dissolution of their engagement. Raeliana's words pique the duke's interest and agitate Brooks, setting the stage for the potential conflicts and drama to come.

While Brooks is furious and suspicious, Raeliana returns home, where her future hangs in the balance. By the end of the episode, the duke orders an investigation into Raeliana, leaving her to reflect on her actions and their possible consequences.
