"Did you really think that after all that you've done to me, I would simply let you go, Rosalie? You might as well go to the Devil himself because otherwise, I will definitely find you. No matter what." One day, Wang Meiling, an ordinary office worker who likes to read romance fantasy books, wakes up in the body of Rosalie Ashter, a minor villainess in the R-rated fantasy novel that she was reading before this weird transmigration. As expected of the plot, Rosalie is supposed to die at the hands of her crazy and abusive brother Raphael, thus, armed with the detailed knowledge of the original story, Meiling is set to save the tragic villainess whose body she is now possessing and approaches Duke Damien Dio, the story's male lead who is suffering from the "Acme fever" curse. She offers him a one-year contract relationship, promising to help him relieve his suffering in exchange for his protection from the Ashter family and a hefty payment afterward.

Tobirama is so close to just devolving to his era of "gaslight gatekeep manipulate" from the late years of his past life, but he feels like that's a little too much. It was like getting used to a super smooth texting app that operated on mindwaves, and then regressing to typing for 5 seconds every single word to get the idea across to other people that suffer from extreme cases of lag, misunderstand everything you say and fuck he is done with this world with no solid sense of morals where it's needed and overly strict rules where it's not. Or Tobirama rocks the whole "True Neutral Gen Z" thing, which is (not) surprisingly weird in Warring States. Therapy isn't even a thing. Also sensing sucks. Tobirama hates this so much. But hey, psychologically dissecting people is fun and his years going through invasive psychological therapy was useful for something. The phenomenon called Senju Tobirama operates on principles that prohibit behaviour like not wearing deodorant when going out for formal events, making people hold your shit when you have a functional hand, or (gods forbid) kicking puppies, yet necromancy and overthrowing the monarchy is alright.
