The anime is based on the light novel series of the same name by Oda Hiro. Author Oda (Tensei Reijou wa Boukensha wo Kokorozasu) started the story in January 2020 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Kadokawa published the first novel with illustrations by Tsubasa.v in August 2020.

The story depicts the love story between the protagonist, who is reincarnated as Pia, a mob character who plays the villainous young lady in a girls’ game, and her fiancé, Lord Rufus. Knowing from her previous life that she will be sentenced to banishment and have her engagement annulled at the end of the game, Pia offers to break off the engagement herself to Rufus, saying.
