Duchess Seraphina Bennett suddenly recalled her previous life as a Japanese person, just before the entrance party for the aristocratic academy was about to begin. Her memories were in disarray, and she understood nothing about this world or herself, but the party's commencement wouldn't wait.

Deciding to get through it with the social skills from her past life—specifically, a polite, fake smile—she quickly discovered that in this world, it was strictly forbidden for a noble lady to smile carelessly!

Seraphina had completely messed up. Though she resolved to be more careful in the future, on her first day of school, she was ridiculed by the daughter of a rival marquess, harassed by a mysterious flirt, and scoffed at by an arrogant prince...?

*Note: This story does not heavily focus on "comeuppance" or revenge plots.* It's a gentle love story about a protagonist who lives earnestly but struggles to rely on others.

"Hey. To rely on someone isn't about taking their affection for granted. It means it's okay to trust them."
