Azalea, the duke's daughter, possessed memories of a past life – memories of being executed for leading the emperor astray and plunging the nation into chaos. Branded a villainess and seeing her entire family annihilated, she swore never to involve herself with those in power again before she died. Yet, by some twist of fate, Azalea in this life finds herself engaged to Prince Lotus. In her previous life, her only virtue was her beauty. In this life, she doesn't even possess that.

"Surely someone more suitable for His Highness than my incompetent self will appear. When that happens, I should gracefully withdraw," thought Azalea, who had lost all confidence due to her past life. However, she was oblivious to one crucial fact.

"Your Highness! Please stop befriending the emperor of an enemy nation as if you're just out for a stroll! Both Their Majesties almost had heart attacks!"

"Your Highness! Please stop defeating the Demon King as if it's just a training exercise! Look! The Hero is crying now, isn't he!"

"Your Highness! Please don't go to the Spirit Realm just out of curiosity! Everyone is worried sick! Come back quickly… wait, you don't know how to get back? Oh, for goodness sake! I'll rush to pick you up! Just stay put and wait for me there!"

…that the only person capable of handling the excessively high-spec Lotus was the equally high-spec Azalea herself.

This is the story of the negative, master "flag architect" Azalea and the naturally oblivious "flag crusher" Lotus, and how they eventually come together.
