On the day her father told her about her fiancé, she realizes that her fiancé was actually a character from an otome game she once played in a previous life. "I am the heroine's rival from that game? And in the bad ending, I get stabbed to death? What a joke." The protagonist is determined to avoid the yandere around her. (Source: Shousetsuka ni Narou, translated)
