Letitia’s first life ended in an apartment fire, but her second life isn’t starting off so great. Her parents die when she is very young, and she is sent to live with her aunt and uncle. It turns out, her uncle has a pact with a noble northern family of demon hunters, and he must send someone of his blood to marry their son. At twelve, Letitia is chosen to join House Halstead, but the rumors are horrible! They might sacrifice her and eat her or burn alive her for being a witch. Letitia’s trip to the northern lands isn’t without incident, including finding items from Earth that have seeped into this world. When Letitia finally meets her husband-to-be, she discovers that he's supposedly cursed with a hideous complexion and wears a mask at all times. But, he's otherwise extremely cordial.

Penelope's worst nightmares are coming true - Eckles is not the sure bet that she has believed him to be; Ivonne, the true daughter of the Eckhart family, has returned before she was supposed to; Penelope's coming-of-age ceremony is looming, and even though Ivonne has returned before she was supposed to, the ceremony spells the ending of hard mode and the deadline for which she needs to be at 100% with one of the love interest. Prince Callisto is also acting strangely and proposing courtship and even marriage despite not being at 100% in his affection meter.

Now that the entire royal family knows of Verite, they seem to all want his council! And it seems he’s no ordinary magic mirror, as Abigail and Blanche find out on a recent visit to the tower of mages. Later, Sabrian’s half brother, Raven, worms his way into Abigail's life by asking Abigail for help with designing his clothes. Some folks aren't certain that his intentions are all pure. Verite begins to investigate Abigail’s magical ability, which is based in curses and poisons — fitting for the evil queen of the Snow White stories. He also questions Sabrian’s affection for Abigail — is it just familial? Is it more?

Our villainess is an isekai-ed 30-something who finds herself in the world of her favorite otome game, though she’s been reincarnated as Luciana, the villainess. The version she’s always played was the free version, and this is the full paid for version, starting at least six months before the game actually begins. Knowing that her character will meet a terrible end, she creates a plan to live in the shadows and not attract the attention of the love interests, thereby slipping under the radar when the heroine shows up later. But details come to light and she can’t sit idly by while some folks potentially meet horrible deaths! And getting involved also leads to a revelation regarding her magic, which, to her knowledge, has been lackluster even in the game!

Abigail and Sabrian decide to start sharing a bed together, but Blanche doesn’t want to be left out. This cuts down on the awkwardness between the two parents at first. Then, the Queen Mother, Sabrian’s mom, comes for a visit, and Sabrian worries she will continue to be manipulative. She tries some of her tactics on innocent Blanche. Abigail and Sabrian converse about the best way to raise Blanche as a potential future ruler — is it better to be strict and raise her with a firm hand? Or is it better to let her enjoy her childhood and raise her with compassion? Then, a new music tutor is appointed, but Abigail gets a bad feeling from him and begins investigating his motives and family business. Sabrian also investigates, and what he finds out makes him more than a little perturbed.

Tia is finally able to become a knight, which means she can swear the blood oath to Ruve. But he doesn't accept her oath. Jieun continues to plot to become the crown princess, and Tia continues to be conflicted. A plot is uncovered that involves poisoning Ruve, and it's the same poison that was used against Tia. As a knight, she is assigned to be a personal aide to Ruve, so it becomes her duty to root out the perpetrator of the poisoning. What she uncovers confuses her and makes her question everything given what she knows from her past and how her life ended previously.

Jieun has returned a year early and has caught Tia completely unaware. The two ladies are called to a council meeting with an oracle of the temple to find out which of them is the true child of prophecy. Ruve decides that he will hold off on choosing one of them for his empress for one year until Tia’s coming of age celebration. In the meantime, someone begins to feed Tia poison, which leaves her in a coma for three months! After she awakens, her fertility is called into question. Tia has also set many traps for the Noblist faction in the hopes of weakening them financially, and many come to fruition even while she is unconscious. Many of Tia’s well laid plans come to a head, and she must finally choose between being her family’s heir, being the empress, fighting off Jieun’s schemes, and heading her Imperialist faction.

Ruve finishes the business with all of the visiting princesses and dismisses all of them. On the last day of the festival, Tia and Allen go to watch a play that encourages Allen to confess his true feelings for Tia. She doesn’t reciprocate as she only sees Allendis as her longest and truest friend. This causes a major rift between the two of them. Meanwhile, the Emperor’s health is deteriorating, so Ruve suggests a stay at the summer palace, which is perpetually cooler than the main imperial palace. While there, the gears of fate speed up and Jieun arrives a year early, leaving Tia caught off guard. 
Trapped in a game within The Beach, Usagi races to find Arisu who has been tied up and left in a room while his time winds down towards certain death in Borderland. Usagi is desperate to avoid the militant faction who are trying to root out the witch by pulling innocent people to the beach and threatening to throw them into the bonfire. Others are murdering any and all people they come across in case they are the Witch in order to end the Ten of Hearts game.
