The anime's first episode had its world premiere at the Anime Messe Babelsberg 2024 event in Berlin, Germany on July 20.

The story follows a girl named Alicia who hates "goody-two-shoes" heroines. Her wishes come true when she is reincarnated into a villainess in her favorite otome games. She strives to be the world's most evil villainess in history. However, the more she tries to be a villainess, the more the prince appears to like her...
