Waking amid a shocked crowd, the protagonist realizes she transmigrated into Rory Jenison — the cross-dressed child of Duke Jenison who, in the novel, bullies Yisroel Lear and is later executed. At their first meeting with 16-year-old Yisroel she panics, clumsily grabs and insults him while trying to make a good impression. A System Notice then appears: Rory's role is to humiliate the male lead to push him toward tyranny; a hidden task offers gaining his favor to return home, but falling to -100 favor means early death. Cornered, she decides she must humiliate him to survive.
