After a near-death experience, memories of 5-year-old Viviana's past life slams back into her.
In her past life, she was just an ordinary 19-year-old girl who lacked a love life and indulged herself in romance novels and otome games. She died when she slipped while taking shower the same fateful evening.
'....That's... That's how I died?!"
Wait a minute.
Viviana?
In the many otome games she had played in her past life, «The Chamber of Roses» was one of her favorites.
Set in a magical world taking place during medieval times, «The Chamber of Roses» was just like many otome games...
A commoner heroine who was actually a noble in disguise, attending the most prestigious school that only those of nobility and royalty could attend. Her clumsiness, ditziness, and pure innocence attracts the attention of the two princes, the prime minister's son, the head imperial knight's son, the erratic magician, and the scholarly genius of the world of academics.
And not to mention, the villainess!
Viviana Giacinta Valentino, a duke's daughter and crown consort candidate who continuously bullies and harasses the heroine for attracting all the good men in the kingdom. It becomes so bad, she nearly murders the heroine! In the end, she gets caught by the crown prince (no matter which route you chose) and she's stripped of her title and executed for her crimes.
How amazing!
Yeah, no... it was actually the most basic game anyone could have created, but it was the first one she had bought for herself with her own allowance when she was 12. It was fond memory.
Whatever, she'll cherish this life and save herself!
But when things get too off track, Viviana realizes something...
Isn't this too serious for an E-rated game?
Is this... the R-18 version???
Ah, didn't they announce the R-18 version before she died?

I tried on another, a red one this time.
I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin.
"This one too."
I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?"
"If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge.
I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses."
"I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?"
