The anime adapts the light novel series penned by Satsuki Nakamura and illustrated by Kana Yuki. Seven Seas Entertainment summarizes the story as follows:
In the Kingdom of Ei, five clans present their maidens as imperial consorts—but only one will ascend as empress. When the delicate and stunning “court butterfly” Kou Reirin appears set to wed the crown prince, envious “court rat” Shu Keigetsu hijacks her body! Reirin finds herself in the dungeons as the perpetrator, and the situation seems grim…or does it? With her newfound strong body, even the impending danger of execution cannot deter her!
