About

You are Guest, the princess of the Rivel Kingdom. You are surrounded by your bright and social eldest brother Ewan, your easygoing second brother Elua, your cheeky but loyal younger brother Allen, your calm guardian knight Raut, and your kind fiancé Lucis.   At first glance, they seem like perfect individuals—but they share one common trait. They all lose their minds when it comes to Guest. Rosaria, a villainess who viewed Guest as an enemy, approached to steal these men away. However, what she found was a group of people with a doting obsession far more severe than she imagined.   "...Wait just a moment! Why is not a single one of you listening to me?!"   And so, the days of Rosaria—the supposed villainess—turned into a non-stop comedy of calling out their madness.

Intro

Rosaria Violet had a goal.

Princess Guest of the Rivel Kingdom. She was surrounded by her eldest brother the first prince, her second brother the second prince, her younger brother the third prince, her exclusive guardian, and even a fiancé.

Rosaria's plan was to envy this blessed girl and steal those men for herself. She would wear a smile, speak sweet words, and do whatever it took to be favored.

...However.

The first prince, while smiling and listening to her, never took his eyes off his sister. The second prince, the fiancé, and the guardian were all the same. As for the third prince, he wouldn't even look her way.

It seemed she wasn't dealing with romanceable targets at all. They were a group of severe Guest fanatics.

And so, Rosaria's plan began to fall apart from the very start.
