When she woke up, she found herself in the body of Raeliana [=McMillan=], the daughter of a NouveauRiche baron. However, Eunha realized that she was inside the world of a novel she once read and that [[PlotTriggeringDeath Raeliana's death by her fiancé would trigger the plot of the novel]]. When all of her plans to break up with her would-be murderer fail, Raeliana eventually claims that she's fallen for Duke Noah Wynknight, the love interest of the protagonist of the novel. Threatened by Raeliana with knowledge she gained from the novel, Noah plays along and gets engaged to Raeliana, but quickly falls for her for real.

----
!! ''Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion'' provides examples of:
* ArrangedMarriage: Raeliana was originally arranged to marry Francis Brooks before she managed to break it off. Pryse Eriteal is a country ImpoverishedPatrician who had to marry a much older man.
* AssassinationAttempt:
** Vivian Shamal attempts to assassinate Raeliana by having an emerald hairpin added to Raeliana's belongings after the latter shows her up in the Hunt. The emerald was actually an explosive crystal that would have exploded once it absorbed enough ambient light. The high priest saves Raeliana when he uses his magic to contain the explosion. [[spoiler:It later turns out that Vivian wasn't the actual perpetrator, she was only being used by them and thought the crystal only had a curse that would make the wearer ugly]].
** [[spoiler:Beatrice, with Vivian assisting her, attempts to murder Raeliana via tying her up and starting a fire during a ball at the royal palace. It fails because Vivian didn't properly tie up Raeliana, so she's able to break loose and use a BedsheetLadder to try climbing down, allowing her to hang on long enough for Noah to reach her]].
* BelligerentSexualTension: Happens most of the time between Raeliana and Noah. Majority of their appearances often involve them snarking and manipulating each other but when one of them decided to be sweet, you can't help but cringe in sweetness.
* BigBadWannabe: Vivian Shamal is very ineffective at being the villainess. Raeliana is completely unfazed by any of her silly schemes and [[spoiler:Beatrice]] plays her for a patsy.
* {{Blackmail}}: Happens a few times. Once when Raeliana blackmails Noah into their fake engagement. Later it is revealed that [[spoiler: her fiancé was actually being blackmailed into killing her. Not that that makes him a good guy]].
* ChekhovMIA: Without Raeliana's murder acting as impetus to return, Beatrice doesn't show up. Raeliana attempts contact her supposed friend by writing to the university that Beatrice was supposed to be attending but finds out that Beatrice is no longer a student. Raeliana attempts to investigate what happen, but it falls wayside. At the end of the first season, Beatrice is finally revealed [[spoiler: to be working for Vivian Shamal]].
* ChekhovsSkill: Crosses over with ChekhovsHobby. It's mentioned that Raeliana enjoyed recreational shooting with her father early in the series, and that she's very skilled with a gun. [[spoiler:This comes into play twice - once when she defends herself against Brooks by firing a warning shot into the ground right in front of his crotch, and again in the final act]].
* CrimeAfterCrime:
** First Brooks conned several women out of their fortunes and committed many counts of BreachOfPromiseOfMarriage. [[spoiler: Then he accidentally kills one of his marks when she got too possessive and is blackmailed into planning the murder of Raeliana by her brother]]. Then when she refuses to marry him and gets engaged to another man, he resorts to kidnapping.
** Vivian believed the explosive crystal disguised as an emerald hairpin [[spoiler:given to her by Beatrice]] only caused a curse to make someone ugly. She didn't realize what it actually did until after it exploded, nearly killing Raeliana. Because being connected to an attempted murder of a duchess would jeopardize her eligibility becoming queen if it ever came to light,[[spoiler:she ends up helping Beatrice attempt to murder Raeliana via fire in a later arc]].
* DubNameChange: The Japanese translation of the webcomic changes Eunha's name to Hanasaki Rinko.
* DoomedByCanon: Raeliana [=McMillan=] is fated to die at the hands of her fiance in the original novel, this leads to the reincarnated Raeliana taking steps that would ensure that she survives. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to her at the start of the story, the original Raeliana met a Dark Priestess who spoke of this fate and led to the original Raeliana making a DealWithTheDevil by swapping Park Eunha's soul (who was meant to become Beatrice) with her own]].
* EarnYourHappyEnding: There are a lot of ups and downs along the way, but Raeliana manages to earn her own happy ending.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Almost '''''everyone''''' in the story can notice Noah's feelings for Raeliana. [[spoiler: Even she noticed it, although she has her own reasons for not acknowledging them at first]].
* FantasticRacism: There's racism against the Alsasa, a population of northerners with red eyes. They are seen as bloodthirsty and inhumane.
* ForWantOfANail: In the original novel, the protagonist Beatrice returned after hearing of her friend's death, which she exposed to be a murder. In this timeline when Park Eunha transmigrated to, that does not happen [[spoiler:and Beatrice only returns ''far'' later]].
* FreakyFridayFlip: It's revealed that [[spoiler:Park Eunha was supposed to have reincarnated as Beatrice, but the original Raeliana decided to change her fate and made a DealWithTheDevil with a dark priestess before Park Eunha's awakening, resulting in Park Eunha reincarnating and becoming the Raeliana the readers are familiar with. The original Raeliana is later revealed to have become Beatrice instead]].
* GreenEyedMonster: It's very clear that, despite all the justifications [[spoiler:the original Raeliana]] has for [[spoiler:stealing Eunha's place as Beatice in order to save herself]], she was really just deeply jealous of her friend and how lucky she appeared to be in life, [[spoiler:and when she realised she could have Beatrice's beauty and fate for herself, she jumped at the chance]].
* ImHavingSoulPains: Raeliana passes out midway through the series in a very unexplained, but near fatal way. [[spoiler:The High Priest is able to help her, but reveals that her soul is rejecting Raeliana's body as it was never meant to be there, and if they don't figure out a way to help her, she ''will'' die. The same thing is happening to the original Raeliana in Beatrice's body, hence her single-minded determination to kill her old body and settle her soul]].
* MarriageOfConvenience: Noah and Raeliana only got engaged to break her engagement with her murderous ex. But then Noah started to like Raeliana for real, and Raeliana falls for Noah as the story goes on.
* MediaTransmigration: The protagonist got pushed off a building and reincarnated into the world of a murder mystery she read as Raeliana, the dead centerpiece of said mystery.
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Beatrice, or the original Raeliana]]. Every single thing she does, she has an excuse for it, or a reason why it's all [[spoiler:Raeliana's fault things are going wrong, and she just needs to be quiet and die]]. Eventually she gets called out on this, [[spoiler:right before Raeliana kills her. She points out that the original Raeliana had multiple chances to defy her fate without needing to use dark magic in the first place, but leapt at the chance to become the pretty, likeable and blessed Beatrice instead -- denying Eunha her reincarnated fate in the process and putting her life at risk in her stead]].
* NextLifeAsAFictionalCharacter: After being pushed down from a great height shortly after she got her news about being able to enter university, Park Eunha reincarnates as Raeliana [= McMillan=], who is originally a SmallRoleBigImpact extra and Beatrice's best friend whose death drove the start of the plot for Beatrice to get involved with Noah Wynknight. Wanting to avoid her DoomedByCanon fate, Raeliana decided to take things to her hands and approach Noah first.
* PottyFailure: In an establishing character moment, Raeliana shoots ''right'' next to her kidnapper's crotch to make him piss himself.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The high priest looks to be a child because his power is being suppressed. When he's using his full power, he looks like a normal adult.
* RecruitedFromTheGutter: The Duke recruits Adam into his household after his military unit was disbanded.
* ReleasedToElsewhere: Raeliana was told that Brooks and Langston were sent to St. Belle's prison for their crimes. In actuality, they were executed. [[spoiler:She figures it out later]].
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Raeliana suspects [[spoiler:her soul rejecting her body]] is a consequence of being reincarnated and going against the original story trying to defy her fate. [[spoiler:The real reason for this is because Eunha's soul was meant to become Beatrice and thus the original female lead, but the original Raeliana in an attempt to avoid her fate swapped their souls with dark magic so Eunha became Raeliana instead. Ultimately, it isn't ''her'' that threw the plot off, it's the original Raeliana]].
* RomanticFakeRealTurn: The hook of the main couple. Their relationship starts out as one of mutual convenience, and even has an end date set - six months, and then they'll amicably dissolve the partnership. Of course, there are no points for guessing how things ''actually'' turn out... [[spoiler:Especially given that Noah is meant to fall in love Beatrice... and Raeliana is Beatrice's intended soul in a different body]].
* RomanticFalseLead: Raeliana believes this, and only got engaged to Noah in order to escape Francis and her death with the intention to 'return' Noah to Beatrice once she showed up. A priestess seems to support this [[spoiler:claiming Noah's fated one is the blonde (Beatrice) and the brunette (Raeliana) needs to die]]. However, not only does Noah fall for Raeliana for real, [[spoiler:it turns out Eunha was meant to reincarnate as Beatrice, but her soul was swapped by the original Raeliana via a DealWithTheDevil before she awoke. The priestess was probably referring to the souls as they were supposed to be, rather than their present locations]].
* RunningGag: Mount Sycret's frigid temperature.
--> "Every day someone freezes to death on that mountain, even in autumn."
* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:The original Raeliana]] to Eunha aka the current Raeliana. [[spoiler:The original Raeliana also wanted to defy her fate and find happiness, but instead of choosing to actively defy it like Eunha chooses to do, she chooses to swap souls with Beatrice, who was destined to acquire happiness. This action only leads her being trapped in a desperate struggle to kill her original body when Eunha averts her own destined death with her own actions. In essence, while Eunha did believe that the novel's events couldn't be changed, she still chooses face it directly and is able to forge her own future. Meanwhile, the original Raeliana believed that destiny, both good and bad, was static no matter what she did, so she convinced herself to believe she has to become Beatrice and kill her original body to find happiness, which only leads to her dying as destined.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:The dark priestess who helped the original Raeliana swap her soul with Beatrice by convincing her it was the only way to defy her fate has minimal presence overall and she dies rather early on, but her actions spark all the conflict and changes in the story.]]
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: In the original novel, Raeliana was poisoned to death when Brooks tainted her tea with arsenic until it eventually killed her.
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: Later revealed to be one of the higher stakes of the series. [[spoiler:Both Park Eunha's soul and the original Raeliana's soul know they're in the wrong body, and are rejecting their current body in favour of their intended one. The only way to stop this, as the current "Beatrice" seems to believe, is to kill the soul's original body]].
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Park Eunha reincarnated into Raeliana [=McMillan=], and there's no going back.
* UnintentionallyNotoriousCrime: While Brooks and Langston's plan to murder Raeliana to steal her fortune was destined to fail regardless if they succeeded in killing her, it would have just landed them in jail in the original universe. Because Raeliana became the fiancée Duke Noah Wyknight's, second son of the king, in the changed universe, it landed them a one way ticket to execution.
** Played with in the final arc. [[spoiler: Beatrice ''intends'' this to be what happens to Raeliana, when she murders Vivian who has ''just'' married Siatrich and become Queen, and pins the blame on Raeliana. She did not account for the High Priest arriving just in time to reveal Beatrice's involvement in one of the previous attempts on Raeliana's life, which throws her whole testimony into question and ''her'' into the prime suspect seat]].
* WhamShot: First Vivian is arguing with someone when her AssassinationAttempt on Raeliana fails before her brother interrupts them. The brother asks that Vivian's friend introduce herself [[spoiler: only for it to be Beatrice]].
* YankTheDogsChain: Eunha had finally gotten accepted into a university after studying for a year, only to be murdered when someone pushes her off the roof.
* YouCantFightFate: Eunha was told by a priest that she was destined to die young and it came true. This drives her to actively fight against her fate as Raeliana. [[spoiler:The original Raeliana also defied this when she discovered her fate to where she made a DealWithTheDevil to swap her soul with Eunha]].
** Ultimately played with, on many levels. While Raeliana's attempts to save her own life via engagement to Noah do alter the plot of the original novel to a level she is concerned by, a lot of things do play out as the novel intended. [[spoiler:Specifically regarding the main couple, and the original Raeliana's fate: Noah's "fated one" is stated to the "the blonde one" - he ends up with Raeliana, who is "the blonde one"'s soul in a different body. The original Raeliana resorts to dark magic to swap her soul in Beatrice's body to avoid her death at Brooks' hands, but ultimately only delays the inevitable as her multiple attempts to murder her old body and secure her soul in Beatrice's body get her killed. Even then, Raeliana comments the original Raeliana that she thrived in her body, which proves to her that the original Raeliana had other options to defy her fate, but she resigned herself to believed otherwise.]]
