When the economy collapses in September 2008, an exhausted career woman’s fate is left in flux…until she’s reincarnated! Now she’s Keikan Runa–the villainous daughter of the Keika Group–in an otome game set before the pop of Japan’s economic bubble. Keika Group’s financial situation isn’t great: they’re on the verge of ruin if left unchecked. However, Runa is determined to save both Keika Group and Japan through risky, smart investments. Thanks to an interest in cold hard cash, knowledge of future technology, and her awareness of Japan’s real-world future doom, Runa might just be able to nip the looming economic collapse in the bud. Witness the rebirth of Japan’s economy as Runa uses her knowledge to save her new present from the future!

“‘Lehthan Sisters, that investment bank, has just filed for Chapter 11. The New York Stock Exchange is in chaos.’

My downfall had begun.

My former life was worthless. The cutthroat, immoral company I worked myself to the bone for, with very little reward, had collapsed and let me go with a snap of their fingers. Left with nothing, I ended up dying an unceremonious, unremarkable death. It was a time period that treated its contemporaries like toys.

Yet this isn’t a story of my conviction. This is a story of my—no, our—revenge on the age in which we were born.”
