Just when Penelope and Callisto think they’re safe, a torrential wave plunges them deep into the ocean! All Penelope can focus on is getting out alive, so...how did she end up with Callisto’s lips on hers?! With Eckles’s affection meter reaching 99%, though, the duke’s daughter can't afford to dwell on the other love interests. Her coming-of-age ceremony is swiftly approaching, which means the end of Hard Mode follows right behind. One measly percentage point away from finally escaping the game-can Penelope make it in time...?!

“Your eyes, my lady, are only filled with sorrow, never joy.”Penelope and Callisto safely escaped the assassins, but the danger is far from over. The crown prince has been left in mortal peril, and Penelope…is standing trial for attempted murder?! Accused of attacking seven nobles during the Hunt, she faces a court proceeding that, in actuality, is nothing more than an elaborate sham to frame her. With false testimonies filling the courtroom, Derrick proving himself untrustworthy, and Callisto being unfit to tak e the stand, will Penelope rise against all odds and prevail…?

“When I’m with you, there’s truly never a dull moment.”The Hunt is on! Penelope heads off to the small-game area in hopes of finding a present for Eckles…only to run into a hostile bear! Armed with desperation and a crossbow, Penelope holds it off, until Callisto unexpe ctedly comes to her rescue. Despite his heroism, Penelope wants nothing but to get away from the seemingly obsessed, definitely dangerous crown prince. Fate has other plans, though-someone has sent assassins after Callisto, and Penelope is now caught in the cross fire, tasked by the game system to protect him. Still, this might just be a chance to raise his affection… if they can make it out with their lives, that is!

“I don’t want to live like this either, only ever being despised.”Life in hard mode for “villain” Penelope Eckhart means with every step forward, she’s shoved five steps back. Just when things seem to be stabilizing between her and the brothers, she finds herself coming to blows with Reynold, who insists on dredging up the past-an affront Penelope refuses to take lying down. To make matters worse, she’s forced to attend the hunting tournament hosted by the crown prince…and Callisto + weapons = a recipe for DANGER!

Penelope’s fate is looking grim, but she’s got a plan: sneak out, rescue Eckles, and secure herself a one-way ticket out of death. The problem with making the seemingly docile boy her “all-in” love interest? He’s a lot more dangerous than she expected! A single bad hand means she’ll go bust, and Penelope quickly realizes she needs a backup plan?that is, a backup man! Winter appears to be the obvious choice, but there’s more to the enigmatic sorcerer than meets the eye…With the odds stacked against her, will Penelope be able to play her cards right?

Playing Daughter of the Duke's Super Love Project as the easy mode heroine, Ivonne, makes charming the male characters a breeze. But once you switch to hard mode and step into the shoes of Penelope, the misunderstood villain, it's nearly impossible to even stay alive! So imagine the shock of suddenly waking up in Penelope's body-you know right away that your life is on the line. With love interests who will kill you if their affection meters drop too low and the inability to speak without choosing from pre-selected dialogue, it quickly becomes clear that Penelope's chances have been rigged from the start-and this villain might just be destined to die!
