To borrow a witch's power and break out of the space imprisoning her, Lilyko, a predatory, sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside human girl, enters four parallel worlds with a talking puppet and searches for the fragments of a witch's necklace, lost in different spaces.
Her interference sends these worlds down strange and twisted paths.
Along the way, she changes the fate of a self-loathing, self-destructive masked man,
plays a life-or-death teacher-student game with a tsundere earl who faints whenever he tells the truth,
seduces a winter god's priest cursed to die if his heart is broken,
and tricks a ruthless Thornbird into giving her his heart.
Perhaps as punishment for interfering, the restored witch's gem forcibly takes her to a deranged world where everyone is evil. The great fire caused by the witch turns the sky red. Grim-faced subjects surround the royal city, swords and spears in hand. Clutching the memories and life she had lost and regained, she faces her final choice.
