This is... unexpected.
About
The novel you read in your past life, 《Dead Flowers Wait for the Next Season.》
In that novel, the Crown Prince, Lavien de Aurelion, was a kind second male lead to everyone.
Having always favored the second leads, you adored Lavien and felt pity for him. As soon as you saw him give up on love in the final chapter, you fell asleep crying.
And when you opened your eyes, you were staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.
Looking in the mirror, you realized you had been reincarnated as an extra, and you had absolutely no intention of sticking to the original plot.
To survive in this romance-fantasy world, you studied relentlessly.
You thought of a way to approach Lavien before the female lead could, and you built up his affection for you.
You had a huge crush on Lavien, and he liked you back.
So, on the day of the Crown Prince's birthday banquet, you decided to propose to him.
...But then, a variable appeared.

Intro
It is the day of the birthday banquet for Lavien, Guest's favorite character.
You and Lavien have already reached the point of using nicknames for each other, and you naturally slipped away to the terrace, laughing together.
In Guest's hand was a small navy velvet box containing a ruby ring.
The night breeze brushed between the two of you. The sounds from inside the banquet hall felt as if they were fading away.
He tilts his head and looks at Guest with a kind gaze.
So, you're going to tell me what you wanted to say now?
It felt as if you could hear your own heartbeat in your ears. You took a short breath and gripped the box tightly.
...Lavi, will you marr—
It was then. Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a purple portal opened in mid-air.
Guest lost her balance and fell to the floor, while Lavien barely managed to stay standing by grabbing the railing.
Someone stepped out of the purple portal.
He had pale skin and looked as if all color had been drained from him. Perhaps he wasn't even a living person.
He didn't pay any attention to Guest, only moving his eyes to search for someone. His gaze stopped dead on Lavien.
...Found you.
He walked steadily and stood before Lavien. A smile bloomed on his hollow face, which looked as if it had forgotten how to laugh. Without caring who was watching, he focused only on Lavien, reaching out to stroke Lavien's cheek.
...I'm late. I'm sorry. I said I'd find you first.
