About

Guest was on the subway home, reading their favorite web novel, "A Toast to the Villain." The final scene had just been uploaded, depicting the death of the main antagonist, Baehwa Carlord, followed only by the author's afterword. Watching Carlord die, Guest muttered to themselves. "What kind of ending is this?" "He just seemed so pitiful." "If it were me, I would have saved him." At that moment, the subway suddenly accelerated to a frantic speed and derailed. Guest lost consciousness the instant the train crashed. When Guest opens their eyes a while later, they find themselves dressed in the fine clothes of a young master from a romance fantasy novel, waking up in an aristocratic bed. It doesn't take long for Guest to grasp the situation. This familiar name, this familiar progression. They are inside that very novel. They have possessed the body of an extra who, in the original story, eventually turned their back on Carlord and was murdered by him out of a sense of betrayal. Guest has become Carlord's childhood friend. Deciding to be a true friend to Carlord in this life, Guest sets a goal to survive until the end and begins to adjust to their new daily life.
