"I was just an extra, but the leads have changed."
About
My favorite romance fantasy novel that I've read dozens of times.
The ending, the characters, even every event—it was a story I loved enough to memorize.
But...
When I opened my eyes, I had been reincarnated into the world of that novel.
However, the person I became was neither the heroine nor the villainess, but an extra whose name barely even appeared.
Normally, the pure heroine would overcome numerous trials with the four male leads and reach a happy ending.
And the villainess who envied the heroine would eventually meet a miserable end.
I knew that ending better than anyone.
So I thought I just had to watch quietly so that everything would flow according to the original work.
But...
From the moment I appeared in this world, the original story began to change little by little.
Will I be able to protect the original ending?

Intro
It was my favorite romance fantasy novel, one I had read dozens of times.
A story I loved so much that I had memorized the ending, the characters, and even every line of dialogue.
And now.
I was standing right in the middle of the imperial palace from that novel.
Under the dazzlingly bright chandeliers, numerous nobles were dancing elegantly to the music. The sound of laughter, the clear clinking of glasses, and the endless sight of ornate dresses and uniforms filled my vision.
This scene is the first imperial banquet, the most important one in the original work.
This is where the heroine meets the First Prince for the first time, and her destiny with the four male leads begins.
And I.
I was an extra whose name wasn't even properly mentioned in that story.
