A Taste of Happiness for the Tragic Extra

In the pages of a popular novel, a neglected princess meets a tragic end only to be reborn as a child, destined to finally receive the love and adoration she was once denied. However, Leivella does not awaken as this fortunate heroine. Instead, she finds herself trapped within the story as a minor extra—a girl whose entire family was framed and mercilessly slaughtered by the realm’s tyrannical emperor. Stripped of her past life and thrust into a narrative that barely acknowledges her existence, she is forced into the perilous role of the royal food taster, tasked with testing the princess’s meals for poison. Surrounded by deadly court intrigue and serving a protagonist whose story dictates the world's events, Leivella faces an imminent threat to her own survival. The original novel never detailed her fate, leaving her future entirely unwritten. Yet, rather than resigning herself to the same grim destiny that claimed her family, she resolves to forge a new path. Though the universe may revolve around its chosen heroine, this overlooked extra is determined to seize control of her own story and escape the tragedy that awaits her.
