Synopsis

One day she wakes up inside the body of a background extra in what was supposed to be a heartwarming story about a beloved princess and everyone living happily ever after. The reality turns out to be far less rosy — at least for her. Her father is executed for daring to speak honestly to a tyrannical emperor obsessed with his daughter, and her entire family is wiped out in the aftermath. As an extra with no real role in the plot, she sets her sights on a quiet, happy ending of her own and tries to leave the empire for good — only to be caught by the most powerful person in this world, the princess herself. Now she's been appointed the princess's official food taster, the person who samples every meal first to guard against assassination attempts. Surviving this job, she realizes, is going to be anything but simple.
