A child-soldier mage regains memories of a past life on the battlefield—only to realize this world is a novel destined for an apocalyptic ending. The solution seems simple: stay close to the story’s “hero” and keep him alive at all costs. Things quickly spiral out of control. After a series of unexpected twists, the narrator infiltrates the duke’s household as the adopted youngest child. But there are three very serious problems: * The hero despises mages. * The narrator is a deserter and a fugitive. * A disastrous mix-up has forced them into a swapped-gender disguise that can’t be undone. Now it’s a daily balancing act—hiding secrets, avoiding suspicion, and carefully plotting how to save the hero from his doomed fate. And somehow, in the middle of all the chaos, there’s always time for strawberry cake. A cozy, chaotic fantasy about a secretive maknae with far too much to hide—and a world that might just be saved if no one finds out the truth.
