The Perfect Prince Loves Me, the Side Character?! (2024)

Following an accident, Loneal finds himself reborn as a side character in the renowned fantasy novel, 'The Silver Prince and the Holy Bride.' As a fan of the novel in his former life, Loneal is aware of the plot, and does his utmost to avoid meddling in the developing romance between the story's primary hero, Prince Alec, and the captivating heroine, Lily. However, despite Loneal's earnest attempts, he ends up in a precarious situation. Just when he braces himself for Prince Alec's condemnation, the story's hero instead confesses to Loneal, saying, "I've always wanted to touch you..." His eyes ablaze with passion!

As Loneal struggles to create an antidote for the love potion, Alec approaches him with a proposition for a date, both donning their royal uniforms. Stepping outside the academy, Loneal and Alec savor their time together, free from the concerns of others. Alec surprises Loneal with a thoughtful gift—a necklace—and hints at potentially calling off his engagement with Lily. The carriage ride back is uncomfortable, and when Loneal tries to express gratitude for the gift, Alec cooly responds, saying, "Why don't we pick up where we left off yesterday?"

Venturing into the forest in search of antidote ingredients, Loneal falls prey to an attack by a mysterious hooded man. Fortunately, Alec comes to his rescue just in the nick of time. However, unsettling words from the mysterious assailant suggest that, in his previous life, Loneal might have been considered an enemy of the prince. Disturbed by this revelation, Loneal realizes he has lost the necklace gifted by Alec and, amidst the pouring rain, returns to the forest alone. Loneal is discovered by the concerned Alec. In a comforting gesture, Alec tenderly embraces Loneal, bringing warmth to his chilled heart and body.

Loneal, overwhelmed by guilt for changing the course of the original story, devises a plan to set things right. His idea involves bringing Alec and Lily closer by inviting them to a picnic in the rose garden. However, as he witnesses them together, a pang of anguish grips his heart. Alec, who has long seen through Loneal's strategy, calmly inquires about the plan. Faced with the prince's cool and composed voice, Loneal realizes he can't keep anything from the dashing Alec.

Loneal is caught off guard when a sudden uniform inspection is sprung on him by the disciplinary committee. Panicking at the idea of his necklace from Alec being confiscated, Loneal is in a frenzy. However, an unfamiliar junior named Zeno steps in to help! Loneal quickly connects with the friendly and sociable Zeno but Alec, unusually moody, is displeased. With a brief greeting, Alec takes Loneal's hand and leads him into an empty classroom. Why would the prince react in such a stern way?
