Lee Hee-jin reincarnates as Henry Green, a commoner orphan in a romance-fantasy web novel.
He soon realizes that his childhood friend, Rose Brenda, is destined to become the heroine of Act Like a Noble, Young Lady~!, and that childhood friends in romance-fantasy stories tend to die early, becoming tragic motivation for the heroine.
Henry has no intention of becoming a plot device.
He begins teaching Rose about romance-fantasy tropes and trains alongside her, giving her the “Red Pill” while desperately working to become strong enough to survive the story himself.
Rose quickly develops into a terrifyingly talented swordswoman, while Henry struggles his way to Stage 4, Sword Qi, through sheer determination. After surviving a deadly encounter with a demonized bandit and gaining recognition from the legendary Mercenary King Rorik, the two leave their hometown at fifteen.
They eventually train under a hermit Sword Master and reach Stage 5, Sword Force.
Four years later, Henry and Rose arrive at the Imperial Academy.
The romance-fantasy story they were supposed to follow is about to take a very different turn.
