Lee Junuw only read a few free chapters of a notorious regret-romance fantasy before waking up inside it as one of its doomed male leads.

His first decision is simple: withdraw from the Grand Duchess's marriage tournament and disappear before the inevitable obsession begins.

Unfortunately, choosing not to play his role makes him far more interesting than ever.

While a heartbroken Grand Duchess searches for answers, Elden leaves the capital with an eccentric group of companions, spending his days hunting monsters, cooking impossible meals, and discovering that escaping the story's tragedy may be far more complicated than staying in it.
