Suiseisha describes the synopsis of The Perfect Prince Loves Me, the Side Character?! as:
After finding himself reincarnated into the world of a novel, Loneal goes to great lengths to steer clear of Prince Alec, the hero, to avoid disrupting the main storyline between Alec and the heroine, Lily. However, to Loneal’s great surprise, the prince becomes infatuated with…him?!
“A charming physique, such as yours, more than makes up for your lack of experience.”
Before he knows it, he finds himself melting into the prince’s arms… Why is everything so different from the novel?!
