So fl is a princess who was abandoned at birth and confined in a tower when she was like 6 or 7 the emperor (who is her uncle btw cuz she's the daughter of the princess) got her out temporarily so that she would replace his son in going to some kind of boarding school for 3 years it's smth related to the settings like there's this dragon that's about to awaken and the heirs from 5 kingdoms go to that boarding school to bond w each other while still young so that when they grow up they slay the dragon together anyways fl's uncle aka the emperor feared sending his son would expose him to external threats so he sent fl disguised as his son instead there she fell in a bond and was saved by one of the mls and she realised that she had reincarnated in a novel as a side character who would die a few years after returning from that school she's in rn so she wanted to stay away from the mls so as to avoid unnecessary attachment but we all know how that goes they became best friends while she tried her best to heal them from their trauma but she could never tell them about her identity cuz the emperor put a silence curse on her like if she ever tries to talk about her identity she'd die immediately anyway three years passed she had to return to the tower and well yeah back to that misery and after a while from her returning the prince whom she was impersonating was killed w poison then a coup happened and her other uncle took the throne and plot twist she's that new emperor's daughter that was switched at birth by the will of her mother ofc cuz of survival but no one knows that but the nanny who ran away abroad a few years ago anyway girlie survives alone for a while and gains a necklace that has an alchemy system exactly like the game she was addicted to in her past life it was pretty much the same cuz all her past life stats were there so now she's an op alchemist so she runs away from the capital on the way out of there she sneaks into a carriage gets discovered while she was sleeping but the adults were very kind to her and took care of her they were planning to go their separate ways after getting out of the capital but they offered she comes to that noble's territory and since she liked how kind that man is she agreed btw she was staying w them as a squire but they pretty much just kept spoiling her which felt good after seeing all the emotional and physical torture she went through and plot twist again that old man she decided to follow is actually her maternal grandfather so told him everything about how she's actually his granddaughter and her circumstances in gist and she kept silent about the 3 years w the mls too ofc due to the curse and she grew up there loved and spoiled and sold her alchemy potions while looking for cure for her grandma's Alzheimer so to look for an ingredient she went to the capital and had to enter the imperial palace to obtain it she tried sneaking in but she was almost caught so she joined the banquet in disguise now for the mls atp they had already slain the dragon and are revered now as heroes they come to her kingdom cuz they're looking for her girl identity like her as the princess why? Cuz they thought she killed their friend who's actually herself they were able to track and kidnap her and that's how she convinced them that she was actually a friend of their friend w some persuasion anyways they started helping her w her mission of looking for that ingredient and another thing she had to do like one of the mls actually joined her in her infiltration that I mentioned prior and another gave her a fake identity as a man to join the banquet and she's rn supposed to be his distant relative anyway she achieved both her goals of finding the last ingredient for her grandma's cure and a holy relic from the ogml that was supposed to grant her a wish that she'd use to lift the curse and tell the truth to the mls but turns out she needs 10 billion or to sacrifice a life so she puts that on hold until she has the money now she's going back to her territory and the ml just decided that they'd join her and now pretty much all of them are Sus that she's actually their friend and he's disguised as a woman to run away from the emperor cuz one of the mls saw her having a male part which was actually an illusion she had to use to prove to the emperor that she was indeed a man and well that's about it ofc I cut off the whole ingredient and holy articraft obtaining process cuz icl I'm too lazy and ofc there's a lot of details that are missing but yea I recommend you read it urself it's pretty good like you'll force urself to finish it in one sitting like I did just now yk
