Synopsis: The Youngest Has Many Secrets

[Original Novel](https://page.kakao.com/content/62646168) **Original Webtoon:** [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/68042237), [Daum](https://webtoon.kakao.com/content/%EB%A7%89%EB%82%B4%EA%B0%80-%EB%AD%94%EA%B0%88-%EB%A7%8E%EC%9D%B4-%EC%88%A8%EA%B9%80/4704) A child-soldier mage regains memories of a past life on the battlefield—and realizes this world is a novel with a doomed, apocalyptic ending. To avert it, the plan is simple: stick to the story’s “hero” and keep him alive. After some twists, the narrator sneaks into the duke’s household as the adopted youngest. One problem (actually three): the hero hates mages, the narrator is a deserter, and a messy mix-up has them living under a swapped-gender disguise. Now it’s constant tiptoeing to avoid being found out while plotting how to protect the hero… and somehow there’s always time for strawberry cake. A cozy, chaos-filled tale of a secretive “maknae” with a lot to hide.
