Synopsis

Q. Describe how you felt when your trusted Dad wasn’t an extra.
A. W, what… Give me back my role as ‘Passing Imperial Citizen 1’
During the war 365 days a year!
A crazy worldview where there is no day without worry!
It was a blessing to be born as an extra here.
“Princess~ Wake up~♡”
“Ah, my pretty daughter♡♡.”
Besides, living a simple life in a mountain village with a nice and sweet dad (James Brown, 27, Extra) is the best!
—and that’s what I thought.
“Look! The person who just appeared is my father! A symbol of commoner men, brown hair and brown eyes!”
“….”
“He’s just the Passing Imperial Citizen 1 even if you look at it, and he’s a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter and working hard to make a living.”
The Knight Commander only looked at me indifferently.
“—Excuse me, sir? Over there? Whoa!”
At that moment, The Knight Commander was startled and drew his sword. I looked back instinctively.
‘…Daddy?’
Blue energy was rising above my daddy’s wooden poker. I rubbed my eyes and watched it again.
‘W, what’s that?’
At the next moment. Daddy’s brown hair and brown eyes, which were symbols of Extra 1— gradually changed.
“Oh my.”
Anyone can see, ‘I’m the main character!’ with his dazzling silver hair and sparkling blue eyes!
‘E, excuse me? Isn’t he a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter—’
—James? Is this real?
“Give me my daughter, you bastard.”

Editor's Note

💡 A "True" Father-Daughter Bond. Unlike many rofan (romance fantasy) novels where the father dotes on the daughter because she resembles a dead wife, Enoch’s love for Lilith is purely paternal. He raised her as a single father in a mountain village for seven years, and his devotion remains the emotional anchor of the story even after their "royal" status is revealed.

The "Extra" Trap. The protagonist, Lilith, enters the world wanting to be "Imperial Citizen 1," but her father is actually the tragic protagonist of the original novel—a war hero destined for a path of blood and rebellion. The story is a race to change that tragic fate.

Grimdark Undercurrents. Beneath the fluffy exterior lies a harsh caste system. People are born with "Power" (Noble status + military enlistment) or "No Power" (Commoners/Servants). The Emperor is a clever, proactive antagonist who treats people as tools for war, making the political stakes feel genuinely dangerous.

The Mother Dilemma. Refreshingly, the mother is alive, but she is far from a saint. Her betrayal—selling out Lilith and Enoch to protect her son from enlistment—adds a layer of complex family drama rarely seen in "doting dad" stories.

336 Chapters of heartwarming fluff, tragic backstories, and a dad who will go from "Village Woodcutter" to "God of War" the moment his daughter is threatened. Completed.

Experience Curve

Mountain Village Life (Ch. 1–20): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The transition from a peaceful life to the Knight Commander discovering Enoch’s true identity is executed with great humor and tension.

Duke’s Mansion & Childcare (Ch. 21–150): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. This is the height of the "found family" dynamics. Oscar (the "motherly" friend) and Enoch’s overprotectiveness create a very high fluff-to-plot ratio.

The Emperor’s War (Ch. 151–280): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Drama. The stakes shift to the "chess match" against the Emperor. Readers report "ugly-crying" for hours during the high-tragedy arcs.

The End & Side Stories (Ch. 281–336): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Mixed Bag. While the main story concludes beautifully, some readers found the side stories' "fix-it" approach to past tragedies polarizing, feeling it cheapened the emotional weight of the earlier chapters.

WebNovelDB Review

8 /10
A top-tier childcare novel that balances "everyone loves the MC" tropes with a legitimate, high-stakes political conflict and a truly selfless father-daughter relationship.

Emotional Impact: 10/10. Be prepared with tissues. The sacrifices Enoch and Oscar make for Lilith are portrayed with raw sincerity.

The Villain: 9/10. The Emperor is not a cartoonish bad guy; he is a strategic, clever enemy whose reasoning makes the "small wars" within the plot highly unpredictable.

World-Building: 7/10. While it uses familiar rofan tropes (magic, aristocracy, war), the specific focus on "Power" as a burden that forces you into eternal military service adds a unique, somber flavor.

Romance: 6.5/10. The chemistry between Lilith and Cheshire is cute, but it becomes a point of contention for some readers due to the early age at which they begin a romantic relationship (14 and 18).

The Good: Enoch is arguably one of the best "fictional dads" in the genre. He is openly affectionate, cries at his daughter's baby teeth, and is willing to burn the empire down for her.

The Bad: Lilith can be a bit "too nice" at times, bordering on self-sacrificial. Additionally, the ending of the side stories is a "love it or hate it" scenario regarding how it handles the timeline.

The Archetype: The Hidden Sovereign. A father-daughter duo trying to play "Extras" in a world that keeps trying to cast them as "Tragic Heroes."

Final Verdict: Must-read if you love Who Made Me a Princess or The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter. It’s a perfect mix of heartwarming fluff and high-stakes tragedy.

Themes: Unconditional parental love, defying a "tragic" original plot, classism, and the weight of being "the Main Character."
