Alternative Title: Wait, What Do You Mean I Got Reincarnated as a Heroine in Another World?! — And Now I Have to Save the Kingdom as a Healer Prodigy and Magician While Pretending to Be a Noble Lady Even Though I Was a Shut-In Doctor Back Home. DISCLAIMER: This story contains themes involving quantum mechanics, CGDCT, borderline (or maybe not) Girl’s Love, and plot-relevant mature scenes that are safe for general audiences. Follow Kairi Izumi—a quiet, eccentric, and somewhat conspicuous girl— who never felt like anything but an NPC in a story. Working behind the scenes, unnoticed by others had always been part of her daily life, dwelling with medicine and toxins. So, it's not surprising that she wasn't tad attractive according to others. That is, until one day... that guy, he confessed to me. Wait a minute—doesn't that mean I'm a heroine now? Hang on, how is that even possible? Me? Heroine? No way! I’m just a girl from a small village who likes to help others. I don’t particularly stand out, and compared to the other girls, I’m not even that attractive. And so, a question lingers, driving the unfolding of this dumbfounding narrative forward: Wait, what do you mean I got reincarnated to be a heroine? That's weird because usually a heroine is not strong let alone smart - they are usually dumb, cute and pretty. Definitely not me. I mean, how is that possible? Me? Heroine? No way!
