Yu-Jeong Seo is a hardworking tattooist who loves nothing more than to eat good food while reading her favorite novel during her downtime. One particular day, she is doing exactly that when she suddenly hears a strange voice coming from outside her apartment. She steps out to see what’s going on but loses her footing and falls down a flight of stairs. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself in a whole new world and in the body of someone completely different. As it turns out, a fairy, who was dimension traveling, was responsible for Yu-Jeong’s accident and revived her as a botanical sorcerer out of guilt. Yu-Jeong adapts quickly and names herself “Sylvia Arbor” to fit in and avoid any suspicion. But soon, “Sylvia” learns that she had in fact been revived in the world of the novel she was reading right before she died; and in this novel, the main character, Felix, suffers from ageusia as a result of years of abuse by his stepmother. Will Sylvia’s love of food and ability to use magic be Felix’s salvation...?
