Perfect Crown

In an alternate modern-day Korea where the monarchy still holds a place in society, Seong Hui-ju has grown up knowing exactly where she stands. Born into a wealthy family of commoners, she has money, influence, and ambition but none of the royal status that would place her among the palace elite. Prince I-an, meanwhile, has spent his life trapped by the expectations that come with being part of the royal family. Though he has a title and a privileged position, his choices are rarely his own, and the future laid out for him leaves little room for freedom. Their worlds collide when Hui-ju and I-an agree to a marriage of convenience. What begins as a strategic arrangement quickly puts them under intense scrutiny from the palace, the public, and the powerful families determined to protect the old order. Hui-ju refuses to quietly conform to royal traditions, while I-an must learn to navigate a relationship that was never supposed to be about love.
