A royal deal… that changed everything.
About
In an alternate vision of twenty-first-century South Korea where the monarchy remains a central pillar of national identity, the social divide between the ultra-wealthy corporate elite and the secluded royal family has never been more rigid. The story follows a formidable chaebol heiress who possesses immense business acumen and vast financial influence but remains perpetually blocked from entering the highest circles of aristocratic society. Her path unexpectedly collides with a solitary prince who, despite inheriting a title of immense prestige, finds himself trapped within the suffocating, gilded cage of palace life, stripped of personal agency and true connection. Bound by the cold pragmatism of a contract marriage designed to serve their own hidden agendas, the two embark on a high-stakes partnership that forces them to navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue and corporate warfare. As they maintain the facade of a royal union, the lines between duty and genuine affection begin to blur, challenging the very hierarchies that defined their separate lives. Together, they must navigate a landscape of public scrutiny and private ambition, risking everything to forge a path that defies their predetermined fates and proves that the most powerful alliances are those built on the foundations of an unlikely, class-defying romance.
