The Crown Princess Scandal

Hwayeong’s Hilarious Struggle to Flunk Out of the Crown Princess Selection!

Hwayeong’s peaceful life is turned upside down when her younger sister, inspired by rumors about the Crown Prince’s less-than-stellar appearance, submits her name for the Crown Princess selection without her consent.

For Hwayeong, who loathes the very idea of stifling palace life, it’s a nightmare come to life.

So, she comes up with a cunning plan:
To delay her arrival at the imperial palace no matter what!

However, her carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when, out of nowhere, a galloping horse nearly tramples her.

Furious at the reckless rider, she takes off after him through the bustling streets, her anger fueling every step.

It’s only when she skids to a stop, heart pounding, that she looks up and realizes she’s standing before the towering gates of the very place she swore she would never go.

“I won’t let this slide. Just you wait!”

Confronting the rider later that evening, Hwayeong demands an apology, but instead of showing remorse, he arrogantly dismisses her complaint.

Enraged, she impulsively hurls her shoe at his back in an act of defiance.

Days later...

Her frustration turns to horror when she learns the man’s true identity—he’s none other than the Crown Prince himself, the very focus of the competition she’s been dragged into.

Though initially panicked, Hwayeong refuses to give up.

Her new goal? Become such a nuisance to the Crown Prince that he’ll have no choice but to kick her out and send her back home!

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince has no intention of playing along with her schemes...

“You’ll stay here for six full months—completely, properly, and absolutely trapped!”

Now caught in a battle of wills, Hwayeong must decide: Can she outsmart the Crown Prince and escape the confines of the palace, or will her rebellion only tighten the chains around her?
