In a modern constitutional monarchy where tradition still holds sharp edges, Huiju stands at the center of a court divided between loyalty and quiet rebellion. Once a "low-born" commoner, her rise to the throne has never been fully accepted by those who believe bloodline defines legitimacy. Even as the kingdom moves forward, the palace remains a battlefield of influence, pride, and hidden agendas. As whispers of opposition grow louder, powerful figures within the court begin plotting to remove her from the throne by any means necessary-political pressure, sabotage, and carefully concealed threats that slip through the palace's guarded walls. Yet not all stand against her. Loyal nobles, trusted allies, and steadfast protectors refuse to let the crown be shaken by prejudice or ambition. As Huiju navigates pregnancy, motherhood, and the constant threat of unseen enemies, she must survive not only the dangers within the palace walls-but also the political forces determined to erase her existence from the royal line. In a world where loyalty is tested and power is inherited through blood and silence, the question is no longer whether she belongs... but how long she can endure those who want her gone..

This novel takes place after the ending of Perfect Crown and follows Lee Wan and Seong Huiju as they navigate the challenges of being first-time parents.

"You Never Saw Me" From the very beginning, I think I always knew. There was something in the way your eyes drifted when she walked into the room- something in the way your smile found her so effortlessly. I felt it. That quiet, aching pull in my chest. The kind that warns you... you're going to lose something you never even had. The words "I love you" danced on the edge of my lips for so long. So many times, I almost said it. So many nights, I clutched my chest, wondering if maybe-just maybe-you felt it too. But deep down, I already knew the truth. You were never mine to begin with. Even with everything- Money. Status. Fame. Everything people envy. None of it mattered to you. Because still... Still, you chose her. Not me. Not the one who stood by your side all this time, who memorized your favorite songs, who stayed up just to make sure you got home safe. I watched you fall for her. Piece by piece, you gave yourself away. And I-I was just a shadow lingering in the corners of your life, hoping you'd finally turn around and see me. "Please, Woo Seok-ah," I whisper now, my voice cracking beneath the weight of everything I've buried. "I love you. I really... love you." But you'll never say it back, will you? You'll never look at me the way you look at her. It hurts. God, it hurts in ways I can't even explain. I thought if I waited long enough, if I loved you hard enough, if I gave everything I had... You'd finally choose me. But all I got in return was silence. And now, as tears slip down my cheeks, I find myself asking the same question over and over again: "Why can't you see how much I'm hurting?" But you never look back. You never do.
