"I never wanted my father's crown, nor did I ask for his multi-billion-dollar inheritance. But I never expected that refusing it would cost me my life."
Jayden Lee is the arrogant, cynical, and rebellious billionaire heir to the prestigious fashion empire, Dear Cherie. Consumed by bitterness toward his toxic stepmother and an estranged father, Jayden lives a wild playboy lifestyle in modern-day Seoul. His only escape is an obsessive, silent crush on a 500-year-old museum portrait of an overlooked queen from the Joseon Dynasty.
But betrayal strikes fast. Following a vicious family confrontation, Jayden's sports car is violently sabotaged, plunging him into the freezing abyss of the Han River.
Instead of waking up in a modern hospital room, Jayden opens his eyes wrapped in crimson royal silk, surrounded by weeping court servants. Through a terrifying twist of cosmic fate, his modern soul has traveled back to the 16th century, trapped inside the body of King Yi Heon-a cruel, unloved monarch entangled in dark palace affairs and murderous conspiracies.
Before Jayden can even find his smartphone, the heavy palace doors burst open. Standing before him is Queen Han Chae-Won, the exact living breathing copy of his museum crush. As she throws her arms around him in a tearful embrace, Jayden realizes he is no longer just fighting for a corporate inheritance. He is playing a dangerous game of survival, royal treason, and forbidden love.
Can a playboy from the future rewrite the tragic history of a forgotten queen, or will the shadows of the Joseon throne swallow him whole?
A gripping tale of time-travel, royal betrayal, and a love that defies centuries. Welcome to the court of The King from Tomorrow.
