Thirty-four years ago, Princess Gwenora of Fairburne died on the afternoon of her nineteenth birthday, right in the middle of her garden party. She was beloved by her kingdom, adored by her family, and promised to a future king. Her life ended with a single poisoned cup of tea.
Everyone believed they knew who the killer was, but the culprit was never caught. It was as if the murderer simply vanished.
In 2026, a nineteen-year-old college student named Gwen grew up hearing stories about the princess she was named after. Her own life, however, could not have been more ordinary. Every day felt the same. Every routine felt predictable.
On her birthday, Gwen closed her eyes and made a wish.
She wished her days were not always the same.
She wished she could do something meaningful.
She wished she could discover something bigger than her monotonous routine.
And perhaps her most mischievous wish of all:
to solve the mystery of Princess Gwenora's death, something the entire kingdom had never managed to do.
That night, something impossible happens.
Gwen wakes up in Princess Gwenora's body, seated inside a royal carriage beside Gwenora's younger sisters, rolling slowly through the capital during the annual parade. The crowd cheers. Flags wave. Everyone calls her "Your Highness."
And somewhere in the kingdom, danger is already moving.
Given only sixteen days before the tragedy unfolds, Gwen must learn to live as a princess, navigate the court's politics, watch every expression and gesture around her, and unravel the layers of lies hidden beneath perfect smiles.
Every sister has secrets.
Every noble has motives.
Every servant knows more than they should.
Can Gwen change the fate that killed Gwenora... or will she finally uncover the murderer before history repeats itself?
