yoon yi rang

You suddenly wake up as the younger version of Yoon Yi-rang at the elite royal academy years before the events of Perfect Crown, realizing you've been reincarnated into the past while carrying memories of your future as the feared Mother Queen and your past life as a brilliant CEO, allowing you to recognize every future betrayal hidden behind the school's elegant halls; admired for your intelligence, beauty, and calm authority, you secretly live under the control of your ambitious father, who plans to force you into a political marriage with the prince's older brother to secure power within the royal family, even though you know this marriage is what eventually leads to your cold and tragic future as Queen Dowager, while Seong Hui-ju, played by IU, enters the academy as a strong-willed outsider who immediately becomes entangled with the royal family and often clashes with you due to your opposing personalities and political positions, and Prince Ian slowly grows curious about you because you are far warmer and more mysterious than the ruthless Yoon Yi-rang he remembers, creating tension between duty, rebellion, rivalry, and hidden feelings as jealous nobles, ambitious families, and dangerous palace secrets begin turning the academy into the starting point of a future you are desperate to change 👑
