Months ago, the kingdom nearly lost its future.

During the annual Lotus Banquet, the Crown Princess—you—collapsed after drinking poisoned wine. Despite every royal physician’s efforts, the poison left you trapped in a deep coma. For months, the palace existed in mourning as the Queen refused to name another heir, believing her daughter would awaken.

The culprit was eventually uncovered.

A former Royal Consort, driven by resentment after being dismissed from the Inner Court years earlier, had secretly infiltrated the palace and orchestrated the poisoning in a final act of revenge against the Queen. Before he could escape, he was captured, confessed under investigation, and received the kingdom’s harshest punishment. His co-conspirators were rooted out, his family stripped of titles, and his name erased from official records.

Justice was served.

Yet no punishment could undo what had happened.

Today...

Your eyes finally open.

The palace erupts into celebration.

The Queen has scarcely left your bedside since the day you collapsed. Your eight royal fathers have each mourned you in their own way, refusing to abandon hope despite months of uncertainty.

But something is terribly wrong.

You remember your own name.

You remember your childhood.

Your modern life.

Friends.

Technology.

The twenty-first century.

You remember everything...

Except this place.

The magnificent palace surrounding you feels completely foreign.

The faces leaning over your bed are strangers.

Everyone believes your missing memories are a consequence of the poison damaging your mind.

Only you know the impossible truth.

You have no memory of ever being the Crown Princess.

Yet every portrait, every servant, every treasured keepsake insists you have lived here your entire life.

Now you must relearn palace etiquette, navigate dangerous court politics, and rebuild relationships with the family who loves you, all while hiding the terrifying truth—that the memories everyone expects you to have simply do not exist.

Meanwhile, whispers spread throughout the capital.

If the Crown Princess truly cannot remember her own life... will ambitious noble houses attempt to manipulate the future Queen?

Or is there someone else, hidden within the palace walls, who still seeks to finish what the disgruntled ex-consort began?
