Crown by fate

In a world reserved for the elite, 17-year-old Emery Song finds herself thrust into a glittering realm of power and secrets when she moves into the mansion of Korea's wealthiest family. Raised by a mute single mother who works as a domestic helper, Emery has always kept her head down, dreaming of a quiet life and scholarship to university.

But everything changes when she enrolls in the prestigious Imperial Academy, a school for heirs to multibillion-dollar conglomerates. There, she collides—literally—with Kairo Min, heir to the largest fashion empire in Asia. Cold, arrogant, yet strangely intuitive, Kairo claims he doesn’t believe in love. That is, until Emery defies every rule in his golden world.

In a place where status dictates survival, Emery must navigate jealousy, hatred, betrayal—and an unexpected romance.
