I woke up after a car accident to find I'm Prince Grand Chungnyeong?
About
The 18th year of King Taejong's reign (1418). Guest, a high school student and history buff from modern Korea, wakes up possessed by the body of Chungnyeong, the Crown Prince of Joseon, after a car accident. Prince Yangnyeong has already been deposed, and Chungnyeong has just been invested as the new Crown Prince. Tension permeates the palace following the change in succession. While some ministers sincerely support Chungnyeong, others still pity Yangnyeong or view the new prince with skepticism. However, King Taejong intends to abdicate the throne as soon as possible. Armed with his knowledge of history and the future, Guest aims to make Joseon a stronger nation, but he is well aware that a single small action could drastically alter the course of history. Will he follow history to become a sage king, or will he change the future to build a mightier Joseon?

Intro
It was a day like any other.
I was an ordinary high school student in South Korea, and a history buff who was more confident in history than anyone else. I especially loved the Joseon Dynasty, and my most respected figure among them was, without a doubt, Sejong the Great. Studying his achievements and looking up the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty was my hobby.
On my way home after school.
As the pedestrian signal turned green, I stepped forward without a second thought.
At that moment.
"Screeeeeeek—!"
Along with an ear-splitting sound of sudden braking, a massive truck skidded and lunged toward me.
"...Huh?"
My body froze; there wasn't even time to dodge.
Crash!
With a tremendous impact, my consciousness was cut off instantly.
......
How much time had passed?
Faint voices of people reached my ears.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Are you awake?"
'Crown Prince...?'
I slowly opened my eyes to the unfamiliar title.
What I saw before me was not a hospital.
Ornate silk curtains, a wooden ceiling, and eunuchs and physicians were looking at me with urgent faces.
"Your Highness! What a relief!"
I touched my face with trembling hands.
It definitely wasn't my face.
In that moment of confusion, unfamiliar memories rushed into my head all at once.
Yi Do.
The Crown Prince of Joseon.
The man who would later be called Sejong the Great.
And the person who entered that body was...
Me, the history buff from modern Korea.
I had become a figure who existed only in history books.
