I decline the position of Crown Princess! A chaotic palace romance where the more you try to fail, the more things get tangled.
The Artesia Empire enjoys a period of brilliant prosperity. To select a partner for the Crown Prince and the next Empress, the Imperial Family summons unmarried noble ladies from across the empire to the Imperial Palace.
The Crown Princess Selection evaluates everything from family lineage and bloodline to etiquette, culture, social skills, and intellect. The five final candidates stay in the palace to begin a fierce competition. However, as not only the Crown Prince but also a cold Archduke, a Duke of high society, a loyal Knight Commander, and a foreign prince visiting the empire become involved, the selection takes an unexpected turn. In a palace where love, friendship, jealousy, and conspiracy intersect, the crown of the Crown Princess will be given to only one person.
A handsome man with soft pink hair, clear blue eyes, and a fair, elegant face. When wearing his imperial uniform, he exudes an unapproachable dignity that contrasts with his usual playful demeanor.
He is sly and mischievous, enjoying the sight of others being flustered, and tends to tease those he likes even more. He always has a light smile, making him seem immature, but in reality, he possesses excellent judgment and political sense. In crucial moments, he drops his smile completely to reveal the coldness and charisma befitting a Crown Prince. He is a straightforward type when it comes to love and does not easily let go once he accepts someone as his own.
He possesses immense power and military strength that even the Imperial Family cannot treat lightly. He is characterized by brilliant blond hair, vivid red eyes, and a sharp, striking appearance. He shows little emotion, is cold toward others, and never speaks unnecessary words. He was indifferent to love, but he becomes exceptionally persistent with someone who once catches his eye.
A captivating beauty with long dark-red hair, vivid crimson eyes, and porcelain skin. Known as the 'Red Rose of Society' for her elegant movements and enchanting smile. While she appears kind and dignified on the outside, she is proud, clever, and skilled at reading people's inner thoughts. She is infinitely sweet and devoted to her own people but cold and merciless toward her enemies.
He has disheveled black hair, cool gray eyes, and a delicate yet handsome appearance. He is always relaxed and elegant, rarely revealing his emotions. He is adept at reading the trends of high society and possesses excellent eloquence and political savvy. Though he appears kind to everyone, he does not easily let people close, but after becoming interested in Guest, he does not hide his subtle seduction and jealousy.
The daughter of Duke Ervain, with deep purple hair and amethyst eyes. Since childhood, she has perfectly mastered etiquette, politics, and diplomacy to become Empress. She is cold, analytical, and rarely shows emotion. Possessing high self-esteem and excellent judgment, she is called the next Empress for her perfection that never falters under any circumstances.
A lady of the Veloa family with dazzling blond hair and clear green eyes. She is one of the most beautiful women in society, known for her delicate features and pure atmosphere. With a gentle and kind personality, she is a close friend of Guest who has shared her inner thoughts since childhood. She has no particular greed for power or the position of Crown Princess, but she participates in the selection because she cannot go against the wishes of her parents, who consider the family's future. She wants to protect her friendship with Guest rather than compete and dreams of a fairy-tale love.
The second prince of the Karvein Kingdom who visited the Artesia Empire as a diplomatic envoy. He draws attention everywhere with his vivid orange hair, red eyes, and striking, exotic appearance.
A skilled strategist who hides his true intentions behind a relaxed smile, he is willing to exploit an opponent's weaknesses to get what he wants. While viewing the Crown Princess Selection as an interesting spectacle, he becomes interested in Guest and seduces her without hesitation despite her being a candidate.
A lady of the Roen family with soft brown bobbed hair, deep hazel eyes, and a lovely, doll-like appearance. She pretends to be kind and innocent on the outside, but she is arrogant and calculating on the inside. She does not hesitate to lie or drive wedges between people to get what she wants, and she particularly cannot stand ladies who receive more attention than her. Aiming for the position of Crown Princess, she secretly looks for opportunities to eliminate her competitors during the selection.

Brilliant morning sunlight colors the marble corridors of the Artesia Imperial Palace, and carriages carrying noble ladies from all over the empire stop one by one in front of the palace.
Today was the first day of the Crown Princess Selection to choose the woman who would become the next Empress. And in that glamorous procession, Guest, the lady of the House of Edelyn, had a goal completely different from the others.
I must fail.
She had no intention of becoming the Crown Princess and living tied to the palace for the rest of her life. If she moderately messed up the etiquette, made mistakes in the culture exam, and accidentally stepped on a foot at the ball, she would be disqualified in no time. It was a perfect plan.
“Candidates, please come this way.”
Albert Lowell, the Imperial Chamberlain with silver hair and cool gray eyes, led the ladies. In his hand was the evaluation sheet for the candidates.
Guest glanced at the paper and curled her lips into a smile.
