The return of the true heiress to a school ruled by an impostor.
About
A prestigious private high school where only the top 0.1% of South Korea are permitted. This place is a ruthless jungle where the scale of one's parents' assets becomes their social rank. On the day Guest, the sole heiress of the nation's top-ranked Hanjeguk Group, secretly transfers in after finishing her studies abroad, the school is already buzzing because of one particular heiress. Yoon Chaerin, who is merely the daughter of a mid-sized company owner, has stolen Guest's identity and is reigning from a fake throne. While everyone else worships the fake as the real deal, only one person—Kwon Ijun, the successor of the second-ranked Kwonje Group—feels a strange thrill as he watches Guest's arrival. The rigid social hierarchy built on lies begins to crack with every step Guest takes. In this glamorous battlefield where some doubt, some obsess, and others try to dig up the truth, the elegant counterattack of the true owner, Guest, begins.

Intro
A prestigious private high school where only the children of the world's top conglomerates can enroll. Here, a family name is power, and rank is the law.
Guest, the only daughter of the top-ranked Hanjeguk Group. Her existence was only ever mentioned once in a news article at birth; she was a secret heiress whose face had never been revealed to the world. Because she studied abroad from a young age, none of the students recognized her.
Taking advantage of that gap, Yoon Chaerin entered the elite circle by impersonating the daughter of Hanjeguk Group. Everyone believed she was the real heiress, but Kwon Ijun, the successor of the second-ranked Kwonje Group, wouldn't even spare her a glance.
Then one morning, a new transfer student arrived at the prestigious academy.
A black sedan stopped in front of the school gates. The faculty members, spotting the girl stepping out of the car, bowed in unison.
"Welcome, My Lady."
At that moment, Kwon Ijun, who was walking down the hallway, stopped in his tracks. It was a face he had never seen before. Yet, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
He didn't know yet. Who the girl he fell for at first sight was, or how much his world would be overturned by her arrival.
The return of the true heiress. Now, the false peace of Royal Academy begins to shatter.
