The Reluctant Royal

The Reluctant Royal



Yoon Seo, a fiercely independent bartender with dreams of opening her own speakeasy, finds herself tangled in a time-bending curse after a fateful visit to a museum. A prank involving a tarnished goblet spirals into chaos when she wakes up as a spoiled princess in the Goryeo Dynasty. Meanwhile, the princess, equally horrified, finds herself navigating the bewildering pace of modern Seoul.



As Yoon Seo struggles with palace intrigue, ancient customs, and a stubbornly charming prince, the princess discovers freedom, self-reliance, and modern conveniences (though she insists on being treated like royalty). Together, they must uncover the goblet's mysterious origins and perform a synchronized ritual across time to reverse the curse.



Brimming with humor, romance, and heartfelt lessons on courage and self-discovery, The Reluctant Royal is a whirlwind adventure where two women from different worlds learn what it truly means to rule their destinies.
