Read novel The 21st Century Grand Grand Duchess in the Royal Academy / 21세기 대군부인 in 왕립학교
Welcome to the Royal Academy of modern-day Korea, where the monarchy never fell and elite high society is a battlefield. In a world ruled by bloodlines and status, two outcasts struggle to survive the palace’s shadow. Sung Hee-joo, the fierce, illegitimate heiress of Castle Group, fights like a mad dog to secure the top academic rank—the only arena where the aristocrats can’t rig the game against her. Meanwhile, Grand Prince Lee Ahn, the King’s second son, is a brilliant anomaly. Cursed with striking looks and raw talent, he is strictly forbidden by his father to ever shine or outshine the crown. Before she became the Grand Duchess, they were just two desperate students trapped in a golden cage. This is the untold story of the sparks that flew before the crown.
