Crimson Princess

Bari’s life was fated to end as the lowly maidservant of Gaan, a cherished young lady of Seosun Fortress on the border of the Daeyun Kingdom.

“Quickly! An imperial decree has come from the capital!”

But when Gaan is summoned to the imperial capital by virtue of being a princess of Daeyun, Bari is forced to follow as Gaan’s maidservant and body double for a safe journey to the capital, and her life is completely overturned…!

“Bandits!”

“Run!”

“Protect Her Highness the Princess!”

After everyone in the party is slaughtered in a merciless, inexplicable ambush, Bari is rescued by an envoy from the Jegang Kingdom.

When she wakes, she has already become Daeyun’s princess and the sole survivor.

‘Just wait. I will definitely use our Bari as a stepping stone to avenge our Gaan.’

Unable to resist Gajin, Gaan’s older brother, Bari enters the imperial palace as the chess piece of revenge and a fake princess.

Yet the abandoned princess’s position, unloved by anyone, is truly a terrifying one.

“In our country, red clothing is a symbol of the guilty. Are you saying you intend to treat me, the princess, like a criminal?”

The one who offers Bari comfort and trust is ‘Yong,’ who visits the palace with the envoy while hiding his identity.

“In our country, red is considered the most noble and auspicious color. Blood is life—what could be more precious than that?”

With pale skin, a sharp nose, and striking foreign-looking eyes tinged with blue, Yong smiles softly while concealing his cold nature.

Placed in the cruel power struggles of the imperial palace, Bari resolves not to live as someone else’s chess piece anymore, and to stand above everyone else with the authority and power of a true royal…!

“As expected, a maidservant’s small brain can’t help it. This is practically like waiting for orders like a dog, isn’t it?”

‘Gajin, I’ll start using you properly first. From now on!’
