Adapted From A ManhwaChildhood Friends RelationshipComedyDeathEmpress Supporting CharacterFamilyFight For The ThroneFriendshipPalaceRomanceRoyalty

The Empress, now in her early thirties, remains unmarried. Following the passing of the first heir to the throne, the royal family is on the lookout for a new successor. They unexpectedly discover a young man who is actually the son of the late prince and a woman who had left the Palace to hide her pregnancy. This young man is named Lee Hoo, although his friends refer to him as Kang Hoo. Lee Hoo works as a delivery boy for a Chinese restaurant and is renowned for his ability to deliver orders within seven minutes. Growing up more like a rebellious youth than a royal, his mannerisms and speech starkly contrast with those of aristocrats. Although he never envisioned living in the Palace, he suddenly finds himself surrounded by its splendor, striving to prove that he is worthy of the title of Successor to the throne. Along his journey, he discovers that he must navigate not only the challenges of royal training but also the complexities of love and social standing, all while vying for the role he has been unexpectedly thrust into.
