In the final episode of The Crown of Blood's second season, Emperor Caien Helisis carries out the execution of Eloise Wayana, the grand duchess of the North, after uncovering her true nature as a villainess. Fans of the popular web novel eagerly anticipate the next chapter, but tragedy strikes when Kim Dakyung is struck by a truck on her way home. Miraculously, Dakyung wakes up to find herself transported back in time to the start of the novel, inhabiting the very body of the grand duchess whose fate she now knows all too well. With determined resolve to alter the course of her own destiny and survive until season three, Dakyung sets out to manipulate events in her favor, even if it means winning over a young Emperor Caien and keeping him on her side, no matter the cost.
