The Crownless Queen

History professor Jung Gwinam expected her retirement day to be a quiet milestone, but it instead became the end of her life as she knew it. While pushing her daughter out of the path of an oncoming bus, she was struck and killed. However, rather than fading into nothingness, she awakens in an entirely unfamiliar reality—trapped in a different era, a foreign world, and a completely new body. She soon realizes she has been reincarnated as Delia, the protagonist of a novel written by her own daughter. Thrust into the lowest rungs of this fictional society, Gwinam must navigate life as a peasant and claw her way up the social hierarchy if she hopes to survive. The journey is far from straightforward, as the fantasy realm operates under its own rules, complete with glaring historical inaccuracies that challenge her academic sensibilities. Armed with decades of scholarly expertise, she must determine whether her vast knowledge can compensate for the world's inconsistencies and ultimately forge a path back to her true life.
