Royal Secret: I'm a Princess!
After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother.
She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though.
But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well.
She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure.
But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire.
Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in!

[EXCERPT 1]
βNeoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, youβll live as Prince Neroβs proxy.β
[The hell is this psycho saying?]
Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. βFather, what do you mean by that?β
βFrom now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,β the emperor explained. βUntil heβs strong enough to protect himself, youβll pose as your twin brother.β
Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. βBut Father. If I take my brotherβs position, then wouldnβt the assassins mistake me for him andβ¦β
She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do.
[This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!]
βYouβre no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, youβll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,β Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. βTry to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?β
Neoma was too shocked to react.
[Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!]

[EXCERPT 2]
βIβm so sick of your tyrannical a*s,β Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. βI wonβt forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!β
βWhat will you do about it then?β Nikolai asked with a smirk. βKill me?β
βYes! Iβll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!β
βLanguage,β he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. βUsing vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.β
βIβm a princess!β
Upon yelling those words, the royal princessβs eye color changed from ash-gray to red.
[This is getting serious.]
βStop it, Nero,β Nikolai told her sternly. βIf you keep that up, the royal knights will come andββ
βIβm not Nero!β Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. βIn the name of the moon, Iβll punish you!β
[What�]
And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.
