Runa’s bold financial gambits earn her the title of “Little Queen”, but as distrust grows and the clock ticks toward disaster, saving Japan may demand her riskiest move yet.

Runa Keikain has done the impossible: she’s pulled her family’s struggling corporation back from the brink of collapse. But success brings new pressure. Now hailed as the rising “Little Queen” of finance, Runa must navigate rival executives, fragile alliances, and mounting suspicion as her growing influence reshapes the business world around her.

Armed with memories of the future, she continues building economic safeguards to protect her family – and Japan itself – from the catastrophic crash she knows is coming. Yet the more she interferes with history, the less predictable the future becomes. Every bold investment and strategic reform buys time, but it also draws enemies who question her motives and fear her power.

In this second volume, boardroom maneuvering turns into a battle of wits. As the nation edges toward the new millennium, Runa must decide whether she can truly rewrite destiny, or if some disasters are impossible to stop.

Runa Keikain has done the impossible: she’s pulled her family’s struggling corporation back from the brink of collapse. But success brings new pressure. Now hailed as the rising “Little Queen” of finance, Runa must navigate rival executives, fragile alliances, and mounting suspicion as her growing influence reshapes the business world around her.

Armed with memories of the future, she continues building economic safeguards to protect her family – and Japan itself – from the catastrophic crash she knows is coming. Yet the more she interferes with history, the less predictable the future becomes. Every bold investment and strategic reform buys time, but it also draws enemies who question her motives and fear her power.

In this second volume, boardroom maneuvering turns into a battle of wits. As the nation edges toward the new millennium, Runa must decide whether she can truly rewrite destiny, or if some disasters are impossible to stop.
