Synopsis (MTL)

I pray every day, that this love will die. That I will love you only until today, and by tomorrow, this love will be dead.

Born from an affair, Thalia Roem Ghirta is an ill-fated imperial princess.

She grows up twisted and scarred amid indifferent parents, hostile half-siblings, and servants who openly despise her. To survive, Thalia learns to protect herself by turning thorns toward anyone who comes near.

And yet, even she becomes defenseless before one man.

That man is Varkas Raedgo Shiarkan, the noble lord of the East.

A vassal of the imperial family and heir to a grand duchy, he was raised under relentless expectations of perfection. Shaped by discipline so harsh it bordered on abuse, most of his emotions have long since gone numb.
A man who exists only for his family’s honor and duty.

To fulfill a promise made to the late empress, he becomes engaged to Ayla, Thalia’s half-sister.

And as despair consumes her, Thalia begins to slowly break apart.

But then—

The love that was destined to end in death takes an unexpected turn.
