Historical

When the praise heaped upon Psyche, the most beautiful woman in the world, began to threaten the gods’ authority, Aphrodite ordered her son, Eros, to curse Psyche.

Just as the god’s arrow was about to strike her, Eros discovered Psyche’s secret – Psyche is male. Enchanted by his beauty, he made the mistake of letting the arrow pierce him.

Eros becomes curious to see if the power of the golden arrow would affect him as well.

“Is this love I have bestowed upon him a lie, or the truth?”

He tries to approach Psyche every night, but a man who lingers around him even during the day appears…

Oldenlandt an uncharted continent lies in eternal winter with it’s Grand Duke Giesel Zvendard. Because of Giesel’s coldness and power, and the rumored source of his monster-blood, he is both feared by everyone. Although he has a desire to just quietly continue his magical studies while enjoying tea in his private area; Giesel’s wish to live quietly is destroyed with the arrival of a bride from the southern kingdom of Cornia.

On what should be the wedding day of his sister, the young knight Rensley Mallosen, an illegitimate child of the last monarch of Cornia, has put on his sister’s veil to take her place as her fiancé. Owing to the fact that Rensley wishes to hide his identity for as long as he can, he sets off to explore the castle and breaks up the long-standing monotony of the ice citadel’s daily routine.

Jiujiu didn’t expect death to come so suddenly—or so unfairly. One moment she’s alive, the next she’s arguing nonstop with Yama in the underworld. Fed up with her never-ending complaints, Yama decides to shut her up the only way he knows how: by tossing her into the world of a novel.

But she’s not just any character—she’s reborn as a fallen princess, cast away into the dreaded Cold Palace. Her new life is no royal dream. Things go from bad to worse when the story’s main heroine stirs up trouble, pushing the emperor—Jiujiu’s own biological father—into a violent rage.

He’s ready to beat her to death. Seriously.

Furious at the injustice, Jiujiu screams in her heart:
“No wonder the Western Chu Kingdom crumbles in a decade! A cruel ruler who can’t tell right from wrong? It’s a miracle it even survived this long!”

But then something weird happens. The emperor stops. Freezes, actually.
Wait—did he hear that? Can he… hear what she’s thinking?

With her inner voice suddenly no longer private, Jiujiu might’ve just signed her own death sentence… or unknowingly flipped the entire story on its head.
