Despite enduring unimaginable tragedy and being subjected to the cruelty of her stepfamily, Ella strives to maintain her courage and grace. Her resilience in the face of relentless adversity is nothing short of inspiring.

On the other side of the kingdom, Prince Wil is known for his dreamy disposition. He values peace above all else and often questions the necessity of royal traditions and rituals.

His unconventional views create tension within the palace walls.
