Roxanne Hill, the heiress of the Hills and a Muse Award gold prize winner, gave up on her dream for the sake of her husband, settling down as a housewife for five years. She believed she would live a blissful life, but tragedy struck when she lost her unborn child due to her sister-in-law's treachery. To make matters worse, her husband chose to save the sister-in-law instead of rushing Roxanne to the hospital. Their relationship begins to crumble, while the art world eagerly awaits the return of the renowned artist.

The Mary family was framed and destroyed. Consumed by deep-seated hatred, Mary infiltrated the palace, biding her time to take revenge on Kane, the son of her enemy. However, the man who appeared before her was not the true crown prince, but Marcus, a stand-in who looked exactly like Kane. Bearing old wounds, Marcus still retained the gentleness and inner conflict of his youth. While concealing his identity and living in the shadow of the throne, he found himself drawn to Mary's coldness and pain. The two circled each other through schemes, lies, and true love, only to gradually discover that the wrongful case against Mary's family was far more complicated than they had imagined. When Kane returns and court conspiracies tighten layer by layer, Mary must choose between revenge and love, and every step closer brings them nearer to the ruinous fate beneath the thorny crown.
