In her past life, Princess Sophia Zorvyn was hopelessly in love with Alex Hale. But the general only had eyes for her younger half-sister Grace. On her wedding day, she was publicly humiliated and forced to travel north for a political marriage. She endured great suffering and took her own life. Alex later learned the full truth, but by then, he had already fallen in battle. Reborn, Sophia cut all ties with her past feelings. She took her sister's place and went north. Alex, however, discovered after the wedding that his bride was not the woman he had wanted. He traveled across the desert to beg for her forgiveness — only to be met with her cold refusal. Meanwhile, Cyrus Lynn, the Jarl of the Northern Marches, admired her courage and resilience, and protected her with unwavering devotion. In the end, Sophia stayed in the north and found a peaceful life with Cyrus.
