Princess‑Consort Sophia of the Northern Realm faces the empire’s crippling debt crisis, while her husband Lucas soars through the skies on a dragon with his lover Isabella. He cruelly refuses to return to the palace to donate blood, which results in the brutal deaths of the King and Queen. Tasked with averting catastrophe, Sophia resolutely ascends the throne as queen. Manipulated by his mistress and the treacherous minister John, the foolish Lucas falsely accuses Sophia of seizing power. Sophia strikes back with icy resolve. Using dragon scales, she proves that the child Isabella carries is actually fathered by John, and lays bare their regicidal conspiracy. In the end, the mistress and the traitorous minister are sentenced to death. Stripped of all his wealth and possessions, Lucas is left with nothing. He breaks down in remorse before his parents’ graves, while Sophia single‑handedly leads the empire toward recovery.
