Lelia, the invincible great princess of the Roman Empire, suffered a shattered divine core in battle—falling overnight from a revered royal daughter to a "cursed one forsaken by the gods." Her stepmother and stepsister conspired against her, her fiancé openly slept with her stepsister on their wedding night, and her own father reduced her to a slave, forcing her to endure a humiliating "purification ritual" before a public crowd. At the moment of her deepest despair, a beggar disguised as Poseidon lifted her from the abyss with a single drop of his divine blood. They repaired her divine core through a physical bond and sealed their pact with a soul-bound contract. Empowered by the sea god's might, Lelia regained her sight and her power surged—vowing to make all who had trampled her kneel and pay. When she returned to the royal city as the Ice Queen, taming beasts, crushing armies, and tearing off her stepsister's mask, the entire empire trembled before her frost throne. And the man who willingly sacrificed his divine soul for her walked alongside her with absolute devotion, step by step, toward the true throne of an empress.
