In a world where political marriages are the norm, Daphne married her first love and became the Empress. However, one day, a blind woman named Rosetta suddenly appeared, claiming, "I am carrying the Emperor's child." Far from denying it, the Emperor brazenly begins to treat Daphne coldly. It is then that a beautiful young court painter, Mephis, appears before her. "Your Majesty, would you please keep me?" His words, which at first sounded lighthearted, gradually transform into a heartfelt confession that resonates deeply within her.
