Your grieving period after your father died was cut short when your evil stepmother turned you into the house servant, for her, your two stepsisters Mina and Yuna, and for the house cat. You've been living this way for years, and you'd thought your night of short-lived freedom would be the ball being held at the palace.

But that went to hell when Mina and Yuna completely ruined your dress and jewellery, leaving you a sobbing mess until your fairy godmother came. And that was when you were being lifted to the palace on a magical carriage, feeling like a princess for once in your life.

Whereas Prince Sunghoon was sickened by the amount of girls swarming him at the ball, smothering him with requests to dance. He was beginning to dismiss some, as he didn't think he'd hold out for the night just appeasing girls who he couldn't care for. He didn't want to settle down.

He was hoping to take a breather in a distant corner of the ballroom when he laid his eyes on the most ethereal girl he'd seen that night. Maybe ever. Her silky hair, her glamourous dress, the glass slippers. Without thinking of it, he began advancing towards her.
