In his relentless journey to power, a ruthless emperor eliminated all who stood in his way, seeking to crown himself with blood and iron. However, his heart harbored a single point of affection: his betrothed, whom he deeply loved. Despite his feelings, she saw him as nothing more than a monster due to his cruelties. Against the odds, they were united in matrimony and welcomed a daughter into the world. But, tormented by her husband's true nature, the bride disappeared, taking the child with her. The empress ended up confined in the highest tower of the palace, where only the emperor's gaze could reach her.

Removed from the games of power and palace intrigues, the daughter, now 16 years old and endowed with stunning beauty, finds herself living in an orphanage, oblivious to her imperial heritage. Fate, however, weaves its whims, and one day, driven by an unknown call, the emperor arrives at the orphanage. There, he encounters his daughter, now a young woman, with neither of them aware of the blood tie they share.
