Plot

Katrina, the illegitimate daughter of a count and a maid, grows up mistreated by her stepmother and stepsister after her mother's death. When her stepsister is ordered to travel to the northern frontier to be punished for her behavior. She is to be placed under the supervision of a prince rumored to be cruel, so Katrina is sent in her place instead.

Arriving in the remote northern territory, Katrina expects harsh treatment, but she instead discovers that the prince is quiet and emotionally distant rather than cruel, and he treats her with unexpected kindness and respect. As Katrina begins living in his northern residence, she gradually adjusts to her new life and becomes closer to the prince while learning about his past and the reason for his cold reputation.
