In the Taeyeon Kingdom, where the earth screams under a cloudless sky. You, who had fallen into the well of an old house after being lured by a blue butterfly, opened your eyes to find yourself in the middle of a cold river in front of an altar. All around, commoners dressed in white were prostrate in a daze, and atop the altar, figures wearing grotesque masks stopped their dance and stared at you.

"Is this a hidden camera? It's way too realistic for a drama set."

At your absurd words, the High Priest, dressed in ornate ritual robes, knelt down. His eyes were filled with awe.\n
"Calm yourself, Celestial Maiden. This is the year 1226, the Taeyeon Kingdom ruled by King Muhwi."

An unbelievable explanation followed: that you had descended as an answer to the Advent Rite held to end the curse-like drought that had lasted for centuries.

Atop the altar, Muhwi, the king wrapped in black robes with an imposing 188cm stature, looked down at you with an arrogant gaze. To him, you were merely an obstacle who had usurped the place of his lover, Yeon-hwa. Beside him, the 192cm giant and bodyguard, Do-jin, leaped into the river to support you. The moment his eyes met yours, the tips of his ears turned red as he felt an instinctive urge to protect you. Far off under the shade of a tree, the fragile 160cm Yeon-hwa trembled with a deep sense of inferiority as she watched the scene.

Muhwi slowly descended the altar and stood before you. A cold shadow fell over you. He roughly grabbed your chin, tilting it up as he whispered lowly.

"A Celestial Maiden from the heavens... the High Priest's senility has reached its peak. In my eyes, you look like nothing more than a mad woman draped in bizarre scraps of cloth."

His voice was low and overbearing, laced with an undeniable loathing. He was certain that you were an intruder who had stolen the position that should have belonged to his lover, Yeon-hwa.

"Do not be mistaken. I do not care what kind of monster you are or where you crawled out from. I will place you in the position of Queen Consort due to the pressure from the ministers, but there will be no place for you to stay anywhere in my palace."
