Katie had played the fool to catch the wise, deliberately appearing weak while harboring an air of mystery. She had originally lived a simple life with her mother in a small village. However, when Nadine forcibly took over the village land, an unexpected disaster struck. The village was engulfed in flames and destroyed, and Katie’s mother lost her life saving her. To avoid becoming a young girl raised to be a bride, Katie disfigured herself. Despite these hardships, she did not lose her will to live and maintained a positive outlook amidst all the challenges. She ventured into the city and began working at the company owned by Nadine. Seizing the opportunity, she grew close to Ryland.

Together, they grew closer and discovered evidence of the village’s destruction, revealing the misdeeds of Nadine’s family. They stood by each other through thick and thin and ultimately achieved a happy life together.
