Once upon a time, there was a princess who'd lived the role of the kingdom's beloved doll. Everyone would always love watching her dance inside the castelet to an endless melody until their never-ending hearts' content. One day, a wandering handsome prince found her. Her breathtaking beauty caught the prince's eye. The charming prince quickly fell with the empire's most beautiful girl, and the princess fell in love with the first person who didn't try to touch the strings attached to her small body. He, who is the hero she had been waiting for all her life, vowed that he would save her from the cage. As the naive princess believes him with all her heart. Like a damsel in distress, she hopelessly waited for her beloved hero to save her inside the lovely cage. And yet... He never came back. Until the doll princess finally had enough with the strings controlling her worn body. For the very first time, the pretty Marionette desperately tries to cut the strings gripping her beaten body. She ran away, trying to escape from the thorny path to which she belonged, and it led her to a peculiar empire that didn't have a sun, moon, or even stars. There, she met a good knight who kneeled in front of her and gave her his oath. A strong knight who has those brown eyes, close to black, is always filled with gentleness whenever he looks at her while handing her a promise that he will protect her with honesty. But should she really play the role he wants her to play? And there's a mysterious psycho who everyone sees as a villain king. He, who always wears a sinister smirk while giving a hypnotist to everyone with his enchanted amethyst eyes. But no matter how beautiful those jeweled violet eyes are, They do not seem to have any shine. So she let her light shine on them without being aware of the beautiful consequences that awaited her. But how about her? Who will awaken her consciousness with a magical kiss? How... Could she end the prologue of her tale?

Aarav Oberoi never made mistakes. At least, that's what he told himself. The sleek glass walls of Oberoi Enterprises gleamed under the harsh office lights, but inside the penthouse suite, the air felt thick - with tension, suspicion, and something darker. A confidential project, years in the making, had just been compromised. Millions lost. Trust shattered. And all fingers pointed to one person. Ruhi Sharma. His assistant. The one who had been with him through late nights and endless board meetings. The one he never thought could betray him. But the files had leaked. And in Aarav's eyes, betrayal was betrayal - no matter who wore the mask. He didn't pause to ask questions. He didn't look for proof. Because in the ruthless game of business, weakness was a luxury he couldn't afford. His decision was swift, brutal. He ruined her. Her career. Her reputation. Her future. Now, as the city lights flickered below his office window, Aarav felt a strange weight - not of triumph, but of something far heavier. Regret. Because the real traitor was still out there. And the woman he destroyed was innocent.

Did he misunderstand me for someone else? "How dare you push me? Do you even know who I am?" He asked, angrily. "Don't give me that shit of 'Do you know who I am?' I know who you are, but how dare you kiss me without my permission?" I spat back. My statement fueled his anger, and now he was extremely furious. He had his hand balled into a fist. He slowly came closer to me and stopped just inches from me. "You lousy mouse. You are nothing but a slut. Do you hear me? You are.a.slut!" he whispered into my ear from my back, holding both of my hands tightly. I could no longer take it, as I was beyond furious at this point.
