Gabriel Theodore Matthias Nocturnia is the fifth child of an extramarital relationship between the King and one of the Queen's special maids. Due to his tainted status, Gabriel lived in isolation and was separated from his mother. The Queen, who despised him, relentlessly tormented his mother. Gabriel himself was despised by the King and his children. They turned Gabriel into a palace courtesan to serve the royal guests. Gabriel's life became more miserable when his mother's life came to a sudden end due to the increasing cruelty of the Queen. Gabriel was also accused of killing a royal guest. When the guillotine punishment was imposed on him, Gabriel felt relieved because his suffering would finally end. But little did he know, the princes and princesses had maliciously replaced the sharp guillotine blade with a dull one. The guillotine punishment left Gabriel disable. The King eventually sent him to an isolated area and gave him a bowl of meat soup before he would face his second punishment. Before the punishment was carried out again, Gabriel made sure the guillotine blade was truly sharp, and once he was convinced, the punishment was executed. However, the King uttered his final words that drove Gabriel insane. "Do you like the taste of your mother's meat soup?" The King smiled horrifyingly, and Gabriel was successfully beheaded. As his head rolled, the King saw Gabriel's wide-open eyes filled with extraordinary rage and vengeance. In his dark afterlife, God asked him, "Gabriel, what is your wish? I will make it come true." When a bright light dispelled the darkness, Gabriel found himself in the embrace of his mother, who was trying to shield him from the Queen's wrath. Thanks to a mysterious blessing from God, Gabriel had been allowed to return to the past. What would Gabriel do now? Would he seek revenge? Was that his answer to God's question?
