SYNOPSIS: After receiving a grim health diagnosis, a sheltered noble lady Valentina Zrinski decides to spend the last months of her life fulfilling her lifelong dream: proving that magic exists and becoming a real magician. With her only clue about anything magic-related being an obscure illusionist named Florian that she had seen as a child, she decides to find them by any means possible in search for answers. When she finally meets the one she's idolized since childhood, his duality and mysterious demeanor only leaves her wanting more. As both obsession and hatred grow between them, she has no time to spare for the unwanted romantic feelings muddling her mind and threatening to ruin everything she worked hard for.
