In the enchanting backdrop of 19th-century Europe, a story inspired by the timeless myth of Cupid and Psyche unfolds. Meet Evelyn, a captivating young enchantress whose radiant beauty captures the hearts of all who gaze upon her. But amidst the opulence of aristocratic society, a divine twist of fate is about to change everything.

Evelyn's charm invokes the envy of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who, fearing her mortal admirers' devotion will surpass her own, hatches a plan. She commands her mischievous son, Eros, the mischievous god of love, to make Evelyn fall in love with a suitor she deems unfit for the enchantress.

Yet, Cupid, ever rebellious and curious, defies his mother's orders. As he takes aim at Evelyn with his golden arrow intending to make her fall for a less worthy man, a startling sight meets his eyes. The moment he lays eyes on Evelyn's face, he is so taken aback by her beauty that he accidentally shoots himself in the foot with the golden arrow meant for her.

Now, with an arrow of love piercing his own heart, Cupid experiences an unexpected turn of events. He finds himself irresistibly drawn to Evelyn, enchanted by her innocence, grace, and kindness. From that moment, his sadistic tendencies to cause pain to others are softened, and he can no longer bring himself to harm the enchanting mortal.

Determined to protect Evelyn from any potential harm, Cupid hides his true identity and assumes the guise of a charismatic and enigmatic gentleman. He frequents the glittering balls and lavish soirées of high society, ensuring that he stays close to her, even as rumors about the mysterious gentleman start circulating.

As Cupid and Evelyn spend more time together, their connection deepens, and they find solace in each other's company. Yet, unbeknownst to Evelyn, the shadows of deceit and jealousy threaten to engulf their happiness. Aphrodite, enraged by Cupid's defiance, seeks to reclaim her son and resume her original plan.
