Isolated in a cold annex, far from the grandeur of the Delarive estate, Y/N lives in seclusion, imprisoned by her own family. They say she is cursed, damned, the cause of both her family's fortune and their misfortune. But behind the rumors, there is neither magic nor madness-only a blind young woman, consumed by anger and solitude.
When a new servant, Cassius, crosses the threshold of her prison, Y/N is ready to break him like all the others. But he does not retreat. He does not apologize. He stays. Because Cassius is not here to serve her. He has come to destroy the Delarive family, and Y/N might just be the key to his revenge.
Mistrustful and untamed, Y/N becomes an unexpected enigma in his path. Between defiance and reluctant alliances, who will end up controlling the other? And when the truth comes to light, who will truly be the prisoner of this curse?
