Once upon a time, in the serene kingdom of to Seonhwa, bordered by lush mountains and golden rivers, lived a beautiful and gifted crown princess named kim Maeve . With cascading raven hair, emerald eyes that shimmered with wisdom, and a gentle yet proud demeanor, she was the only child of the late King kim Cheoljong and Queen Cheorin of the neighboring kingdom of pheonix as Qian .
After a tragic illness took both her parents during a diplomatic visit, kim Maeve—still just thirteen—was sent to live with her maternal grandparents in the kingdom of pheonix as Qian until she was of age to rule. Her arrival was met with mixed hearts. While her mother's elder sister, Lady Jiang, and her great-uncle, Lord Zhou Shang, opened their arms
the orphaned princess, her mother's two younger sisters—Lady Liang and Lady Wei zifu—burned with envy. For years, they had lived in the shadow of Queen Cheorin's grace and power, and now, her daughter stood to inherit both the throne and the people's love.
Liang and Wei Zifu wasted no time. They treated Kim Maeve as a burden, disguising cruelty with smiles. They restricted her food, mocked her dresses, made her sleep in cold, unkempt rooms, and tried to break her spirit. But they never succeeded. Why? Because Kim Maeve was not only born noble in title—but in soul.
Her cousins, the children of Liang and Wei Zifu, loved her dearly. They admired her strength, her kindness, and the way she never returned cruelty with bitterness. They would sneak her sweets, help her hide books, and sometimes join her in secret dance practices in the garden at night. Kim Maeve, though young, was disciplined—she excelled in her studies, mastering history, languages, and diplomacy. She played the harp, danced with grace that could enchant any court, and painted like the gods had kissed her hands. Always dressed in simple yet elegant garments, she looked every bit the queen she was destined to be.
Lady Jiang and Lord Zhou Shang saw the spark in Kim Maeve and began training her quietly. Lady Jiang taught her courtly manners, political strategy, and the secrets of leadership; Lord Zhou Shang taught her fencing, horseback riding, and how to see through lies. "You will be Queen," Lady Jiang often whispered. "And no one will steal what is yours."
But Liang and Wei Zifu had a plan. When Kim Maeve turned sixteen, they conspired to marry her off to a foreign duke—an old, cruel man with vast lands but no loyalty to her kingdom. They forged letters, manipulated the court, and tried to convince the elders that Kim Maeve was unfit to rule and would be better off wed.
It almost worked—until Lord Zhou Shang spoke.
In the royal court, standing proud in a flowing crimson gown embroidered with her family's crest, she read aloud her mother's last will, which Lady Jiang had hidden safely for years. It named Kim Maeve as heir, warned against early marriage, and gave Lady Jiang and Lord Zhou Shang guardianship. The court was stunned.
But Kim Maeve did not stop there. With eloquence and fire, she recounted the neglect and cruelty she had endured—without spite, only truth. The nobles turned their backs on Liang and Wei Zifu. Their schemes unraveled in days.
Years passed.
Kim Maeve ascended the throne at eighteen. She became a wise and just queen, beloved by the people and feared by enemies. She never took revenge with blood or cruelty. Instead, she banished Liang and Wei Zifu from court and stripped them of titles, letting them live out their lives in quiet shame.
But their children—Kim Maeve welcomed them warmly, giving them positions of trust, for they had loved her when their mothers did not.
In the end, Queen Kim Maeve return the Land of serene kingdom of to Seonhwa, it just not to ruled with vengeance—but with purpose, beauty, and strength. She turned pain into wisdom, hate into clarity, and loneliness into legacy.
And so, the orphaned crown princess became the queen her mother always dreamed she'd be.
