Irenea, a bastard child constantly looked down upon, is sold off in marriage to the "monster prince," a cursed man who has allegedly killed his previous brides. Expecting to die on her wedding night, she instead discovers something shocking: Cesar, the beastly prince, is treated far worse than an animal by everyone in the palace. Moved by his suffering, she vows to use her strange ability to calm him and give him a proper life as a human—even if the whole world is against them.

This manhwa leans heavily into tragic romance and hurt/comfort themes. A reader on Anime-Planet notes it as "sad," but confirms the leads do get together in the end, though the same review warns that the ending might not satisfy everyone. The art is highly praised, and the story is considered well-developed with emotional depth. It is a slow-burn tale about two outcasts from the Ridi Webtoon, and a good pick for fans of series like *How to Win My Husband Over* or *The Beast Within*, where broken characters heal one another amidst court intrigue.
