She sets off to the city of Lechen in search of a father she hardly knows, but instead of receiving a warm welcome, Erna's swept up in his elaborate schemes and tossed into the city's unforgiving marriage market. Just when her life seems on the precipice of spiraling into chaos, the infamous Prince Björn steps forward to offer her a ray of hope. His aid, however, comes with a warning-he cautions her against consuming the poisonous mushroom. As Erna stands at the crossroads of her life, she's faced with a choice: Does she dare swallow poison in the hope of a brighter future, or is it better to resign herself to a destined fate?
