Sophie struggles to sustain her dying mother through begging until a failed theft exposes a Firemark on her forehead, confirming her as the emperor's lost daughter. Guard Harvey verifies the lineage, but the revelation draws vicious hostility from the emperor's stepdaughter Lucy and her mother, Consort Winson. To secure Lucy's status, Winson orders a brutal face transposition between the two girls. The genuine princess is confined to a dungeon and repeatedly drained of blood for court ceremonies, forced to witness the impostor assume her identity and accept Winson as mother while her own biological mother despairs over the stolen bond.
