The two families were on the verge of a marriage alliance, and she seized the opportunity to return. But she soon discovered that both families were riddled with schemes and intrigue, and there were villains coveting the power of the Hidden Order and the wealth of the Forrester family.

Story Guide
Episode 1
Elena, High Priestess of the Hidden Order, completes her final trial, only to learn her soul is incomplete. She must return to the Sterling and Forrester families—her biological parents—to reclaim the missing fragments. When she learns the two families are arranging a marriage alliance and are searching for her, she seizes the moment to go. At the Sterling estate, she's led to the side gate because the main gate is "broken." Moments later, that gate collapses, and she's immediately blamed. It seems this family's welcome was never meant to be warm.
Episode 2
Inside the Sterling house, Natalie, the adopted daughter, begs her parents for love, and they reassure her—they've already planned a warning for the "country girl." When the gate collapses, Derek goes out to confront Elena, furious and protective of Natalie. Yet every attempt to humiliate her backfires: the servants can't explain the mess, and the young master's aggression leaves him surrounded by trash and curses. The household begins to whisper that this blind newcomer might know dark magic. Elena, calm and unbothered, greets her "family" at last.
Episode 3
The truth comes out: Elena wasn't brought home to be compensated. She was brought back to replace Natalie and marry a dying man from the Forrester family. Her parents paint it as a gift—countless riches, the happiest bride. Elena coolly asks why Natalie can't go instead. When they offer her $100 million as compensation, she refuses. She names her price: $10 billion, a fortune that would make her a maid and a widow. Her parents are stunned, but the deal hangs in the air.
Episode 4
Elena's demand of $10 billion shocks the Sterlings—it's three-quarters of their entire fortune. Natalie pleads family loyalty, but Elena reminds them she was never truly family. A devout follower begs the High Priestess for a miracle and years of life, offering company shares in return. Meanwhile, Elena stands firm: no money, no deal. Natalie offers to marry into the Forrester family herself, but can't bear to leave her parents. Cornered, the Sterlings agree to Elena's terms. She also learns she must master bridal etiquette before the wedding. "Take me to my room," she says.
Episode 5
Derek demands to know if his father really agreed to hand over three-quarters of the family fortune. The answer is no—the money will go to Derek and Natalie, and whether Elena ever sees a cent is entirely in their hands. Elena is shown to a room reeking of mildew; the other guest rooms are stuffed with Natalie's belongings. Natalie offers her own room with sweetness, then claims Elena hit her. Derek storms in and orders Elena to apologize. But Elena asks Natalie to answer honestly: did I hit you?
Episode 6
Natalie forgives Elena without answering, so Elena hits her for real—proving the first accusation was a lie. She quotes scripture about turning the other cheek, and Derek is left speechless. As Natalie doubles over in pain, Elena reveals the truth: a piece of her soul resides inside Natalie, clouding the Sterlings' judgment. She takes it back, restoring her own sight. For the first time, Elena sees the world with her own eyes—completely different from what she perceived through magic. "Hello, world," she whispers.
Episode 7
Margaret, the Forrester matriarch, is furious—the Sterling family sent a "country bumpkin" for the marriage alliance, an insult to the Forrester name. She orders the car to the Sterling estate. Meanwhile, Natalie barges into Elena's room and catches her with restored sight. She threatens to expose Elena's "act," but Elena coolly asks whether the Forresters would mind their matriarch's future wife being treated unfairly. At dinner, Elena is told she must learn bridal etiquette and take oil painting lessons. Natalie vows Elena will pay for every humiliation.
Episode 8
The oil painting professor mocks Elena, assuming a country girl knows nothing about art. Elena fires back, questioning whether forty years of copying Rembrandt counts as understanding. Challenged to replicate "The Birth of Venus," she refuses—replication is boring—and instead paints something extraordinary. The professor is stunned, admitting even the Royal Academy's finest professors couldn't match her mastery. Natalie expects Elena to be publicly humiliated when the painting is shown downstairs, but the professor insists this masterpiece must be seen by the matriarch herself. The Sterlings have no idea what a genius their daughter truly is.
Elena walked into a family that wanted her gone and a marriage meant to bury her—but she's the one holding all the cards. Start watching to see how far the High Priestess will go.
