When a lady forces a lowborn woman into a dog cage and has her killed to cover up a blemish before the consort selection, her daughter Yasmin begs for mercy but watches her mother die. Yasmin collapses and later wakes to medicine, vowing to kill Elsie — now crowned Queen — for the murder. A master stops her from charging the palace, warning it would be suicide, and instead offers to train her to charm men and win the King's favor. Yasmin accepts, becoming the master's student and setting a patient, risky plan of revenge in motion.
