The Promise I Mistook for Love - Episode 1

After six years at his side, Clarissa arrives at the palace as Julian claims the throne and they marry. At coronation preparations, court officials announce she will be made noble consort after she recovers—an offer far below the empress title Julian once promised. Julian reassures her he won't betray her and will grant the consort title after the ceremony, but Clarissa, who risked her life supporting him, erupts, declaring she doesn't want to be a noble consort. She demands leave and insists she never wants to see Julian again, leaving their marriage and the promised coronation in doubt.
