Synopsis:

Cinderella navigates a life of quiet resilience within the opulent yet isolating halls of her father's estate. Following his departure for overseas business, she uncovers a stark contrast to the familial warmth she'd anticipated; her stepmother and stepsisters present a cold indifference masked by demanding expectations. While burdened with domestic labor, Cinderella maintains a gentle disposition, finding solace in companionship with animals and an intriguing connection with a young man named Charles, who appears linked to the royal family of Emerald Castle. The narrative unfolds as a nuanced reimagining of a familiar tale, exploring themes of familial obligation, inner strength, and the subtle power of kindness amidst adversity. The story offers a contemplative atmosphere, focusing on character interactions and emotional landscapes rather than grand spectacle.
