Short filmTranscript
00:02A stripped man, trapped in a golden cage inside the princess's bedchamber.
00:07A lady-in-waiting, forced honey mixed with spring hunger drugs down his throat.
00:11As the potion spread through his body, he let out a ragged breath.
00:16The princess shattered both his legs.
00:19She locked his wrists and ankles to the velvet bedposts with iron chains.
00:24Just as he was drowning in despair, I woke up.
00:27Inside Princess Eliana's body, looking at this beautiful broken man, I couldn't bear it.
00:33So I unlatched the chains.
00:35Three years later, cold iron cups closed around my wrists.
00:39You shouldn't have.
00:41He pinned me down and tore open my dress.
00:44Let me go, princess.
00:46No.
00:47The first time I saw Felix went, he looked half-dead.
00:49His eyes were open and didn't follow.
00:50But God, his face was breathtakingly beautiful.
00:53I froze.
00:54So, what new torment have you devised for me today?
00:57Your Highness?
00:58His pure hatred struck me.
01:00And then, memories flooded in.
01:01I was now Princess Eliana, the third daughter of the royal house.
01:06This was a dark fantasy novel.
01:08And after I died, I woke up inside it.
01:12Felix Wynn was the tragic second male lead.
01:14In the book, I'm the monster who breaks him.
01:15Shatters his proud legs.
01:16Drugs him and uses him as a royal painting.
01:18That is, then the heroine shows up.
01:20My sweet, perfect younger sister.
01:22Princess Serafina.
01:23The king's lost daughter.
01:25She saves Felix from the living hell.
01:27And me?
01:27The third princess gets the worst ending.
01:32Felix helps Serafina take the throne.
01:34Then he has my hands and feet bound.
01:36Throws me into a brothel.
01:38Lets a pack of beggars abuse me.
01:39I lose my mind completely.
01:41And when I die, my body is dumped in a mass grave.
01:47Thinking about that bloody ending, I frowned.
01:50The damage was already done.
01:51But the story had just come up.
01:53I ordered his mates to catch the royal painting.
01:54Go and get it!
01:56Then I crouched by his chair and touched his legs.
01:59Felix looked at me without a word.
02:00When I lifted his robe, his eyes filled with disgust.
02:03Still in the mood, princess?
02:08Even with me looking like this?
02:10I didn't snap back.
02:10I just took the thick herbal salve and slowly massaged it into his deep scars.
02:15What are you doing?
02:15I spoke to the royal physician.
02:17Your legs can heal.
02:19I dipped a cloth into the herbs.
02:21Daily salve.
02:22Hot herbal soaks.
02:23Massage.
02:24Bone setting.
02:25Give it a hundred days and you'll walk again.
02:28Hope flashed in his eyes.
02:29Then he died.
02:30It makes no difference.
02:30Walking or crippled, I'm still your prisoner.
02:34Just a useless pawn.
02:40You have a brilliant mind, Felix.
02:42You're destined to rule the king's council.
02:45Don't count yourself out just yet.
02:47He actually sneered at me.
02:48The monster who broke him was now playing the position.
02:51It was completely absurd.
02:52I did not explain.
02:53Can you get onto the bed?
02:55His mouth tilted in mockery.
02:57Then he raced on his arms and dropped himself up inch by inch.
03:00At last, he lay flat on the bed.
03:02I'm going to do something.
03:03Do it fast.
03:04I'm tired.
03:05I took a breath and sat beside him.
03:06He still looked untouchable.
03:08This may hurt.
03:09Just breathe.
03:11Then I placed my hands on his legs.
03:13I checked the brake first.
03:14The way the bone had healed improperly.
03:16What are you doing to me?
03:17Resetting your bones.
03:20I pressed the hot herbal cloth over the joint.
03:23Then I worked the stiff muscles loose.
03:24With the herbs, the salve, and daily massage, you'll recover.
03:28I broke you.
03:30So starting today, I am going to fix you.
03:34Every single day, until you walk again.
03:37So this is your new game, princess.
03:44When they broke his legs, he did not panic.
03:47When they drugged him and stripped him, he did not panic.
03:50Felix was never afraid of pain.
03:52He was afraid of kindness.
03:53Before I got trapped in this book, I was an orthopedic surgeon.
03:56Healing people was all I ever wanted.
03:58When I read this story, he was the one I pitied most.
04:01First, illness wasted his best years.
04:04Then his ruined legs destroyed his pride.
04:07He pushed away the true heroine, Princess Serafina.
04:10And when she chose Wesley Shaw instead, Felix fell apart.
04:16He became the ruthless, bloodthirsty royal regent.
04:21But at the start of the story, he was not like that.
04:24Breathtakingly handsome, fiercely proud, the book said.
04:26But by the end, it said, the new Queen Serafina hands him a cup of poisoned wine.
04:30He knows exactly what it is, but he loves her too much to make her choose.
04:33So he drinks it and dies with a smile.
04:34The rest of his life was nothing but loss.
04:36Thank God.
04:37It was still the beginning.
04:38I threw the handkerchief back to him.
04:40I said, once your legs heal, pack your things.
04:44Get out of my palace.
04:47I moved Felix to a side chamber so he could heal.
04:50Palace gossip spread fast.
04:54When I heard that, I could not sit still.
04:57So I went to see him, but his room?
04:59No fire in the hearth.
05:00It was as cold as an ice house.
05:03Why are you here?
05:04I walked over and touched his hand.
05:07Ice cold.
05:08Why is there no fire?
05:09Once I lost your favor, princess, I became nothing but trash to them.
05:14Your legs can't take the cold.
05:16You were the king's advisor.
05:17You are still an honored guest in my house.
05:20Before, before I ruined you.
05:23Your highness, I need coal for the fire.
05:26And I need ink, pens, and paper.
05:30I will send them.
05:32What's the punishment for the maids?
05:36That depends on you, princess.
05:38Thinking about that bloody ending.
05:40He got blood on his hands, destroyed his own reputation.
05:43It was all to put Serafina on the throne.
05:45All for that innocent girl who smiled at him and pulled him out of hell.
05:48I was tossing and turning.
05:51It had been nearly a hundred days.
05:53Based on my medical expertise, his nerves should be fully repaired.
05:57So why was he still in a wheelchair?
06:03I kept my eyes shut and pretended to sleep.
06:06Someone stopped beside my bed.
06:09Oh god.
06:10Oh god.
06:11Oh god.
06:12His hand.
06:14Oh my.
06:15A familiar salem scent hit my nose.
06:19It was Felix.
06:23Wait.
06:23He was walking?
06:25He was sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at me in the dark.
06:28My heart started pounding.
06:30I gripped the silk sheets, terrified to breathe.
06:32Why stop pretending now, princess?
06:34His body pressed over mine, radiating absolute heat.
06:40Felix, what in god's name are you doing?
06:43Sneaking into my bed?
06:45That's treason.
06:46You gain nothing by killing me.
06:48How could this be Felix?
06:50In the original story, he despised my touch to scrub with skin raw to get my scent off him.
06:55Then I understood why he had come.
06:57He didn't believe I was just fixing him.
07:00He thought my kindness was a trap.
07:02My heart sank.
07:04He would never drop his guard around me.
07:06Only Serafina, the sweet, naive girl, could do that.
07:08To him, I would always be the cruel, calculating princess.
07:15So your legs are healed.
07:17You healed my legs, princess.
07:19So what do you want from me?
07:21What do I want?
07:22Yes.
07:23He pulled me into his arms and toyed with a strand of my hair.
07:27I want nothing.
07:30If your legs are healed, then leave tomorrow.
07:34In this palace, everyone wanted something.
07:37Pleasure, money, influence, power.
07:40Felix, if you ever need help again, you can still come to me.
07:44So the princess truly wants to get rid of me.
07:46Then I'll go.
07:47After he left, it already felt like a dream.
07:51A sweet one.
07:56I told myself to stay away from Felix when wanting him would ruin me.
08:04Maybe that was for the best.
08:06Felix and I were never meant for the same path.
08:10The first time I saw Serafina, she was standing up for him.
08:14The palace servants knew exactly how to bow to power and trample on the weak.
08:18I clenched my fist and started toward them.
08:21But someone moved faster.
08:23A whip cracked across their faces.
08:25You shameless little rats.
08:27You don't get to speak his name that way.
08:29The girl stood tall.
08:31Fierce.
08:32Radiant.
08:34Then her eyes found mine.
08:35And what is this?
08:36Power taking what it wants.
08:38She seemed to light up the whole place.
08:40Even Felix looked at her differently.
08:43The moment Serafina appeared, Felix's eyes followed her.
08:46Only this time, things were different.
08:49So I turned and walked away without a word.
08:52Now he could love her without shame.
08:54Now nothing stood in his way.
08:57In the original story, Felix had been left broken.
09:01Now he was home.
09:04Felix soon became Serafina's tutor.
09:07Every day, she brought her father broth and begged him to appoint Felix.
09:12I heard more gossip.
09:13Felix's leg injury had worsened again.
09:16Serafina had stayed by his bedside day and night.
09:19I frowned.
09:20His legs had gotten worse again.
09:22That night, I took a lantern.
09:24I crossed the palace grounds.
09:27The chamber was dark and quiet.
09:35What are you doing here, princess?
09:38I came to see you.
09:39Like before, I peeled back the bandage the royal physician had wrapped around the wound.
09:47Why come here in the middle of the night?
09:49I told you.
09:50I'm going to heal your legs.
09:54By candlelight, I cleaned his wound with crushed herbs and spoke more gently.
09:59I heard you've been showing Serafina around the palace every day.
10:02That's likely why the wound opened again.
10:05Your legs need rest.
10:09You can't keep following Serafina around like this.
10:12Felix only looked at me.
10:14He said nothing.
10:16Will you come again, princess?
10:18In three days.
10:20I'll come change the dressing.
10:22Before I even reached his rooms.
10:24Two shadows leaned close together against the windowpane.
10:27I waited there until she was gone.
10:29Then I went in by moonlight.
10:31Felix sat at his desk.
10:33I did not tell him to lie down.
10:35I knelt beside his desk and changed the dressing there.
10:37When I finished, I looked up at him.
10:39Felix, I won't be coming anymore.
10:43I've done what I could to make up for the past.
10:45But now you have Serafina.
10:47With her backing you, you don't need me anymore.
10:50You sound jealous of Princess Serafina.
10:53Yes, I am.
10:55You have everything, princess.
10:57What could you possibly be jealous of, princess?
11:00Lately, I can't read you at all.
11:02That temper.
11:03That cruelty.
11:05Was all of it just a mask?
11:07And then he kissed me.
11:13When the kiss ended, I was still catching my breath against his chest.
11:18Felix, when you love someone, don't hand them all of you.
11:21Keep a little for yourself.
11:26After that night, I did not see Felix for a long time.
11:29News of him kept spreading through the palace anyway.
11:32Felix had been made a royal chamberlain.
11:34The king had even taken his advice and lowered taxes.
11:37I was truly happy for him.
11:41Now I trained under the royal physician.
11:44I sorted my herbs with a quiet smile.
11:47Then the rumors started.
11:49People said I was jealous of Serafina.
11:51Said I feared she would fight me for the throne.
11:53Even my father tested me.
11:55I offered him the herbal tonic I had made myself.
11:58And told him plainly that I wanted no throne.
12:01I wanted to heal people.
12:02He looked pleased.
12:04He said I was honoring my mother's wish.
12:06He said I had finally grown up.
12:09The truth was, I did not care what the palace said about me.
12:13I only wondered what Felix thought.
12:16If I stood in Serafina's way, would he destroy me too?
12:20I sniffed the air.
12:22A burnt herbal smell hit me at once.
12:24I shot to my feet and rushed to put out the fire.
12:26This is why pretty men are trouble.
12:28Another spring passed.
12:29Then summer came hard.
12:31Storm after storm hit the kingdom.
12:33Rain would not stop.
12:34Whole towns went under.
12:35The flood water swallowed villages.
12:38The grain rotted in the fields.
12:39After the storms, the refugees poured into the capital.
12:42They were everywhere.
12:43Children begging in the streets.
12:45Families sleeping against stone walls.
12:48They said the men with the corpse trucks could barely keep up.
12:51They were pulling bodies from one street after another.
12:54There were not even enough shrouds to cover the dead.
12:58The queen led the court's relief effort.
13:00She gave up pearls, rubies, and gold from her own collection.
13:03Bread was handed out by the palace walls and she overseeded herself.
13:05Soon the noble lemons of the city followed her lead.
13:08I was on my way to ask my father to let me join the royal physicians outside the palace.
13:12But when I reached the great hall, Sella Frina was already there.
13:15She wanted the king to issue a decree and grant her permission to marry Felix.
13:18You'll discuss that later.
13:19No, father.
13:20I came to ask about medical relief for the refugee.
13:22And how would you handle it?
13:24There are too many patients and not enough healers.
13:26Move the less serious pieces outside the capital.
13:28Felix just proposed moving people to where the food is,
13:31and now you come in with moving patients to where the care is very good.
13:34Then please let me go with the royal physicians and help treat the wounded myself.
13:37You are the third princess.
13:39Do you really mean to put yourself among refugees?
13:41I am also a physician.
13:43The sick are the sick, no matter their station.
13:45You really have grown up.
13:48Outside the hall, Serafina was waiting.
13:51She frowned at me.
13:53You knew I was asking father to let me marry Felix.
13:56You came to stop me, didn't you?
13:59They're dying in the streets.
14:00And you think this is the time to talk about love?
14:03Serafina faltered.
14:05I didn't mean.
14:07I'm not taking Felix from you.
14:09He's yours.
14:09Serafina pressed her lips together.
14:12She looked thoughtful.
14:13Guilty.
14:14I reached up and smoothed the loose hair from her brow.
14:16You were right that day.
14:18Power lets us take.
14:20But it also asks something of us.
14:21You're smarter than I am.
14:23You should know that.
14:24I turned to go.
14:26Then I saw Felix standing in the arcade.
14:29Watching me.
14:30His gaze was sharp.
14:31Cold.
14:33He walked toward us.
14:36Then he smiled.
14:37Princess.
14:38It's been a while.
14:39The more I watch you, the more interesting you become.
14:42As he spoke, my eyes dropped to his mouth.
14:44For a second, I could almost taste tea again.
14:47Felix.
14:48I didn't expect to see you here.
14:50Hardly.
14:50Were you waiting here for me?
14:52Of course.
14:53He had come for her.
14:54Princess.
14:55I.
14:56Congratulations.
14:57I cut in.
14:58You got your wish.
14:59Outside the palace, I saw what disaster really meant.
15:03A woman held a little boy in her arms.
15:06His small body was covered in infected sores.
15:08And just like that, I remembered.
15:10Why I had chosen medicine in the first place.
15:12An older woman took the bowl of medicine from my hands and looked at me kindly.
15:16You've saved so many.
15:18May God bless you.
15:19Do you know who this young lady is?
15:20She's the third princess.
15:22That's her?
15:23The one who kept her own tutor prisoner?
15:25That spoiled, vicious princess?
15:29So this was how it went.
15:30The cruel princess one day.
15:32A saint the next.
15:33What a joke.
15:34Is that the ogre princess?
15:36She cried.
15:37I gave a bitter smile.
15:40That night, too restless to sleep, I wandered into the walled garden by the side hall.
15:45For a second, I thought I saw him in the distance.
15:48That was impossible.
15:49Then, out of nowhere, a palace maid rushed out.
15:53From the shadows with a dagger, she slashed my right shoulder.
15:56My child died in the flood.
15:58Why didn't you save him?
16:00She raised the knife again.
16:02The sword pierced her throat from behind.
16:05She dropped dead on the spot.
16:07Then I saw who stood behind her.
16:15Felix, so it really is you.
16:17What are you doing here?
16:18He said nothing.
16:20He pulled me against him and reached for my clothes to check the wound.
16:24Felix, you're not a doctor.
16:25You don't know how to treat this.
16:26He pressed down to stop the bleeding.
16:28His eyes stayed lowered.
16:30Quiet.
16:30Focused.
16:34Felix, why did you save me?
16:36My death would have cost you nothing.
16:38I had no wish to fight for the throne.
16:40But if I died, Seraphina's path would be that much easier.
16:44I did hate you once.
16:45I did want you dead.
