Ella, a rabbit beastkin, spent five years protecting the golden Lion King, Leo, unaware that she was merely a "meat shield" for her stepsister, Vera. Years ago, Ella risked everything to save a feral Leo, only for Vera to steal the credit—and the Lion King’s affection—using a stolen heirloom ring. Realizing that Leo’s "love" was built on lies and that she was nothing more than a pawn, Ella seizes the chance to break free. Forced into an arranged marriage, she agrees to substitute for her sister by marrying the rumored crippled and savage Northern Wolf King. But as the truth finally surfaces and the proud Lion King descends into madness and regret, begging for a second chance, Ella has already found true respect and power at the side of her new King, leaving her past behind.
