At the heart of the story Navier, The irreproachable empress of the Eastern Empire, cast aside overnight by the man she thought she knew better than anyone else: her husband, Emperor Sovieshu. Yet her sudden downfall becomes the starting point for an unexpected rebirth.
Shin Min-ah plays Navier, respected for her intelligence and natural elegance. Her life is turned upside down when Sovieshu, her childhood friend turned emperor, tells her of a breakup she never imagined. Devastated but determined, she raises her head and "asks Prince Heinrey", ruler of the neighboring kingdom, to remarry her.
Ju Ji-hoon lends his features to Sovieshu, all-powerful emperor who had grown up alongside Navier. Despite promising "never to take a concubine", he betrays his commitment and demands a divorce, upsetting the balance they had built up.
Lee Jong-suk plays Heinrey, prince of the Western Empire, shrouded in rumors and the bearer of an as yet unknown secret. While he approaches Navier with hidden intentions, he gradually finds himself caught up in his own game, falling genuinely in love with her.
Lee Se-young plays Rashta, a former slave with exceptional beauty. Saved during a hunting trip by Sovieshu, she discovers that her benefactor is the emperor himself. An encounter that opens the door to ambitions she would never have dared imagine.
First Poster Unveiled
The poster shows Navier, standing alone in the center of the throne room of the Eastern Empire. Despite the oppressive atmosphere, the empress maintains a calm and resolute expression, already revealing the strength of character that has made her such a favorite among readers.
The image refers to one of the most memorable moments in history, when her husband, Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon), files for divorce after falling in love with Rashta (Lee Se-young), a former runaway slave.
«I agree to this divorce...»
The phrase on the poster echoes Navier’s now-iconic statement: «I accept this divorce. And I request permission to remarry.»
Rather than falling apart after her husband’s betrayal, Navier chose to take control of her life and write her own destiny. She would later marry Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk), the prince of the Western Empire, sparking a romance that has captivated millions of readers.
Thanks to his natural elegance and charisma, Shin Min-a is expected to portray a Navier who is as dignified as she is determined—a role that fans of the original work are particularly looking forward to.
