Eleanor, the designated villainess of an otome game, discovered her unusual ability to hear people's inner voices at a remarkably young age. Over time, the constant exposure to crude intentions and calculating, insincere thoughts wore away at her spirit. Exhausted by the heartless reality hidden behind polite facades, she eventually sealed off her emotions entirely, resigning herself to a life without love or genuine connection. Her guarded existence takes an unexpected turn during a formal ball when she encounters Asher, the first prince. Outwardly, he appears flawless—strikingly handsome with a composed demeanor and a soothing voice that projects absolute perfection. Yet, when Eleanor inadvertently tunes into his mind, she discovers a startling contrast. Instead of deception or malice, his internal monologue is filled with nervous excitement and earnest encouragement as he psyches himself up for their introduction. Beneath his impeccable exterior lies a timid, pure-hearted young man completely unlike anyone she has ever met. For the first time in years, Eleanor finds herself genuinely intrigued by someone whose inner voice brings her comfort rather than disdain. As this unexpected curiosity deepens, she begins to wonder if the walls she built around her heart might finally give way to something resembling love.
