So close, yet so far the stolen princess

On the day of her birth, Princess Olivia of the Magic Empire was swapped by her ambitious aunt Sirena, who branded her with a dark magic seal to suppress her powers, leaving her a powerless "lowly bastard." For eight years, she was beaten and tortured by her false mother, bullied mercilessly by the false princess Julianna, and even forced to kneel and eat from a dog bowl at the royal banquet—while her real mother, the Queen, and her brother, the Crown Prince, remained unaware, though they were so close. On the eve of the Bloodstone Ceremony, which would decide the fate of the empire, Sirena cut open her chest to extract her pure blood. Dying, the 8-year-old girl, desperate to keep her promise to her brother that she "must come," broke her own fingers to free herself from chains, walked barefoot across molten rock, and pushed open the palace doors covered in blood. As she was dragged away, her collar tore, and her 11-year-old brother instantly recognized the Stardust mark on her chest—the truth was revealed. Her mother awakened in fury, and the divine pure blood returned in glory. The true heir reclaimed the throne, and the villains faced judgment.
