Official story outline
Sophia Lane transmigrates from the modern world into ancient times, where she helps the Seventh Prince, Adrian Kingsley, ascend the throne. As they weather countless hardships together, they fall in love, and Adrian vows that she will be the only woman in his life. But with his dying breath, the former Crown Prince Henry Kingsley plants a malicious seed of doubt in Adrian's mind. Taking advantage of his growing suspicions, Evelyn Jermyn meticulously schemes to frame Sophia. In the end, Adrian himself becomes the one to cast her into hell. He has her hung from the city walls, flogged eighty times, her tendons severed, and thrown into the imperial prison before sentencing her to death. At the moment of her execution, Sophia sets off the signal firework Adrian once gave her, allowing her soul to leave the ancient world and return to modern times. Adrian rushes to the execution platform, only to collapse in despair as he cradles Sophia's headless body in his arms. From that day on, they remain worlds apart, separated by a thousand years, never to meet again.
ShortDramaBuzz treats the listing synopsis as a dated source snapshot. When the official text is truncated, we stop at what is written rather than filling gaps from unofficial recaps.
Episodes and length
The official GoodShort record currently lists 80 episodes and about 1.1K public views (snapshot reviewed Nov 9, 2026). Overseas short-drama episodes are typically about one to three minutes each; that is an industry pattern, not a measured runtime for every episode of this title.
We do not republish a per-episode title list. Open the official listing for the live episode rail, unlock state, and any newly added chapters.
Free vs paid on this listing
The official listing marks paid access starting around episode 0. Earlier episodes may be free to start; later ones often need coins or a subscription inside GoodShort. Always confirm the current unlock point in the official app for your region.

What the tags signal
- The official tags frame this as a marriage, toxic romance, dominant story.
- Use the official synopsis to identify the central conflict before relying on popularity alone.
Tags can overlap, so they describe conflict style more than quality or ending.
Toxic Romance themes around this title
Toxic-romance dramas examine relationships shaped by manipulation, repeated betrayal, possessiveness, or dependency. The tag can describe a cautionary breakup story as easily as a redemption arc.
Read the premise rather than assuming the ending. The crucial distinction is whether harmful behavior is confronted and changed or simply reframed as passion.
How to use this guide
Use the facts box for episode count, platform, and the official call to action. Use the outline for the premise the rights holder already published. Use genre links when you want adjacent titles with verified listings. Skip unofficial “ending explained” posts if you want to experience the series as released.
ShortDramaBuzz will not fabricate a cast list, episode-by-episode titles, or a completion status we cannot see in the structured listing. If the official app later expands the synopsis or changes monetization, those updates belong on GoodShort first; our source-reviewed timestamp shows when this snapshot was last checked.
