Summary notes spoiler-light, read before episode 1

In short: 60 episodes, in English, original audio — episodes 1–10 play right here.

Orphaned Maddalena Harper becomes a copy scribe at Augustus Palace to fund her sick mother's treatment. Humiliated by court insider Adela with ink, she is instead taken in by Emperor Alexander. She stays by his side during a poisoning attempt, and a one-year contract makes her his companion.

She hides her talents while uncovering a smuggling plot, earning promotion to harbor superintendent and rising to empress. The return of the emperor's long-lost fiancée Katherine reveals hidden truths and her real rise begins.

Study tip: the first 10 episodes set up every conflict that the remaining 50 episodes pay off — watch them back to back before you decide whether to continue.
