The premise opens with a death so deliberate it doubles as the show's thesis. Helena's newborn son is thrown into the deep-sea grinder at a sacrifice ceremony; her last golden scale is ripped off; she dies cursing the names of everyone who did it. The opening minute of the series is that death, and the second minute is her opening her eyes back on her royal engagement day. The rebirth structure means the audience is ahead of the court from the very first scene — Helena already knows what they will become.
The series runs 13 episodes in English, with the opening stretch playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the sacrifice, the rebirth, the engagement-day stripping, the forced marriage to the outcast, and the waking of the caged monster. The later episodes carry the long arc of the court's fall and the abyssal throne's rise, which this page deliberately leaves to the show.
The engagement day replays the same cruelty as a procedure. Zael exposes her white-scale curse, strips her of her standing, exiles her to the mud and forces her to marry a crippled outcast. In the first life, Helena cries. In this one, she crawls instead — into the black market, where a kiss and a drop of blood wake a translucent monster who has been abandoned in a cage for years. No one in the court knows he carries the last drop of the Kraken's bloodline. The opening arc is about that partnership forming in the dark while the court above is still busy enjoying its victory.

Helena, Zael and The Caged Monster carry the opening arc.
She dies at a sacrifice ceremony after her newborn son is thrown into the deep-sea grinder, and wakes up back on her royal engagement day. This time, when the court strips her and forces her to marry a crippled outcast, she does not cry — she crawls into the black market to wake a monster no one else remembers exists.
On the day of the royal engagement, Zael exposes Helena's white-scale curse, strips her of everything, exiles her to the mud and forces her to marry a crippled outcast. In this second life, Helena already knows what he is going to do before he does it.
Forgotten, abandoned and rotting in a cage in the black market, until Helena wakes him with a kiss and a drop of blood. No one in the court knows he carries the last drop of the Kraken's bloodline — which is exactly why he is the partner she picks.
Four editorial picks from the opening stretch — the sacrifice, the rebirth, the stripping and the waking. No ending spoilers.
The series opens on Helena's death: her newborn son thrown into the deep-sea grinder, her last golden scale ripped off, her curses staining the abyss. It is the coldest possible opening for a rebirth story.
She opens her eyes back on the day of her royal engagement. The court is about to do to her exactly what it did the first time — and this time she knows it.
Zael exposes her white-scale curse, strips her of everything, exiles her to the mud and forces her to marry a crippled outcast. In the first life she cried; in this one she is already planning her way into the black market.
In the black market, with a kiss and a drop of blood, Helena wakes a translucent thing rotting in a cage. No one knows it carries the last drop of the Kraken's bloodline — and that is the point.

Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The show opens on a death and then lets the audience watch the same day play a second time, with the heroine's new knowledge sitting on top of the old cruelty. The effect is that the court's victories look smaller the second time through.
The abyss, the golden scale, the Kraken bloodline and the black market cage give the revenge arc a texture most rebirth dramas skip. This is not a modern corporate comeback; it is a deep-sea court with teeth.
Best for viewers who like rebirth revenge fantasy with a dark sea-mythology register, a heroine who has already died once and comes back with a plan, and a monster-partner no one in the court remembers exists. If you want a light palace romance, the opening minute is a sacrifice and the rest stays close in tone; if you like short, sharp, myth-heavy revenge arcs, the 13-episode run is compact and unrelenting.
