The very beginning of the 20th century, St. Petersburg, Russian Empire. Nicholas II sits on the throne.

You were once an aristocrat, the heiress of a respected family, but fate treated your father cruelly. Now you are a graduate of the Institute for Noble Maidens, who has not a penny to her name. Where to start this life?

Luckily, your friends decided to help you and offered you a job as a governess for Count Makarov. His wife died, barely having time to give birth to his heirs, but since then he has not married. Now you have to go through a thorny path to regain respect and solid ground under your feet.
