Dreamily Beautiful!

After the death of her father, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who, unlike her sister Dora, forces her to work as a servant. Despite this, she dreams of freedom and adventure. When her path leads her into the snowy forest one day, she meets the prince—a snowball, a laugh, a glance.

When the prince hosts a ball, her stepmother forbids her from attending. Thanks to three magical hazelnut shells, Cinderella manages to secretly attend the royal ball. There, the prince has eyes only for her—until the clock strikes midnight and she must flee in haste, leaving her shoe behind on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
