Despite being one of the most promising candidates, Allen fails the final exam for the position of royal court sorcerer, forcing him to abandon his ambitions and return home. Adding to his woes, he does not even have enough money for the train fare back, stranding him. With help from a former professor, Allen secures an unusual job offer: to be the private tutor of the daughter of Duke Howard, one of the kingdom's most powerful nobles. The girl, Tina, however, has one critical flaw—she is completely unable to use magic. Though her academic prowess is nothing short of prodigious, intellect alone is not enough for the fast-approaching entrance exams to the prestigious Royal Academy. Moreover, countless magic instructors have tried to solve her problem and gave up in the process. To help Tina overcome her limitations, Allen must dig deeper into the roots of her magical inability, and, in doing so, uncover far more than he ever signed up for.

The Shaderan family has fallen on hard times, and the avaricious and callous baron and baroness will stop at nothing to regain status. They favor their beautiful daughter Anastasia, hoping to marry her into wealth, while they treat the second daughter, Marie, no better than a servant. Years of abuse have convinced Marie that she is truly undeserving of love and attention. On Marie's birthday—used as a ploy to showcase Anastasia—Marie meets Count Kyros Granado, who is immediately charmed by Marie and her knowledge of his culture. Believing Anastasia to be the one he fell for, Kyros proposes via letter. But Anastasia tragically dies on her way to marry him. Forced to take Anastasia's place, Marie becomes Kyros' fiancée, just as he originally intended. Although Marie terribly lacks confidence, Kyros gently helps her find her worth, awakening her to her own beauty and the true meaning of being loved.
