Chinese synopsis from Bangumi (opens in a new window)
As the illegitimate daughter of a count and his maid, Katrina was born into miserable circumstances. And now that she's lost her mother, the treatment from her stepsister and stepmother the countess has only grown worse. One day, her stepsister receives a royal order to move to the northern outskirts due to her unseemly behavior at a recent party. There, she is to learn proper conduct under the tutelage of the resident prince, rumored to be a cruel man. Not wanting to subject her daughter to such punishment, the countess decides to send Katrina instead. Katrina arrives in the north shaking in fear. But contrary to the stories, the "merciless and cold-hearted" prince is kinder than she believed. Might the pure-hearted Katrina find love in the wintry countryside?

LicensorsA company that holds the rights to this title, from the English Wikipedia infobox and Anime News Network (ANN) licensing news. A licensor is not a streaming platform (without a stated region it usually means the English-language release). The “→” after a distributor is its own streaming service.

What people sayPublic comments from other sites
AI sentiment analysisAn AI model (claude-session) rates each public comment as very positive / positive / mixed / negative / very negative (scored 9.5 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2), averages them weighted by confidence, site, length, “helpful” votes and date, then shrinks the result toward a neutral 6 (so a few comments can't inflate it).Calibrated to the site-score scale it is 6.50, and it counts toward the overall score by the number of comments (at most 35%).Only the latest ~40 comments per site are read (plus ~50 posts from each forum's episode threads, which weigh less): a sample, not everything. Excerpts are at most 140 characters and belong to their authors; comments that may contain spoilers are not shown. Comments from Chinese sites appear in an AI translation, with the original one click away. Sentiment labels can be wrong. Updated Oct 7, 2026, 06:36.See the score breakdownSentiment score5.8/10

Score breakdownThe three parts are weighted in “virtual votes”: the more site votes and analyzed comments, the more weight that part gets. Fan sentiment is capped at 35%, and each AniRanking rating counts as one vote. Full rules
- Site scores6.0372%Consensus of 1,139 site votes (calibrated to one scale and shrunk toward the global baseline by vote count)

Site scoresThe site consensus is 5.35 (1,139 votes, weighted by site reliability × log of votes); shrunk toward the season baseline 6.99 by vote count, it becomes 6.03. Sites score differently (Bangumi runs low, bilibili high), so each is first calibrated to one scale using titles rated on both it and AniList, then combined; sites with fewer than 100 votes are ignored.
