Disney+ and Hulu will debut the first four episodes that day. Both services will then release two episodes every Wednesday through the November 25 finale, bringing the total to 10.

Determined to regain her status, Navier decides to become an Empress in another land.

The webtoon has drawn more than 2.9 billion views worldwide and has translations in 10 languages. It has a strong international following, especially in Japan.
