The protagonist is called Snow Queen, though she did not freeze anyone, kidnap little boys and declare war to all living on earth. She simply likes Winter and snow very much. Her house is made of ice, sparkling on the Sun. The strange woman leads a vicious life and does not know what feelings and emotions are, although she knows that they exist and all people experience them. People think that Snow Queen is cursed. She does not believe in such nonsense, and is just waiting for what is in front. But it turns out that the heroine is actually cursed. And only real love can unspell her.
