Sophie lives in a town with a small market (handicraft market or something). She is the oldest of the three sisters, and her two sisters are the biological daughters of her stepmother Francis. Since her father died, Frances couldn't support a family with three daughters by making hats, so she sent Sophie to the shop to help, but found good apprenticeships for her two youngest daughters Martha and Letty: Martha chose to be a trainee witch, and Letty had a soft spot for bakers. Poor Sophie, although not satisfied with her boring life, her talent in hat-making technology has gradually emerged. As long as she passes through her skillful hands, everyone who comes here to make hats thinks that the new hat is especially suitable for her.
At the same time, a castle suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Sophie town. This is a magical castle that can fly around. It is said that an evil magician lives in it. He collects young girls and sucks their souls. Some people say that he likes to eat their hearts. All the young girls in the town were warned not to go out alone to avoid being caught, and the evil castle was swallowed up by the devil.
Sophie's incredible genius hat-making ability finally aroused the jealousy of a western witch. The narrow-minded witch turned her into an old woman in a rage and cast a vicious spell. Sophie herself could not tell anyone her true identity. This sudden terrible experience aroused Sophie's accumulated dissatisfaction, and she couldn't imagine how she could go home like this.
So she ran away from home.
Sophie, who was old and frail, walked hard and stubbornly outside the town, but when night fell, she still didn't go far. Sophie was surprised to realize that she could never go to the next village now! When she was desperate, she found herself next to the legendary cold beast-the moving city. Perhaps the accidental old age gave the Hatter great courage, or maybe she was too tired to take another step. In a word, she knocked on this terrible castle with her remaining energy and prepared to spend the night. The magician is out! Michael, the magician's apprentice, is obviously a little green, and he seems to be at a loss in the face of this old and violent uninvited guest. When Sophie finally fell asleep in front of the fire, the shadow of the flame seemed to show her a human face. ...
Sophie woke up and threw a piece of wood into a strange flame. The flame really looked more and more like a face-it was a face! In fact, this flame was manipulated by a demon named Cassifa, but it was also sealed by a curse that Sophie could not escape. So it made a contract with Sophie: both sides helped each other find the true face of the seal and lift the curse. Of course, Sophie also found a reason to stay in the castle.
Sophie, who finally found hope, publicly announced that she is now the housekeeper of this castle. When Hal, the owner of the castle, came back, he was surprised to find that his castle had undergone tremendous changes-Sophie frantically cleaned up countless old cobwebs and dirt in the deepest part of the castle. Although this strange old woman came uninvited, Hall didn't kick her out at last, and asked her to stay for free to help him study why Cash was sealed in this castle. ...
