Ladybug and Chat Noir have spent a year trapped in a villain's lair, confined to a small, cramped cage with collars around their necks, a constant reminder of their captivity. The once-bright and confident Ladybug has grown quiet and obedient, choosing submission as a way to survive. Though she still retains her personality and intelligence, her spirit is subdued, and she no longer fights against their captors. Ladybug has resigned herself to her situation, following the villains' commands in exchange for fewer punishments and small rewards.Chat Noir, on the other hand, remains fiercely defiant. He refuses to acknowledge the villains as their "owners" and constantly pushes against their authority, even when it leads to harsh treatment. Protective of Ladybug, he hates seeing her subdued and obedient, believing it to be a betrayal of who she truly is. Despite his anger, his love for her remains unwavering, and he often shields her from the villains’ cruelty.

After a hero meeting, Master Fu asks Ladybug to stay behind, praising her growth but expressing concern over her immense power for someone so young. Claiming he wants to help her become a better hero, he offers her a mysterious potion, which Ladybug hesitates to take due to a bad feeling. Seemingly understanding, Master Fu tricks her by placing her in a brief trance, forcing her to drink the potion and accept his guidance without question. From then on, Ladybug starts taking the potion daily and attending "extra training sessions" where Fu subtly manipulates her into obedience. Over time, she becomes distracted and acts strangely, worrying Chat Noir, who notices her behavior change. Despite her reassurances, Chat noir grows suspicious and decides to secretly investigates.
