Psyche’s life is drastically changed when she becomes the daughter of Aphrodite. She thinks things will be perfect now and nothing could go wrong. That is until Aphrodite makes one request, and that is for Psyche to marry her son Eros. At first she has no idea what to say until Eros opens his mouth....
