Eva defied her greedy family when they attempted to auction her off to a corrupt oligarch, choosing instead to stand by Killian, a penniless vagrant she sheltered during a freezing storm. Unbeknownst to Eva, Killian's ragged appearance was a temporary mortal tribulation disguising his true identity as the supreme Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan.
Disowned and evicted without a penny, Eva builds a modest life with Killian, never demanding wealth or questioning his silent loyalty. When Killian's tribulation concludes, nine golden dragons descend upon the city, and Killian places the imperial crown upon Eva's head, leaving her arrogant relatives to weep in the gutter.
