For five years, Nerina lived in Mason's mansion and took his money while he swore she was holding back a family curse. His heirs saw a grifter bleeding their fortune dry. When Mason dies just days before the curse is set to break, they move to evict her.
They have no idea who they're throwing out. Nerina is the Lu family's immortal ancestor, a True Dragon heir bound by a centuries-old pact: she guards the bloodline, and the bloodline worships her. Breaking that vow isn't a family argument — it's a sentence. As the heirs strip her name from the house and the will, the terms of the pact start coming due, and Nerina has no reason left to soften the price.
