Serena, the daughter of a merchant, spent her entire fortune and five years of her youth to secure her fiancé Adam’s promotion to Grand Master of the Knights. However, on the eve of their wedding, she discovered that he was having a secret affair with her noble cousin Aurelia and conspiring to embezzle her family’s fortune. Serena publicly tore up the marriage contract and, in a fit of pique, married Cedric, a poor blacksmith. Unexpectedly, this blacksmith turned out to be the Prince of Orange on a secret mission. Not only did he help Serena expose Adam’s true colors, but he also protected her dignity and estate amid the political intrigues. Ultimately, Serena won the royal family’s recognition through her business acumen, rising from a despised merchant’s daughter to become a princess truly worthy of the crown.
