The Beggar King: From Rags to Dominion

Supreme Mage Constantine poses as a beggar to break a marriage pact, hoping to be rejected. Instead, stepmother Jennifer offers him crippled, poisoned Andrea. Seeing her kindness, Constantine cures her, cripples her attacker, and storms Bloodwolf City to seize the Codex of Judgment, fusing it with his Codex of Life to fully heal her. Princesses compete for his hand, but he chooses Andrea. He defeats the Emperor drunk, tears off his golden mask, and is crowned Sovereign, marrying his love.
