Stefan spent three years in prison, taking the fall for his girlfriend. On the very day of his release, he catches her drinking a unity cup with her first love. Disheartened, he cuts ties and, carrying his master's contract, heads to the Stewart family—one of River City's top elite families—to fulfill a twenty-year-old pact: marry the Stewart heiress. Sara Stewart has been unconscious for six months, with no cure from any renowned doctor. Stefan revives her with his miraculous medical skills, only for her to propose a “marriage in name only, no interference.” Stefan agrees without hesitation, because his real target is the Profound Cold Earth Vein beneath the Stewart estate—the key to awakening his tenth “True Dragon Meridian.”
