L'Empereur en Mendiant

Cindy, the illegitimate daughter of the Foster family, married Ryan Vaughn—a disguised emperor posing as a beggar—to save herself and rescue her father from execution. The Fosters, disbelieving Ryan’s true identity, groveled before the Minister’s son instead, humiliated Ryan, and forced Cindy into becoming a concubine. But when Ryan returned in imperial robes, he overcame every obstacle for Cindy.
