Lila is framed by Malachi and Ophelia, her fortune stolen, she dies of illness. Reborn ten years earlier, she knows Malachi is only the dragon keeper's son posing as a young lord. She recalls her silver-white dragon, and banishes him to the basement. She hires Kieran, who protected her silently in the past life, as her tutor, and falls for him. At the royal banquet, she exposes Malachi's fake identity and hands him an 860,000-gold bill. In the arena, Kieran defeats Malachi in one move and publicly pursues Lila. Ophelia and Chloe spread a scandal, projecting Cassian as her "sugar daddy", only to be exposed as Lila's biological father. He expels the three and sends them to prison.
