In her past life, the true heiress Victoria was forced into an arranged marriage with Wall Street upstart Richard, only to suffer torment at the hands of her husband—a fraudulent gay man and sadist—and was ultimately pushed off a skyscraper by her half-sister Selena. Both are reborn back to the night of the debutante ball. Selena eagerly snatches Richard away, attempting to seize the conglomerate empire; Victoria decisively breaks ties with her hypocritical family and hands the white rose meant for her fiancé to Alexander, a forgotten "crippled poor boy" in the corner. Victoria walks barefoot on broken glass to reclaim his dignity and uses her hacking skills to turn crises around, protecting him. She believes she is guarding a fragile, insecure disabled husband—until a chandelier crashes down at a gala and the FBI surrounds the courtroom—the man who had always been in a wheelchair, begging at her feet, strides into court with top lawyers and armed mafia forces. The nation is stunned: this cruel, savage godfather of the dark empire has been faking his disability for love, an ultimate protective husband.
