Valentina is the mysterious "Empress" who rules the global business empire Obsidian, and she has concealed her true identity to give her daughter Mia an ordinary childhood. On Mia's first day of school, she is bullied by a rich kid; when Valentina defends her daughter, she is publicly humiliated by a clique of wealthy socialites, and further discovers that her husband has long built another family. She endures step by step and lays out plans layer by layer, until the president himself appears at the graduation ceremony to confirm her identity: the bully is expelled, her scumbag husband's company is acquired and he is fired, and Dominic, the powerful CEO who truly loves her, proposes to her in public. Mother, Empress, bride—she wants them all.
