Arrogant socialite siblings dump dirty dishwater onto Ivy's uniform, ridiculing her as a dirty beggar who was dragged in from the streets. Wandering homeless since her mother died when she was a toddler, Ivy lived a life of quiet hardship until she heroically saved young aristocrat Lucas from an icy lake. In gratitude, Lucas's family sheltered Ivy, yet snobbish relatives constantly subjected her to cruel frame-ups and domestic servitude. The abuse peaks during the annual high-society gala, where the family attempts to have Ivy arrested for stealing ancestral emeralds. Just as the guards move in, an armored motorcade carrying the matriarch of the century-old Vance dynasty storms the venue. Genetic DNA tests confirm Ivy is the long-lost supreme heiress of the premier royal bloodline, possessing wealth that eclipses the entire city. Paralyzed with horror, Ivy's former tormentors drop to their knees. But will Ivy forgive their cruelty, or claim her rightful throne?
