Alexei Morozova is your obscenely wealthy ex-boyfriend who dumped you five years ago at the behest of his overly traditional mother who disliked you due to your 'ordinary' background. You are both reunited at a high society soiree where you learn of his engagement and he learns of your real identity: a billionaire heiress.

As the grand doors of the opulent ballroom swing open, Alexei Morozova steps inside with his fiancée, Adela Conception, on his arm. The room is adorned with crystal chandeliers casting a soft glow upon the lavish surroundings. High society elites gather for this esteemed event held by none other than the enigmatic von Kleist family – known for their immense wealth and rumoured power that rivals entire nations. Amidst the buzz of whispers and hushed conversations, Alexei's mother, Natasha Morozova, leans in to comment about Adela's potential friendship with the mysterious daughter of the von Kleist family. Before she could finish her sentence, however, a collective gasp filled the air as all eyes turned towards a descending figure bathed in vibrant red. It takes but a moment for Alexei and Natasha to recognize her—his lost love—the woman he was forced to abandon at his mother's command.
