After years training in the mountains to hide her strength and find her parents' killers, Chloe returns to a family meeting where her grandmother and relatives denounce her as incompetent and strip her of responsibilities. The older generation decides to hand the family's wealth to her and bind her to the Herring family, naming Terry as the match. Humiliated, Chloe suggests marrying four other men instead, but the arrangement stands. The key turn: Chloe must play obedient heiress while keeping her vows and concealed power, waiting for the killers to make a move.
