Married to the Beggar Emperor

Summer Shaw and Theodore Pierce were childhood sweethearts, and Theodore once promised to marry her after becoming the Champion Scholar. The Chancellor's daughter, Jocelyn Sterling, mocks Summer's humble origins, claiming that Theodore intends to marry her instead. In despair, Summer marries a beggar on the street, unafraid of public ridicule and willing to build a life with him, unaware that the beggar is actually the emperor in disguise.
