A new emperor returns incognito to marry his childhood fiancée but is halted by a village entrance fee.
Leo Lowe swore to Tina Leed that he would come back as emperor and make her empress. After founding a dynasty and taking the throne, he slips home disguised as a commoner to keep his word. The moment he reaches the village gate, guards stop him and demand payment before letting him pass, delaying his reunion with the woman he pledged to crown.
