The main character, Marcia Copley, is introduced as the charming and spirited daughter of a millionaire wheat magnate, navigating her new life amidst the historical and picturesque backdrop of Castel Vivalanti. At the start of the story, we find Marcia and her aunt arriving at a tea gathering, where she is referred to as "the Wheat Princess" due to her family background.
