Maha was born as the sole heiress to a renowned trading company, but she was betrayed by one of her parents' closest advisors who seized control of the business for himself. Her parents were murdered, and fearing for her life, Maha fled to Milteu where she gathered a group of orphaned children to live with her. They earned their living by giving tours to visitors, but their situation took a dangerous turn when a local noble placed a bounty on their heads, intending to sell them into slavery and prostitution. However, Maha was saved by Lugh, who had been sent undercover to Milteu for training as a merchant under an alias his father had created for him, Illig Balor.
Illig Balor bought Maha out of her slavery and adopted her into his family, making her his right-hand man in charge of running both his cosmetics empire and information network. Over time, Maha became one of Lugh's assassin assistants, becoming strong, agile, and an excellent acting director for his growing cosmetics and chocolate business.
As they worked together, Maha developed feelings for Lugh, but he initially rejected her advances out of concern for taking advantage of her. However, as she continued to demonstrate her intelligence, cunning, and strength, Lugh began to see her in a new light and eventually fell in love with her.
