After catching her boyfriend cheating, Eleanor accidentally discovers she can calm the Dragon Lord Kevin's violent dragon nature. When she rescues his orphaned niece Aria, the three grow into an unexpected family. As betrayal, danger, and old wounds close in, Eleanor and Kevin must learn to trust love instead of fearing losing it.

Story Recap

Episode 1

Eleanor has spent her savings to surprise her boyfriend James on Dragon Island — only to walk into the wrong room and find him kissing her best friend Fiona on the bed she paid for. Reeling, she stumbles into a far more dangerous situation: a stranger grips her by the throat, burning hot, his eyes red with something inhuman.

But the moment her skin touches his, the violence drains out of him. The dragon inside goes quiet. Kevin, the Dragon Lord, is stunned — no one has ever been able to tame him. Then word arrives that his niece Aria is missing, and everything shifts.

Episode 2

James doesn't even flinch when Eleanor catches him. He acts relieved, like a weight is off his shoulders, and tells her he's sick of her clinging to him. Fiona, wearing Eleanor's new dress and carrying her bag, makes it clear nothing is getting returned. Eleanor leaves with nothing, humiliated and hollow.

Later, she finds a frightened little girl being taunted by other children — mocked as a stray nobody wants, her wish card snatched away. Eleanor steps in. The girl is guarded but softens when she notices something strange: Eleanor smells like her uncle. A dragon's scent, all over a human. The girl insists it's impossible. Eleanor has no idea who she's just protected.

Episode 3

The girl, Aria, asks Eleanor to help her hang a wish at the top of the lighthouse — something she's always wanted to do but had no one to take her. It's late, and no adult has come looking for her. Her parents died long ago, she explains, and her uncle has been burying himself in guilt ever since, blaming himself for not saving them.

Her wish isn't for herself. She just wants her uncle to be happy again — and someone to stay with him. Eleanor is moved. Before they part, Aria gives her a dragon mark, promising that she and her uncle will protect her. Only then does Eleanor realize she never asked the girl's name.

Episode 4

Aria doesn't want to go home — her uncle locks himself away every night and won't talk to anyone. So Eleanor walks with her a little longer and buys her a snack, a small act of kindness that clearly isn't routine for Aria. The girl notices Eleanor's worn-out heels and calls her out: she won't buy herself new shoes, but she'll buy a stranger a treat. "Do you always take care of everyone else first?"

Aria insists Eleanor should be with her uncle — scary, yes, but he'd never let anyone treat her badly. Eleanor dismisses it as kid talk. Then James appears, sneering that she's already babysitting a stranger's child.

Episode 5

James and Fiona corner Eleanor in public, mocking her as a fake, selfless saint. Fiona claims Eleanor's bag as her own, and in the scuffle Aria lashes out — burning Fiona's things. Fiona screeches at the "rotten little brat," but Eleanor barely registers it.

A broadcast cuts through everything: Aria, the Dragon Lord's niece, is missing, with an island-wide reward for her return. The photo on the screen is the exact girl standing beside Eleanor. It clicks — the name, the phone call, the man from room six. Aria is the Dragon Lord's niece. And the crowd is already turning, whispering that Eleanor is the kidnapper.

Episode 6

Eleanor is on her knees in handcuffs, accused of kidnapping Aria, staring up at the very man who once had her by the throat. He already thinks she's trouble — why would he believe her now? One word from him decides her fate.

But Aria runs to him, insisting Eleanor saved her and that the arrest is unfair. Kevin's first question isn't about the crime — it's whether she's hurt, and the dragon inside him goes still the moment he's near her. James tries to spin his lies, and Kevin shuts him down cold: her case is his now, and anyone who hurts her makes an enemy of the entire dragon clan.

Eleanor's luck just flipped in the strangest way — and the Dragon Lord isn't letting her go. Dive into the next twist and see where this unlikely trio lands.
