Betrayed by her secret dragon husband, Ella accepts a contract marriage with the Dragon King who saved her.
Seven years of shared poverty dissolve when Ella's husband reveals himself as a dragon noble and shoves her from a cliff to silence her. The realm's most feared Dragon King plucks her from the fall, not with mercy but a calculated two-year marriage pact meant to shield them both. She agrees, trading one binding for another, yet the man she thought she knew refuses to let his property escape. He hunts her across realms, convinced ownership trumps any new vow. The premise pivots on a woman caught between the architect of her death and the monster offering survival, each marriage a cage with different bars.
