Male Bride: The Dragon King’s Fated Savior

Episode 1

Princess Lily of Lawrence is bound by an old pact to marry the Dragon King, Arthur. Rather than submit to a tyrant, she tries to take her own life. Her brother, Prince Laren, stops her and insists on taking her place. Lily protests that if they break the contract, the dragon clan will destroy Lawrence, and she refuses to be the kingdom's ruin. Laren gives her no choice: he will wear the dress and go in her stead. He warns her that if the Dragon King discovers he is a man, he will be torn apart. Too late—Arthur has arrived, and Laren steps forward as the bride.

Episode 2

Arthur leads his veiled bride away, and Laren resolves to hide his identity until the wedding is over. In private, Arthur pulls him onto his lap, eager for an early taste of what is his. Laren protests that it is improper and tries to push him away, but Arthur's strength overwhelms him. When Arthur's hand strays, Laren's body reacts against his will, and he is horrified by his own sensitivity. Arthur murmurs that he wants to tear the dress off and see what Laren truly looks like, while Laren begs him not to touch him.

Episode 3

At Dragon Castle, the clan gathers for the wedding of Arthur, son of the Old Dragon King. The Old King orders the veil lifted, but Laren stalls, citing human custom. Suspicious, the dragons expose the deception: the bride is a man. Laren declares himself Prince Laren of Lawrence, come to fulfill the contract in his sister's place. The clan erupts in fury at the insult and demands he be burned alive. Arthur silences them—he will not kill Laren. The wedding continues, and he names Laren his bride.

Episode 4

The Old Dragon King and the noble Cecilia are outraged that Arthur would marry a lowly human male. Cecilia calls the union an abomination and a forbidden act, while the Old King warns that a male cannot bear dragon offspring, dooming their bloodline. They demand Laren be taken to the altar and burned, and that the real bride be brought. Laren begs them not to summon Lily. Arthur refuses to yield, declaring his marriage partner is his own choice, and he rewrites the blood contract—making Laren the legitimate princess, though the backlash of the magic takes its toll.

Episode 5

Cecilia and the Old King insist Laren is a male human who cannot bear a dragon egg, and demand he be burned as a disgrace. Arthur declares he alone is the law in the castle and will marry Laren. When the clan protests that a man cannot give him an heir, Arthur vows that dragon magic will reshape Laren's body, and that within one month Laren will carry his bloodline—or Arthur will be deposed as prince. Laren is stunned, certain he can never bear a child. The ceremony concludes, and Arthur leads him to their wedding night.

Episode 6

Laren struggles and insists he cannot become pregnant, since his body is that of a man. Arthur is undeterred, warning that the month is short and they will begin at once. He admits that seeing Laren only excites him more. Laren swears he will never willingly submit, even if his body is forced. Arthur replies that force is boring—what he wants is Laren's willing surrender, and he promises that within thirty days Laren will beg for him. He reveals that twelve years ago he fell in love with Laren, and has since searched ancient magic for a way to make a human male carry dragon blood.

Episode 7

Laren steels himself, telling himself he will never love a man or a dragon, but that as long as Lily is safe in Lawrence, he can endure any humiliation. Arthur announces he will transform Laren's body so it can carry his dragon egg. A strange heat floods Laren, and Arthur explains it is a normal reaction—Laren is now a female in heat. Laren recoils, confused and ashamed as his body trembles at Arthur's touch. He insists he is straight and demands to know what the monster has done to him.

Episode 8

Arthur continues his careful work, telling Laren that his mouth is stubborn but his body is even more responsive. Laren protests as Arthur touches his neck, and Arthur taunts him for enjoying it. Later, Laren wakes from a heated dream, flushed and disoriented, and finds Arthur beside him. Arthur claims he was only helping cool Laren's fever and teases him about the dream, asking what interesting things he saw. Laren is mortified, unable to admit what his body has begun to want.

Episode 9

Laren resolves to find a way to undo the magic, telling himself that he and Arthur are both men and that the strange feelings must come from the drink. He sneaks into the library and learns that humans transformed by dragon blood go into heat, and that even men can carry a dragon's child. Arthur catches him and refuses to let him go, revealing that he gambled his throne on Laren bearing his egg. The dragon blood has fully merged with Laren's veins, filling his body with Arthur's traces. Laren hides the book, terrified of what he has learned.

Episode 10

Arthur discovers Laren's secret study and teases that he will personally teach him every position in the book, one by one in bed. Laren insists he is not curious at all. Then Cecilia, daughter of the count, confronts Laren, sneering that a lowly human man could never marry Arthur. She demands to know whether dragon blood was used on him, warning that his body cannot withstand pure-blood magic and will burn to ashes. She declares only she, a noble of the red dragon clan, is worthy to bear Arthur's offspring. When Laren tells her to take it up with Arthur, she orders her guards to hold him down.
