The Demon Spawn of the Dragon Clan
After carrying her child for three years, mortal maid Mia gives birth to a soul-less black egg, which the scheming High Priest and Saintess brand a cursed "demon spawn". Blindsided by perceived betrayal, Dragon King Leon banishes mother and child into the lethal abyss. But in their fatal fall, the egg hatches into a supreme Golden Dragon! Five years later, the child's awakening dragon soul threatens his life, and only a drop of his biological father's blood can save him. On the eve of Leon's wedding to the deceitful Saintess, a veiled Mia returns to the perilous palace. Can she secretly secure the blood, or will the Dragon King discover the rightful heir he once cast into the abyss?
Story Guide
Episode 1
Mia has carried her child for three years—far longer than any normal dragon pregnancy—and the whole court is watching. Leon, the Dragon King, makes a bold promise: if she delivers safely, she becomes queen of the dragon clan. That vow enrages the Saintess, who insists she is the one meant to rule beside him. Whispers spread that a supreme dragon bloodline, seen once in thirty thousand years, is about to be born. But when Mia finally pushes through the birth, the room goes silent. Something is wrong with what arrives.
Episode 2
Mia wakes to find her baby gone and a black egg in its place. The court gasps: the heir to the dragon clan is just an egg, with no trace of a dragon soul. The High Priest seizes the moment, declaring it a demon spawn and a calamity foretold in prophecy. The Saintess fuels the panic, hinting the child may not even be Leon's. Leon refuses to doubt Mia outright, but the pressure mounts. To settle it once and for all, he orders the egg taken to the dragon soul altar to reveal the truth.
Episode 3
The palace gathers as the dragon soul altar is invoked in the name of the dragon god. The verdict lands like a blade: no dragon soul. The High Priest's claim stands, and the court erupts—if this truly is a demon spawn, the kingdom is doomed. Mia protests that the child is hers and Leon's, but the altar's result is treated as proof of no dragon blood at all. The High Priest presses his advantage, and the room turns against her. Mia is left clinging to a truth no one else will believe.
Episode 4
The court demands death. The High Priest warns that a demon spawn left in the palace could bring ruin, and the chant to kill it rises from every side. Leon confronts Mia, asking whose child this really is and why she would betray him. Mia swears she never did—she carried his child for three years, and the altar must be wrong. But the evidence is stacked against her, and the Saintess and High Priest keep stoking the fury. Leon stands at the edge of a choice that could destroy them all.
Episode 5
Leon decides execution would only dirty his hands—so he orders Mia and the egg thrown into the abyss, a place no one has ever survived. As they fall, the Saintess appears to gloat, and Mia finally names the truth: she has been framed. The Saintess sneers that no one will ever believe her and moves to finish the job. But in the darkness of the fall, something stirs. A small voice asks, "What is this, mummy?"—and the abyss is no longer the end.
Episode 6
Far from the palace, Mia is determined to give her son the best of everything, even making his first garment with her own hands. Back at court, Leon cannot shake his doubt. He knew Mia for three years and refuses to accept she betrayed him, even as others insist she did. Then a strange light appears—the dragon god's radiance, said to shine only when an heir to the dragon clan is born. Leon's suspicion turns to dread: was that egg really his son?
Episode 7
The dragon god's light fades, and the court celebrates ridding itself of the "demon spawn," though Leon quietly admits he had let himself hope. Elsewhere, Mia's child dreams of a tall, handsome father with golden hair just like his own, and asks why daddy never visits. Mia promises to take him to see his father once he is better. But a warning arrives: the boy's power is awakening, and without his father's blood to guide him, his dragon soul will keep tearing at his body.
Episode 8
The attacks can no longer be held back. Saving the child requires a single drop of his real father's blood—only blood from the same dragon line can calm his soul. That means the Dragon King's blood, which seems impossible to obtain. Then news spreads from the royal city: in three days, Leon will wed the Saintess, and one hundred children will be chosen to enter the palace for a blessing. Mia sees her opening and tells her son he is going to meet his daddy.
Episode 9
Mia and her son arrive at the glittering palace, and the boy marvels at everything, longing to see the legendary lightfall—though the High Priest says it won't come for six more years. Mia steels herself: she only needs to get that blood and escape this cursed place. The old wound resurfaces—whose child is this, and why would she do this?—as the wedding preparations swirl around them. Every step deeper into the palace raises the risk that someone will recognize her.
Episode 10
Inside the palace, Leon senses something familiar and freezes. A scent catches him—one he knows—and he turns toward a veiled figure. "You can't be. She's dead," he says. Mia silently begs him not to recognize her. The Dragon King is steps away from the woman he banished, and the wedding to the Saintess is almost here. Will he see through the veil before she gets the blood?
