Story Guide
Episode 1
A three-year drought has drained the land, and the dragon king will lift his curse for one price: a fertile, untouched bride. In a starving house, Elara's guardian makes the choice plain—two mouths are too many to feed. When Elara begs to keep her younger brother's medicine coming, she's told a sorcerer already named the only cure left in the world: a dragon's heart. So Elara agrees to become the dragon's bride, seeing it as her one chance to get close enough to cut out his heart and save her brother.

Episode 2
Whispers follow Elara as she's handed over. The villagers call her a poor thing, fed to the beast to keep the rest of them safe. They say that after the wedding night the dragon burns his brides, turning them to ash to hatch his eggs—she won't last till dawn. The call goes out for the dragon king to come and claim his bride. Then something strange happens: the rite is spoken, the words are done, and Elara is left wondering if any of it was real.

Episode 3
Elara wakes somewhere unfamiliar, her clothes changed and her hidden blade still within reach. She isn't ash—not yet. Caelum appears from the fog, and she demands to know what he is to that monster. He turns it back on her: she's only just met him and already so wary. He confirms it plainly—he is the dragon, and she is his bride. He reminds her the rite isn't finished, and that tonight is their wedding night. Elara steels herself to act while he still thinks she's prey.

Episode 4
Elara strikes—and fails. Caelum catches her: "My bride, you truly mean to kill me." He breathes fire, and she realizes how hopeless a knife is against that. She bolts, but he calls after her, teasing that she's remarkably bad at running away, warning there's no floor where she's headed. She backs away, telling him to stay back, but he only notes she certainly came prepared. Knife raised, she orders him to shut up and keep his distance, trapped between a monster and her own failed plan.
Episode 5
Cornered, Elara tells herself this is it—the perfect chance to kill him, all of it for her brother. She drives the blade in, but Caelum barely flinches. "Wrong spot, little bride," he says. "A dragon's heart isn't where a man's is." Then he does the unthinkable: he offers to show her exactly where to aim if she's going to kill him. The man she was sent to murder is handing her the map to his own heart, and Elara has no idea what to do with that.
Episode 6
Caelum asks his failed assassin for help back to his lair. Elara admits he doesn't seem as cruel as the stories say—not like a beast who burns his brides to ash. He warns her not to speak too soon; perhaps he only plays wounded to win a soft-hearted girl's sympathy. But she remembers that a moment ago she put a knife in him, and he wrapped his wings around her instead of letting her fall. She trusts what she saw. Names come next: hers is Elara. His, he says, is a dragon's name—and speaking it means holding his life in her mouth.
Episode 7
Caelum won't take what isn't freely given. When Elara tells him to stop, he agrees—but only if she doesn't feel what he feels. Push him away, he says, and he'll stop. Otherwise, belong to him, just for tonight. Elara is left reeling: after everything, how is anyone supposed to resist him? The bride sent to cut out a dragon's heart is running out of reasons to keep her distance—and the wedding night she dreaded is turning into something far more dangerous.
Elara came to kill a monster and found a dragon who keeps handing her the knife. Watch how far she'll let herself fall before the choice between her brother and Caelum finally breaks her.

My Family Let My Baby Die for My Husband's Mistress Recap, Cast & Preview
One operating room left, every other surgical team tied up with a highway pileup: Tessa is bleeding out with her baby's heart rate crashing, and Paige — her husband's mistress and her oldest friend — is in labor down the hall. Colin makes the choice, and Tessa's own mother and brother enforce it. The surgeons save her life by taking her uterus. Her son is born without a heartbeat, and out in the corridor Colin is holding Paige's newborn while Tessa's mother tells him to hurry up and hold his son. The disposition form for Tessa's baby is signed three hours before her baby existed. She was trafficked at twelve and Paige took her place in that family while she was gone, so every fight since has ended with Tessa apologizing — but not this one. She pulls out her IV, signs herself out, and makes a single phone call to the boy who was locked in that cellar with her twelve years ago, now a man who walks off an international stage mid-presentation and lands on the hospital roof four hours later. Six months on she has a pottery shop, a divorce filing, and a folder he ordered the day he heard what they named that baby — and it all comes due on a hotel plaza in the rain, with a husband out on a ledge and a fire department bullhorn broadcasting the truth about whose hands were on her IV that night.
