Story Guide
In her last life, Isola ends up betrayed and killed by her five abused and tormented oathbound lovers. After being reborn, she does everything in her power to avoid the same fate.
Episode 1
In her last life, Isola treated her five oathbound lovers like livestock—taking their blood, breaking their bodies, and handing their relics to Eris. Eris then abandoned her for Leah, and together they convinced the five to kill her. Now Isola is back three days before her murder, determined to reverse everything. She starts with Elon, the elf and weakest of the five, removing his chains to treat his wounds. The others are suspicious; Nithius is missing, and without him the pentagram symbiosis pact is incomplete. Isola knows Leah turned Nithius against her last time, so she must save him first.
Episode 2
Elon marvels that he can see again, and that his wings were restored with Isola's heart's blood—she once said a tool doesn't need eyes. He apologizes for what he did to her and vows it won't happen again. When he insists on helping find Nithius, Isola refuses, telling him his core is still unstable and he must rest. But a heavy drowsiness overtakes her—someone has drugged her, intending that this time she won't wake. Elon's recovered eyes are already back at her heel, and another of the five accuses him of forgetting how she treated them. Elon insists she has changed and promised to break the pact.
Episode 3
Two of the five argue over attacking the unconscious Isola, each accusing the other of wanting her dead—though neither will kill her before the pact is broken. Elon, grateful for his restored sight, refuses to let anyone touch her. Isola wakes, realizing any of them could kill her at any moment, so she must win them over and recover Nithius. Eris arrives demanding the last relic and the others, mocking Isola's past begging. Isola refuses to hand anything over and demands back what was stolen. Eris punishes her with a blast of power, then leaves. Valeria reveals Nithius was once seen in the mirage forest and offers to lead Isola there.
Episode 4
Inside the mirage, Isola finds no Nithius—Valeria lied, luring her in to kill her. Valeria reminds Isola that she called her a useful tool and mutilated her ears so she could never face her people again. A kiss in the mirage would drain every drop of Isola's heart's blood. Instead, Isola apologizes, calling using Valeria the worst thing she ever did, and returns her relic, asking for one more chance to earn her trust. Eris appears, and Valeria pretends to be allied with her before turning the relic over to Isola. Eris attacks, but the backlash strikes her instead, and Valeria begins to doubt her own hatred.
Episode 5
Elon burned through all his magic to save Isola, pulling the venom into his own body. Valeria, watching over him, is stunned that Isola returned her relic and that Elon would die for her after all she did. Elon insists Isola took the venom for him, and that his blood now marks her. Another of the five, wounded, refuses her help, still pretending not to care. Isola tells him she knows he wants her dead, but she still owes him a heart scale and won't let him die before she repays that debt. He is left wondering what she actually wants.
Episode 6
One of the five senses wolf magic running wild near the forbidden grounds—likely where Nithius is held. The wards there are lethal, sealed with high-end magic that could strip Isola of her powers. She insists on going alone, but the others refuse to let her face it unprotected and agree to guard the perimeter while Rexo takes her in. Rexo carries her toward the dark magic barrier, where Nithius must be trapped beneath. As she rides, he bristles—she sits as if she owns him, and he has not forgotten how she drove poisoned iron spikes through his collarbone into the dragon bone beneath.
Episode 7
Rexo deliberately tries to shake Isola off, testing whether her old temper will surface. Instead, she notices his old collarbone and dragon-bone injuries flaring and tells him to slow down, promising not to blame him if it hurts. He is shaken—he was trying to kill her, and she worried about his wounds. He admits he wanted to watch her fold, but concedes they are not even yet. Isola says she would never hurt him again. He decides that even if this is an act, he won't let anyone harm her. They reach Nithius's prison; Isola tells Rexo to guard the entrance and goes in alone.
Episode 8
Isola finds Nithius chained in the dark pit where Eris tossed him to a practitioner of dark magic. He accuses her of handing him over and says he has four chains through his bones. He offers to let her tear him apart, certain she came only to watch him suffer. Instead, Isola asks him to let her remove the death chains and purge the venom first, then do as he wishes. She lets him tear her arm to the bone and places her life in his hands to free him. He suspects a trap, remembering how she got him last time, and calls her act sickening.
Episode 9
Isola tells Nithius that if killing her can heal his scars and free him from his hate, he should do it. He demands to know why she won't fight back, fearing she is giving him hope only to throw him back into hell. She apologizes—she was stupid and cruel, and he suffered alone because of it—and says she came to take him home. He refuses to believe her. Then Leah appears, taunting that Nithius is hers and that Isola abandoned him long ago. Isola accuses Leah of using high-order dark magic to amplify his hate, and offers herself instead. Outside, the others break in as Isola collapses.
Episode 10
Eris mocks the five for risking their lives to save the vicious woman they supposedly hate, vowing that sooner or later they will tear Isola apart with their own hands. The others see that Isola threw away her life to save Nithius, and that Eris used bone-rock poison—Isola put her body on the line for him. Nithius is overcome, his control torn away by the full moon and the dark magic; his powers run wild, and if he does not mate through it, he will implode and die. Isola's final thought echoes her last life: she died by his hand again.
