Vengeance of the Dragon Princess

Serena, only daughter of the Black Dragon King and wife of Frost Dragon King Varian, hid three years to protect a Golden Dragon egg—blood extinct for ten thousand years. Coming home for her father's birthday, she was mistaken for a seductress by Dalia, the fox woman newly taken by her father. Dalia bound her with curse shackles, slashed her face, snapped her horns, stole her heart-protecting scale, cut open her belly, crushed the golden egg, and dragged her to the banquet as a "mistress." Serena survived and rose as Frost Queen. She exposed that Dalia's pregnancy was a lie, and watched Dalia get killed by her father.

Story Guide

Episode 1

Serena finally comes home. After three years hidden away in the sacred land to protect the golden dragon egg in her belly, she returns to Dragon Fort for her father's birthday. The golden dragon bloodline has been extinct for ten thousand years, and the child she carries is the hope of the entire dragon race, so she never dared risk a single mistake.

The moment she walks through the gates and throws herself into her father's arms like a spoiled child, someone is watching. Dalia, the fox woman the Black Dragon King has newly taken, sees only a beautiful stranger clinging to her man, and decides she is a mistress who needs to be taught a lesson.

Episode 2

Serena wakes in the guest room to find her body locked tight. A forbidden curse shackle, glowing with ghostly light, is wrapped around her, squeezing harder the more she struggles. Dalia leans in close and sneers at the "little slut" who dared flirt with her man at the gates.

Serena tells her plainly who she is: the Black Dragon King's daughter, Serena. Dalia laughs it off. Everyone knows the princess went to the hidden sacred land three years ago to protect her pregnancy, so why would she be hiding in a guest room like a seductress? Serena explains her chambers are being renovated and her father told her to stay here.

Dalia doesn't listen. She yanks Serena's hair, studies her face, and admits the prisoner is even prettier than a fox princess. Then a dagger appears in her hand.

Episode 3

Dalia has already sealed the room with a soundproof barrier, so no scream will bring help. She promises to carve Serena's "seductive" face into a spider web, then presses the cold blade to her skin. The next instant, pain explodes across her face.

Serena warns that her father will never forgive this. Dalia only mocks her, insisting the Black Dragon King dotes on her and would never raise a hand over some enchantress who appeared out of nowhere.

Serena's injuries are too severe to keep suppressing her bloodline. A stab of pain hits her forehead, and a pair of black dragon horns forces its way out of her hair. Dalia eyes them like ornaments, then cuts them off. The pain blacks out Serena's vision, and she curls around her belly to shield it.

Episode 4

Serena plays her last card, warning Dalia that her husband is Varian, the Frost Dragon King who rules the entire dragon race, and that he will never let this go. Dalia mocks her, asking why she calls him so intimately if they haven't even become mates.

That lands on a sore spot. Dalia's face changes, and she stomps down at Serena's head, declaring that no one in this world is more worthy than her to be the Black Dragon King's mate. When Serena's second horn comes off, the pain knocks her out, and a bucket of cold water wakes her again.

Dalia's real plan surfaces. She wants the dragon core, so her bloodline will soar overnight and she might truly grow nine tails. Serena realizes the truth: Dalia is an illegitimate daughter of the fox clan, someone who could never be shown in polite society. Then Dalia's hand climbs to her chest, eyeing the heart-protecting scale as armor for her mother.

Episode 5

Cold sweat runs down Serena's face. If Dalia really digs out her heart-protecting scale and dragon core, death won't be far behind. She offers a test: bring the Black Dragon King here, and if he says to her face that she isn't his daughter, she'll hand over both treasures herself.

Dalia hesitates, then kicks her and accuses her of scheming to seduce the Dragon King and steal her position. Eerie magic gathers in her palm and reaches toward Serena's belly, where not only her dragon core lies, but her child.

Serena's pride breaks. Her voice trembles as she begs: she's pregnant, please don't hurt the child. Dalia freezes, then screams as if her tail was stepped on, demanding to know if she had a child behind her back. She stomps toward Serena's belly. Only when Serena insists any maid can confirm who she is does Dalia finally drop the barrier and leave. She returns with an old servant who does odd jobs around Dragon Fort. Serena looks at him full of hope. After staring blankly, he shakes his head: he doesn't know her.

Episode 6

Serena can't believe it. Look carefully, she pleads. But the servant's eyes are full of fear, and he's even more terrified of Dalia. Serena understands instantly: her face has been slashed beyond recognition, and this woman has abused her power and dragon horns for years, so the servants fear her to the bone. Who would dare recognize the princess?

Her only hope is gone. Dalia grabs her hair, slaps her, and conjures a dagger against her belly, threatening to cut the child out and throw it to the beasts. Serena struggles wildly against the tightening curse shackle, insisting the child was hard to conceive and only needs one more year before it's born. She offers anything.

The knife cuts her open anyway. Dalia declares that only she is worthy to bear the Black Dragon King's first son, and that the throne and all the wealth of Dragon Fort will belong to her son. Then a gleaming golden egg rolls from Serena's belly. Dalia lifts it, stunned: a golden dragon, extinct for ten thousand years. She can't let this child be born. She raises the egg high.

Episode 7

Serena lets out a desperate dragon roar, but she can only watch as the golden egg shatters. A little dragon that had already taken shape falls silently to the ground and never moves again. Three years of careful guarding in the sacred land, and on the very first day she left, her child is gone.

Dalia sneers that it serves her right for stealing her man, then erases every trace of the egg from the floor. She knows exactly what a golden dragon means to the dragon race and doesn't dare let anyone find out. On the day of the birthday banquet, she promises to judge this "shameless mistress" before everyone.

Before leaving, Dalia remembers something and tears the heart-protecting scale from Serena's chest. She says her mother helped her get close to the Black Dragon King, so this gift will be a perfect thank-you. The dragon core can wait until after the judgment; with it, her bloodline will soar overnight and growing nine tails will only be a matter of time.

Serena lies in despair for three full days until she's finally carried out. As Dragon Fort's main hall draws closer, she clenches her fists. Dalia throws herself into the Black Dragon King's arms, cooing that she caught a mistress trying to seduce him and punished her properly, and brought her here so everyone can see what kind of woman she is.

Watch it and see whether the Black Dragon King recognizes his own daughter before it's too late.
