In a world where humans and dragons coexist, dragonkind—though capable of taking human form—are inherently violent and must rely on the magic of human women to suppress their frenzy. To secure power and compete for the throne, Dragon Lord candidates enter marriage pacts with women from powerful magical families. Anastasia, born into one such family and gifted with immense magic, once devoted her life to helping her husband Dmitri rise to the throne—only to be betrayed by him and her own sister, and die a tragic death in prison. On the brink of death, she casts a forbidden spell and is reborn on the eve of his proposal. This time, she refuses to be a pawn—she will rewrite her fate and take revenge on those who destroyed her.

In 1911, amid New York's Gilded Age, Evelyn Hart, a rural English schoolteacher, voyages across the ocean for love, only to suffer betrayal at the hands of her fiancé Thomas. On the ocean liner, she comes to the rescue of Julian Kane, a mysterious wounded man, and agrees to a marriage of convenience with him when left with nowhere to turn. Little does she know he is the heir to the Kane family empire, commanding railways, shipping and steel. What begins as a reclusive tycoon hiding his true identity blossoms into a tender romance. As workplace clashes and taunts from her old rival mount, affection grows between them, while the truth of his identity slowly surfaces amid the unfolding drama.
