Diana is a powerless non-magical youth living on the fringes of an elitist academy where sorcery dictates social value. With her mother slipping toward death from a mystical curse, Diana agrees to enter a strict contract marriage with Lucian, the academy's notoriously cold headmaster who conceals his true heritage as a draconic prince.
Expecting endless torment from the fearsome warlord, Diana finds instead a steadfast guardian who quietly shields her from haughty professors and ambitious schemers. As institutional rivalries threaten to boil over, Lucian risks war against the governing council to keep Diana safe, proving that even legendary beasts can learn gentle devotion.
