Aelia awakens three years in the past on the fateful morning of her clan's mate-selection ritual, having suffered a gruesome death orchestrated by her envious sister alongside a beast monarch. Determined to rewrite fate, she bypasses the prideful candidates and claims Ethan, an abused serpent pariah bound inside iron chains, prompting her furious father to cast her out immediately.
Armed with supernatural alchemy and past-life memories, Aelia restores her wounded companion while systematically dismantling the schemes surrounding them. Together, the mistreated herbalist and the disguised sovereign dragon awaken an ancient soul resonance, defying the corrupt orthodox priesthood to conquer the imperial realm.
