Heart of the Serpent

60 Episodes

For centuries, the Demon King Lorian ruled his shadowy realm with cold indifference, viewing humans as fleeting, emotional toys. Then he bound Elara, a mortal woman, to his side through a magical contract. To him, it was a game. To her, it was a prison that slowly became a home. Against all logic, she loved him. She weathered his cruelty, believing her devotion could melt his icy heart. She was wrong. On the night she sacrificed her last connection to the human world to save him, she found him wrapped in the arms of a rival demoness, laughing at her "pathetic" mortal feelings. That was the moment her last tear fell. It hit the marble floor and sizzled, burning a permanent mark—the first sign of her awakening power. The contract that bound her didn't just break; it inverted. The human love he scorned becomes the demonic vengeance he cannot escape. Elara is no longer the pleading mortal. Ancient magic, tied to a pure heart's ultimate betrayal, now flows through her. She walks out of his palace, not as a victim, but as a power he doesn't understand. Lorian soon finds his kingdom crumbling, his allies turning to ash, all traced back to her. He hunts for the weak woman he remembers, only to find a sovereign of wrath who knows every one of his secrets and every one of his fears. The hunter is now the prey. But vengeance has a price. To fully destroy him, Elara must sacrifice the last remnant of her own humanity. Is she willing to become the monster he made her, just to make him pay?
