Claimed by the Dragon I Taught to Court

Human researcher Iris mistakes a powerful Dragon——Eric, for a merman and teaches him courtship rituals, only to be taken as his mate. When she flees, he imprisons her and forces her to swallow his pearl, altering her body. As she rages, childhood memories surface—they were once best friends, and she broke her promise. She cages him back, then proposes with genuine love. They reconcile, embracing their bond and a future together.
