In Blackpine Fort, shrouded in mist and thorns on the border of Aurora Kingdom, Prince Elian was cursed into a beast for rejecting a witch’s marriage proposal. Without mutual true love before his twenty-first birthday, he would remain a beast forever. Evelyn, a fallen noble lady, married him instead of her elder half-sister to secure treatment for her sick mother. Facing frame-ups, poisoning plots and treason schemes, she solved crises with wit. Elian guarded her secretly and grew to love her. They crushed the rebellion together and broke the curse. Evelyn founded the kingdom’s first women’s academy and was titled Dawn Lord by merit, while her greedy half-sister was exiled for betrayal.
