The Dragon King's Secret Daughter

Four years ago, human woman Elena jumped into the abyss to protect Dragon Emperor Balthazar's Heartscale. She raised their daughter Aria until the age of three before passing away. Braving snow and wind, little Aria travels alone to the dragon castle to return the precious scale. Though initially consumed by misunderstanding and rage, Balthazar is gradually softened by the girl's pure-hearted affection. Power-hungry noble Seraphina repeatedly plots against Aria and stages a rebellion alongside the Elder. In a critical moment, a memory stone hidden inside Aria's doll exposes the full truth behind Elena's death. Enraged, Balthazar breaks free from the magic seal, crushes the rebellion and punishes the traitors. At the baptism ceremony, Aria—once dismissed as a worthless half-blood—awakens the legendary, once-in-an-age Pure-Blood Dragon-God power. After countless hardships, the tyrant turns into a devoted father. Healed young Leo swears lifelong allegiance to Aria, and the found-family embraces a peaceful new life.
