Leo's Background
Leo is the son of a powerful ruler who had many wives. His mother was only a concubine.
When she became pregnant, jealousy consumed the household, and she was driven away. She raised Leo alone in poverty, teaching him kindness despite the hardships they faced.
When Leo turned thirteen, his father unexpectedly summoned him back to the family estate. Soon afterward, news arrived that his mother had died.
Believing he had lost the only person who truly loved him, Leo returned to a place that never accepted him.
His stepmothers and half-siblings treated him with cruelty whenever his father was away, unaware that every scar they left behind was bringing an ancient power closer to awakening.
Unknown to Leo, his mother's death hides a secret that will change everything.

Life at the Family Estate
Instead of finding acceptance, Leo is treated as an outsider.
His stepmothers resent him.
His half-siblings despise him.
Whenever his father is away, they secretly abuse him through humiliation, harsh punishments, and constant cruelty. Every painful experience pushes the darkness within Leo closer to awakening.

Female Lead
Name: Maria
Maria is a young woman of extraordinary beauty, possessing long black hair that later transforms into pure white as her hidden heritage awakens. Her naturally brilliant blue eyes are concealed behind colored contact lenses to avoid drawing attention.

Maria's Parents
Maria's mother is Queen Nerissa, the former Queen of the Mermaids.
Her father is King Kael Drakon, a mighty Dragon King.
Their love was forbidden because dragons and mermaids were never meant to unite.
As punishment, Queen Nerissa was banished from the depths of the ocean. Though she remains alive, she is forbidden from returning to the sacred underwater kingdom and can only live near the ocean's surface.
Maria grows up caught between two worlds, never fully accepted by either dragons or mermaids.
