Synopsis
CEO Yoo Taehyuk pretends to be the reincarnated mate of a weakened dragon to save his sister from an arranged marriage.
The days of supernatural mixing with human are long gone, but a fortunate few receive the blessings of spirits even in 21st-century Korea. Such is the affluent Yooshin Group, whose patron deity is the great dragon. As long as they serve the dragon, the Yoo family will prosper. However, when the dragon awakens from his centuries-long slumber, he intends to abandon the family to reunite with his reincarnated mate. To save his sister from an early marriage—and to a dragon at that—Yoo Taehyuk, the CEO of Yooshin Hotels, decides to approach the dragon in a businesslike fashion. Instead of some overwhelming divine presence, the dragon is a young man named Hyo-un, recovering from his weakened dormant state and tormented by his inability to remember his mate. Still, Taehyuk persists, pretending to be Hyo-un's past lover, even when Hyo-un ignores him—but a mystical force binding them together may prove that their meeting was written in the stars after all.
