The Tyrant's Exclusive Antidote

About this drama

The source for this entry is a synopsis of 903 characters in eight sentences, the third-longest source of the batch, and two transcription facts come first: the two curly apostrophes, in Dominic's and Stella's, are transcribed straight; and the platform joins clauses with one em dash, transcribed here as a comma. What the source states: genius perfumer Stella spent three years crafting the legendary fragrance Elysium, only to have its formula stolen by her boyfriend and her female confidante, leaving her cornered; she turns to ruthless tycoon Dominic, who suffers from an incurable neurotic mania, only Stella and her scent serving as his exclusive antidote; the two strike a dangerous binding pact; scandalous candid photos, industry trials and boardroom power grabs pile up one after another; Stella outwits her betrayers with a cunning perfume trap, yet a long-buried old case surfaces; Dominic's uncle Arthur harbors a devastating secret, he framed Stella's father to ruin him years ago and has poisoned Dominic for ages; mercenaries, toxic gas and a building bomb unravel the truth; bound by a transaction yet tied by life and death, the synopsis closes on its question, can the two break every trap and safeguard each other alongside the lost complete fragrance formula. The premise is one perfumer and one tycoon bound by scent and pact against a circle of betrayal, and the source closes on that unanswered question, so no ending is stated, though the uncle's secret is given as surfaced and the truth as unraveled. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is thirty-eight episodes, one of two entries at that length. The registry column lists 8 against the API's thirty-eight, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 956 views, tied at the bottom of the table, twentieth of twenty by catalog order, level with the entry one id below it under the same byline. The byline is Hooked In Seconds, the last of its six entries in this batch, all of them sourced, and the platform marks the series ongoing.
