The Vampire Prince's Human Bride

About this drama

The setup sounds like a horror story and then quietly isn't. The vampire prince Mars is rumored to have gone mad with bloodlust, and he's been imprisoned for a century by the usurper, the iron-fisted Queen Seraphina. Ellie, a human maid, accidentally wanders into the forbidden wing expecting to be executed, and instead is forced to become Mars's personal attendant. She endures his overwhelming presence and what the copy calls seemingly cruel torment, surviving in constant fear, until the detail that turns the whole story: she discovers a necklace she had lost three years earlier hidden beneath his pillow. From there the truth unpacks, Mars has feigned insanity for twelve years to evade assassination, concealing his true strength behind a violent facade, and in the ruthless royal court he regards Ellie as his only source of hope and salvation. The Queen's counterattack is brutal, she exiles Ellie to the deadly Siberian tundra and binds Mars in specially forged chains, imprisoning him once again. Ellie clings to the promise she made with Mars and fights to survive the frozen wilderness, and the copy gives Mars the sequence I'd keep above all the others, he breaks free and crawls barefoot across the snow for three days and three nights before finding her, barely alive. Then the hunters close in, Ellie is shot in the back while protecting Mars during an escape across a frozen lake, and seeing the woman he loves lying in a pool of blood, Mars finally casts aside his mask of madness. That's where the synopsis stops, mid-crisis, with the ending not provided by the official copy. Forty episodes, and the last stretch is unlisted territory.
