Official story outline
Betrayed by her twin and left for dead, Princess Lyra wakes on her wedding day with a second chance. She abandons her cheating fiancé and weds the infamous Frost King—a cursed dragon chained in the dark Abyss. Everyone expects the monster to devour her. Instead, Lyra strikes a dangerous bargain to exact her revenge. But as she navigates a deadly game of power, she discovers the fallen king is the only one she can trust.
ShortDramaBuzz treats the listing synopsis as a dated source snapshot. When the official text is truncated, we stop at what is written rather than filling gaps from unofficial recaps.
Episodes and length
The official ShortMax record currently lists 34 episodes and about 71.5K public views (snapshot reviewed Nov 9, 2026). Overseas short-drama episodes are typically about one to three minutes each; that is an industry pattern, not a measured runtime for every episode of this title.
We do not republish a per-episode title list. Open the official listing for the live episode rail, unlock state, and any newly added chapters.

What the tags signal
- Rebirth gives the lead knowledge of an earlier outcome and turns repeated events into deliberate new choices.
- The fantasy elements should be read as story rules: power, prophecy, or transformation is likely to carry a cost.
Tags can overlap, so they describe conflict style more than quality or ending.
Rebirth themes around this title
Rebirth dramas give the protagonist information no one else has: memories of betrayal, disaster, or a life wasted on the wrong person. That advantage turns familiar scenes into strategic choices.
The premise overlaps with revenge and second chances, but its distinctive question is whether knowledge of the future can change the character as well as the outcome.
Fantasy themes around this title
Fantasy short dramas use magic, prophecy, monsters, or supernatural bloodlines to make inner conflict visible. A curse can embody inherited harm; a transformation can reveal identity; a quest can turn romance into a choice between worlds.
World-building is necessarily compressed, so clear rules matter. Companion tags such as dragon, chosen one, rebirth, or werewolf indicate the kind of fantasy on offer.
How to use this guide
Use the facts box for episode count, platform, and the official call to action. Use the outline for the premise the rights holder already published. Use genre links when you want adjacent titles with verified listings. Skip unofficial “ending explained” posts if you want to experience the series as released.
ShortDramaBuzz will not fabricate a cast list, episode-by-episode titles, or a completion status we cannot see in the structured listing. If the official app later expands the synopsis or changes monetization, those updates belong on ShortMax first; our source-reviewed timestamp shows when this snapshot was last checked.
