When the boy cursed with ebony hair known as the Darkened (Son), Malo Liefos, recently lost his mother and is now at risk to being sold to slavery by the merchant family that took his family in, he tries to take the easy way out and climb the nearest mountain on a cold blizzard night, hoping to meet his mother once more in the afterlife. Instead, however, he meets the 'Evil' Black Dragon, Zalithas, who was found sealed in the mountain by the country's hero from many years ago. After being set free, Zalithas offers Malo a wish as thanks, and the thing he wished for is ... for her to be his wife?

Now, with the all powerful Dragon taking on the role as the Darkened's wife, she helps him gain great power that he thought he didn't have because of the curse, and promises train him in how to properly harness it. With the Darkened promising to protect his new wife in exchange, will he change the fate of his kingdom to be one with peace as its hero? Or will he make the kingdom who despised his kind as the Darkened, into one he leads as its new king to conquer all who challenge him? With the powers of his Unique Skill: [Essence of Tainted Conquest], allowing him to take skills from Artifacts and inherit copies of skills from the women he's bedded with while making them his lovers, it's hard to say!
