Dragon’s Scale

Pitaya, a lowly dragon fruit, is betrayed by her studio supervisor Caramel and rival Strawberry—peeled alive, juiced in an underground factory, and left for dead. After her mother's life support is cut, Pitaya awakens in a storm, reborn with metallic scales and deadly venom. She claws her way back to Hollywood, lands the lead role, and survives a fifty-meter fall, a brutal torture scene, and a high-speed assassination attempt. With the backing of media mogul Madam Wine, she exposes Caramel and Strawberry's crimes at the Golden Candy Awards. Emerging victorious, Pitaya proves that true strength lies not in origins, but in resilience, sacrifice, and the refusal to bow.
