Falling for the Elf Herder Daddy

Their father has Naya and Vivian choose husbands from photographs. Vivian secretly rigs the draw, and Naya is forced into a betrothal with the poor herder Revan while Vivian claims the noble match. Before Naya leaves, a man sent by Vivian arrives, vowing to ruin her before the wedding.

Naya is rescued by a stranger and accidentally gives away her first kiss. Distraught, she says it was meant for her husband Revan. The man then reveals he is Revan himself.

Revan summons his beast Jeff, and Naya rides it back to his herder home. Meanwhile, Sarali is bullied by Phil and Miller, and Nanun uses the moment to claim she has already ruined nine of Revan's marriages through Sarali. When Revan arrives with Naya, Sarali sees her as the tenth evil stepmother.

Revan asks Naya to change into his clothes and look after Sarali while he goes out. Alone, Naya reflects that this simple home feels warmer than the cold castle she grew up in, and realizes the rude herder is actually a strikingly handsome elf. Revan finds himself caring about the way she looks at him.

Sarali fears Revan will abandon her for his new wife, but he reassures her. Naya does Sarali's hair and offers a potion to heal her throat, only for Nanun to storm in and accuse Naya of poisoning the child, claiming she is Revan's lover and the true mistress of the house. Meanwhile, elven envoys intercept Revan and demand he return to take the throne; he refuses, then hears Sarali's cry for help.

Sarali cries for help as Nanun pushes her from a height. Nanun claims she alone knows what is best for Sarali, accuses Naya of trying to kill the child, declares herself Sarali's mother, and orders Naya to leave.

Nanun accuses Naya of poisoning Sarali and forcing her to ride a sky beast. Revan believes the accusations and orders Naya to leave. Sarali suddenly speaks, revealing that Nanun was the one who forced her, and begs Naya to stay.

Sarali suddenly speaks, clearing Naya of any wrongdoing. Revan realizes his mistake and apologizes to Naya, asking for her forgiveness. Naya reassures Sarali that she is not angry.

Naya tells Revan she wants to be a good wife and mother, and is willing to take her time. She reads Sarali a bedtime story and falls asleep from exhaustion. Revan holds her in his arms, and Naya wakes up flustered, asking him to put her down.

Naya trembles with nerves, and Revan gently promises to wait until she is truly ready. The next day they go into the mountains to gather herbs for Sarali's throat, and Naya is captivated by the forest's beauty. Just as she spots the healing herbs, Revan shouts for her to move.

Revan is bitten by a snake and falls unconscious. Naya risks herself by sucking the venom from his wound. When Revan wakes, he briefly misunderstands her actions before softening. Night forces them to stay in the mountains, where he holds her close and thanks her for gathering herbs for Sarali.

Naya takes Sarali to practice archery and accidentally summons a dragon. Revan is stunned, knowing only the elven royal family and the Silver Branch Clan possess that power. After Sarali hits her target, a stranger appears and demands to know who stole his kill.

Phil claims he shot the bird and tries to push Sarali aside. Sarali refuses to back down and shoots him with an arrow. Enraged, Phil threatens to throw her into the ocean, but Naya arrives in time to save her and demands to know who dared bully her daughter.

After Naya disciplines Phil and Miller for bullying Sarali, Phil complains to his mother Nanun. Nanun accuses Naya of stealing Revan and now bullying her son. Naya counters that Phil started it. Furious, Nanun challenges Naya, who stands her ground and prepares to fight.

Nanun insists on fighting Naya to avenge her son Phil. Naya offers to let it go, but Nanun refuses to back down. Naya finally accepts the challenge, sends a frightened Sarali to safety behind a rock, and prepares to face Nanun alone.

Lukes notices Naya wearing the same silver branch necklace as Revan and tests a strand of her hair, confirming she carries the clan's green life energy. He orders Alice to bring Revan and Naya back at once. Meanwhile, Naya faces Nanun and declares she is kicking her off the land.

Naya fires an arrow straight through the target, shocking everyone. Enraged, Nanun vows to drag her to hell at any cost and orders her followers to attack. Amid the chaos, Phil suddenly shouts a warning to his mother.

Sarali suddenly calls Naya Mom and thanks her for protecting her, her voice fully returned. Nanun seizes Sarali, hoping to force Revan into marriage. Naya invokes the Silver Branch secret art of summoning forest energy and demands Nanun pay for what she has done.

Naya warns Nanun and her children to stay away from Sarali or face death, then sends them off. Sarali calls Naya Mom, and Revan thanks Naya, calling her his destined bride. Alice makes Revan his childhood favorite peanut butter sandwich. Naya sees their closeness and grows suspicious.

Naya wakes to meet Alice, who introduces herself as family to Revan and Sarali and mentions an old quarrel about leaving the palace. Watching their familiar exchange, Naya senses a deep history between them and begins to suspect Alice might be Sarali's real mother.

At the table, Alice points out that Revan and Sarali are allergic to escargot, leaving Naya embarrassed. The easy familiarity between Alice and Revan makes Naya feel like an outsider. After excusing herself, she concludes that Sarali's real mother has returned and that her own marriage to Revan is only a contract, so she asks him for a divorce.

Naya asks for a divorce and Revan demands to know why. She accuses him of seeing her only as a tool to care for Sarali. Revan admits that anyone who could heal and stay with Sarali would have worked, even Vivian. Heartbroken, Naya says she regrets the marriage.

Naya is determined to divorce. Sarali tearfully pleads with her not to leave. Naya tells Sarali that Revan loves Alice and she means nothing to him. Revan is stunned and demands to know what she is talking about.

As Naya tries to leave, Nanun traps her with special vines that suppress elven power. Nanun claims every thorn is soaked in poison and threatens to rot Naya's body with a snap of her fingers, vowing to kill her and take back Revan.

Nanun attacks Naya with a demonic sword, and Revan steps in to stop her. When Nanun mocks him as a mere herder, Revan unleashes a sudden burst of power that throws her back, leaving her stunned that he is no ordinary man.

Nanun is stunned to learn Revan is the Elven Prince and is ordered to leave. After Naya wakes, Revan confesses his feelings, saying she is the only woman he loves. When Naya brings up Alice, Revan explains Alice is merely his sister, clearing up the misunderstanding.

Naya learns Revan has loved only her, and that Sarali is an orphan he rescued in the forest. Revan then reveals Naya is the lost heiress of the Silver Branch Clan, meaning their arranged marriage was always meant to be.

Naya wakes and apologizes to Alice, learning she is indeed the Silver Branch heir. Alice explains Naya's grandfather sent her, with the necklace as proof. Naya discovers the necklace is gone, while Vivian secretly takes it. A strange old man appears, saying he has finally found her.

The old man confirms Naya is the Silver Branch heir and sets out to find Revan. Overhearing this, Vivian decides to impersonate Naya and rushes to claim the old man as her grandfather. Mistaking Nanun for his long-lost granddaughter, he announces she is Revan's fiancée.

Revan exposes Nanun's impersonation, but Lukes refuses to believe him. Nanun feigns willingness to give up the engagement. Lukes demands Revan choose between the Silver Branch clan's full support and Naya.

Revan declares Naya his only wife, even if it costs him the throne. Nanun demands to know what Naya has that she lacks. In a critical moment, Naya summons a dragon, and Lukes recognizes the act as proof of Silver Branch blood. Spotting her necklace, he confirms Naya is the clan's true heir.

Revan refuses to speak for Nanun, banishes her from the Elven Kingdom, and strips her of all magic. Alice apologizes to Naya for believing Nanun's lies. Revan promises Naya the most romantic wedding, and Lukes entrusts his granddaughter to him.
