Crimson Camellia follows Lexia Yukimura, the beautiful and untouchable heir to Japan's most powerful Yakuza clan. By day, she is the poised president of her university's student council, balancing academic responsibilities with her ruthless ambitions. By night, she rules with an iron fist in the shadows, maintaining the family's criminal empire. When a quiet girl named Hanae enters her life, Lexia's carefully built walls begin to crumble, threatening the dominance she's fought to uphold. Amid a world of loyalty, betrayal, and power, Lexia must confront a forbidden softness in her heart, torn between the legacy of her father and the woman she secretly longs to become. Crimson Camellia is a slow-burn tale of forbidden love, power, and self-discovery in a world where strength is paramount-but love may be the ultimate test of all.
