Taehyung built his kingdom from silence and sin. He was but a man who looked like a god and sinned like the devil. And then she arrived-uninvited, unwanted, unforgettable. He should have broken her. But she didn't shatter. She wasn't supposed to mean anything. They weren't written in the stars. They were scribbled in the ash from hell. Taehyung doesn't believe in love. Haneul doesn't believe in forgiveness. Trapped in a game neither of them chose, they must navigate obsession, power, betrayal-and the dangerous desire that binds enemies tighter than lovers. She's not looking for a hero. He's never played the part. But some love stories aren't meant to be clean. Some were written to be survived. Taehyung offers her safety with shackles. Luxury with manipulation. Love... with destruction. And in the glittering halls of his empire, Haneul must decide: is he her captor, her punishment, or her salvation?
