A Winrina AU wherein Karina Yu, the fierce and headstrong heiress of the Serenity Hotel, is forced into a marriage of convenience with Winter Kim - a composed, enigmatic woman sent by Karina's grandmother to save their crumbling empire. Cold glances and sharp words begin to melt into unspoken glimmers of understanding as Winter teaches Karina how to manage the business... and slowly, how to feel again. But secrets from the past linger in every corridor - from jealous suitors to buried scars - and when betrayal and danger strike, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. In a world where love is the last thing allowed, will they find a way to choose each other? This AU is inspired by the manhwa Serena by Ina. Disclaimer: This is a creative fusion of my imagination, the manhwa's themes, and the help of AI to refine grammar, wording, and flow. It's written purely for fun. If anything feels off or problematic, I'll either revise or move it to drafts. Also this story will only contain 10 chapters and an Epilogue:)

Summary: In the twisted heart of Hell, demons climb over one another for power, but Danielle Marsh is different. The daughter of Belphegor-the Demon Prince of Sloth-she is known as the "Sleepy Princess", a being of terrifying power and even more terrifying laziness. She refuses titles, responsibilities, or anything requiring more energy than a sigh. While her father sleeps on a throne of bones, Danielle dreams beneath dead stars, snoring through centuries of chaos. Frustrated by her refusal to contribute, the higher powers of Hell try to banish her to Earth-but she's too strong, too stubborn, and too sleepy to be moved. Until a wish breaks through the veil. Haerin Kang, a quiet, diligent high school girl, has reached her limit. Bruised by bullying, crushed by family expectations, and suffocating under pressure, she lights a forbidden candle and sells her soul, begging for someone-anyone-to save her. And someone comes. Danielle appears in her bedroom, yawning, barefoot, wrapped in a cloud of feathers, and demanding a place to nap. Haerin groans. She summoned a useless, nap-loving demon who won't even open her eyes, let alone exact revenge. But there's something strange about Danielle. She only glares when someone touches Haerin. She scorches entire skies when Haerin sheds a tear. And sometimes, in the quiet before sleep, she whispers Haerin's name like it's the only thing keeping her awake. Together, they must navigate high school, soul-binding contracts, and the terrifying bond forming between a girl who gave up-and a demon who just might care too much. But how do you love someone cursed to sleep through everything... except your pain?

She's all sunkissed skin, glossy lips, and golden-hour selfies. Everyone loves her.
