He suspects that "Khun Wa," his target, might be the cause of her death. Khun Wa is scarier than any ghost. "Did you kill him?" After asking, Montmas then looked up at Veroj's face, searching for any suspicion. Those sharp, hawk-like eyes met, like a predator eyeing a delicious meal. "What if I said yes? Aren't you afraid you'll be next?" One corner of his lips curved into a mocking smile. "With forests on both sides like this, if someone goes missing, no one might find them."

🌙 Prologue Bangkok, Thailand. A city of lights and shadows-where neon signs glow above streets painted with blood. The "Black Lotus Syndicate", the most feared mafia in Thailand, rules silently yet mercilessly. Its leader, Net Siraphop, is known as the untouchable king. With porcelain skin and a gaze that could freeze even the bravest, he is calm, calculated, and dangerously beautiful. People whisper his name with both fear and reverence. On the other side of the city lives JJ Radchapon, a sunshine boy. A college student with a smile so pure it feels like sunlight piercing through storm clouds. His dimples, warm laugh, and natural charm make him the center of every crowd. JJ's innocence draws people close-but hidden behind that glow, there are secrets even JJ himself tries to forget. When light collides with shadow, when innocence stumbles into danger-what happens when the coldest heart begins to burn for warmth?

JJ was thirteen when his world fell apart for the second time. After his father's death, life had already been cruel, but nothing compared to the man his mother remarried. His stepfather Pong's addictions turned their home into a living nightmare, where survival meant sacrifice, and hope slowly faded with his mother's weakening health. School became a memory, replaced by fear and responsibility far too heavy for a child. But nothing could prepare him for the day the debt collectors arrived. As Pong fell to his knees, desperate and shaking, he agreed to anything to stay alive. And under Night's cold gaze, JJ realized... he was the price.
