💔💍 Story Premise
YN was raised knowing she'd one day marry into the powerful Jeon family -
a deal struck between two wealthy empires when she was just a baby.
She expected to marry Rayan Jeon - the charming heir with perfect smiles and perfect lies.
But on the wedding day... it's not Rayan waiting at the altar.
It's Jungkook Jeon - the older, reclusive brother, long presumed dead, burned in a fire no one talks about.
Scarred inside and out.
The family's disgrace.
The true heir.
And he's here to collect what was promised to him.
> "You were never meant for him, YN. You were always mine."

🧨 Twist
Jungkook believes YN's father was behind the fire that destroyed his life.
Marrying her is his revenge -
but loving her becomes his downfall.
She was taught to fear him.
But she finds herself drawn to his silence,
his scars,
and the way he watches her like she's both a threat... and a lifeline.
And the more she uncovers the truth,
the more she begins to wonder:
> Was she just a pawn in this game...
or was she always the queen?
🕯️ Mini Prologue
> The room was too quiet for a bride.
YN's fingers trembled over the silk veil, heart stammering in a dress that wasn't hers to choose.
> "Rayan's running late," they whispered. "Just nerves."
But when the church doors creaked open, it wasn't Rayan's golden grin that met her.
It was him.
Jungkook.
Dressed in black.
With shadows in his eyes and a voice like smoke.
> "You'll marry me instead," he said coldly. "Or your family loses everything."
She opened her mouth to scream.
But she'd never been taught how to say no.
