Loud, clumsy, and far too talkative for someone working under the famously silent Yoon Jeonghan, he is the exact opposite of everything Jeonghan stands for.

Who, other than Jeonghan-the man who loved Byul like a mother and loves Soojin like a father? But when the suggestion arises that Jeonghan marry Seungcheol-his sister's husband, Korea's most powerful CEO, and the man who terrifies and captivates him in equal measure-he is forced to confront a future where love, grief, and guilt blur into something unthinkably tender.

Seungcheol was living a normal life-normal according to society, according to himself. A stable job, a place to live, and a loving, beautiful wife. Not bad, right? Everyone wants that life. But everything changes when he sees two guys kissing. Not as a joke, not drunk-just them, drowning in their desire.

The last time Seungcheol had seen Jeonghan was on a date, at his dorm. Jeonghan had sneaked out from his own and had snuck into Seungcheol's for a late night movie night on Seungcheol's new laptop.

The next time, he sees him at a dilapidated building, with his forehead caked in blood and eyes looking at him like he was the last thing he had wished to see.

The brutal underworld of Seoul's mafia empires, peace comes at a price no one wants to pay. Yoon Jeonghan-ethereal, untouchable, the deadly beautiful heir of the Yoon syndicate-has always been a weapon disguised as a treasure. Known for his silver tongue and razor-sharp mind, he's never bowed to anyone. Until now. To end a decade of bloodshed, the rival Choi family demands a sacrifice: Jeonghan's hand in marriage to their ruthless boss, Choi Seungcheol. Seungcheol is ice-cold power incarnate. Feared. Worshipped. Untouchable. He accepts the marriage not for love, but for control. Jeonghan is nothing more than a pretty hostage, a fragile bird to lock in a gilded cage. He'll break him if he has to. Silence him. Own him. But Jeonghan doesn't break. He fights. He teases. He seduces. He digs under Seungcheol's iron walls with every smirk, every whispered provocation, every defiant glance. What begins as hatred and contempt ignites into something far more dangerous: obsession. Seungcheol's grip tightens. "You're mine now. Mine to ruin. Mine to keep." Jeonghan smiles like an angel and whispers back, "Then ruin me, husband. But be careful-I bite." In a world of blood, betrayal, and bullets, two monsters learn that the most dangerous chain isn't made of steel... ...it's made of desire.
