Rayne never wanted to get married; he was deeply in love with Iosif. But fate had other plans for him. On the day of his blind date, he discovered that his boyfriend was cheating on him with his best friend, Ken. The betrayal shattered him from the inside, and in a moment of heartbreak, he instantly agreed to the marriage, without knowing that the alpha he was about to marry was the most dangerous Yakuza.

"Marry me." He said it like he was ordering coffee. Calm and fucking certain. "Like hell I will, bastard." "Let me rephrase, Mr. Lantsov." His eyes sharp enough to draw blood. "If you want Project Athena, you will marry me." "Wh-what?" My laugh cracked somewhere between disbelief and panic. "Have you lost your mind!" He took a step closer, slow, deliberate. "It's a business arrangement. You're good at faking, aren't you?" I scoffed. "Faking? You-you'll be the one faking shit. You have a damn girlfriend, asshole." His smile didn't reach his eyes. "That's my issue, not yours." "And what's mine?" "Saying yes before I decide you no longer have a choice." ------- CHECKMATE CHRONICLES (The Art of Deception) Two corporations. Two kings. One throne no one's willing to share. Asael Lantsov is fire - reckless, untamed, impossible to cage. Isaac Warren is ice - controlled, calculating, deadly when provoked. A reckless heir who treats chaos like oxygen. A control freak who counts every molecule of it. They were meant to compete, not collide. But when the world's most expensive tech project - Project Athena - forces their companies into a joint venture, rivalry turns into a war behind polished smiles and billion-dollar contracts. And the final move? A legal marriage binding their corporations and maybe their lives for two years. Enemies by history. Lovers by law. Bound by a contract neither can escape. In a game where every secret could cost the world its freedom, love isn't the endgame - it's the most dangerous weapon of all. When fire meets ice, chaos reigns. And in their world, checkmate isn't just the end- it's the beginning.

Love and betrayal two sides of the same coin. Jeonghan and Seungcheol were never meant to be in each other's lives again. Not after everything that happened. Yet fate pulls them back together, bound by a Rope neither of them truly wanted and a past neither of them can forget. Under the surface of their cold stares and sharp words lies something more dangerous than hatred unspoken truths, buried wounds, and a pull neither of them can resist. But in a game where loyalty is at stake and revenge is inevitable, who will be the first to fall? Revenge is a slow poison, and where betrayal is a wound that never truly heals.. How much is too much before everything shatters? Some things were never meant to be forgiven. And some hearts were never meant to be saved.

Ye Zhiqiu was radiant and bold, proud and unrestrained, but it wasn't until the brink of death that he realized his entire life had been a deceitful charade. His malicious stepmother alienated him from everyone; his trusted friend betrayed him without mercy; and Qi Xin, whom he loved for so many years, harbored ill intentions from the start, aiming only to ruin his life. For Qi Xin's sake, Ye Zhiqiu suppressed his rebellious nature, abandoned his career and social circle, and became a gentle and understanding lover. Yet, after being drained of all worth and reduced to nothing by psychological manipulation, he received nothing more than a cold divorce notice and Qi Xin's words- "I'm tired. I want to give him a home. Let's get divorced." Ye Zhiqiu finally understood that Qi Xin had always cherished an unattainable love. And he, he was merely a guaranteed win, the perfect substitute for Qi Xin's unrequited love. Carrying all his resentment, Ye Zhiqiu plunged into the icy depths of the lake. When he awoke again, it was ten years in the past. Back at the night he first met Qi Xin. Ye Zhiqiu's revenge began. He stripped his stepmother of everything, sending her biological child to prison, He ruined his friend's future, leaving him disgraced, despised, and cornered, He broke Qi Xin down just as he had been broken, stripping him of dignity and dreams, making him beg at his feet... Qi Xin approached Ye Zhiqiu with malice, never expecting to fall madly in love. He was willing to be the groveling dog at Ye Zhiqiu's feet, the receptacle of his unpredictable ire. But when he frantically searched through the pouring rain, he saw only a black umbrella in the dim light. Underneath, a long, strong arm encircled Ye Zhiqiu's slender waist, pulling him into a car, where he was kissed passionately. And the man holding the umbrella was someone he could hardly dare to imagine.

Then, I'll let you do whatever you want."
