Isinilang mula sa isang ipinagbabawal na relasyon, lumaki ang malas-palad na Imperial Princess Talia Roem Gwirta sa mundong kailanman ay hindi siya tinanggap. Raised by parents who never cared, hated by her half-siblings, at minamaliit ng mga aliping tinitingnan siya na parang wala siyang halaga. Because of that, natuto si Talia na protektahan ang sarili. She built walls around her heart, tinakpan ang lahat ng sugat sa likod ng mataray at malamig na personalidad, pushing everyone away before they could hurt her. But then... May isang taong kayang sirain ang lahat ng pader na itinayo niya. Varkas Laedgo Siorcan. The noble heir of the East.

Mula pagkabata, lumaki siya sa ilalim ng malupit na training na halos maituturing nang abuso. Unti-unti nitong pinatay ang kanyang emosyon hanggang sa wala nang natira kundi ang isang lalaking nabubuhay para sa honor ng kanyang pamilya at sa tungkuling nakaatang sa kanya. To fulfill the final promise of the late Empress, napilitan siyang ipagkasundo sa nakatatandang half-sister ni Talia-Aila. Habang lumilipas ang bawat araw, unti-unting nadudurog ang puso ni Talia. Watching the man she loved with all her heart become someone else's slowly destroyed her from the inside. At kasabay ng pagkawala ng pag-asa... unti-unti ring gumuho ang mundong pilit niyang binubuo.

Serena Dela Cruz never thought her biggest problem in life would be getting lost on jeepney rides and accidentally entering the wrong place. Lutang, tatanga-tanga minsan, pero matalino sa oras ng klase at kung kinakailangan. She only wanted a quiet, ordinary life... until one wrong turn brought her face-to-face with the shadows of the underworld. Adrian Vitale, the cold and untouchable heir of a powerful mafia family, was never supposed to cross paths with her. His world runs on rules, danger, and blood. Hers is full of missed buses, random daydreams, and a heart that never learned to fear. But fate has a cruel way of binding two opposite souls together. When Serena accidentally stumbles into his world, she becomes a target. And the only way to keep her alive is to chain her to him-whether she likes it or not. Now, trapped between Blood and desire, Serena must learn to survive the dangers of Adrian's world... and the danger of falling for him.
