"Her eyes were the only reason he didn't kill her the first time they met, they held nothing he wanted to steal, nothing worth taking, anything valuable she hid too well."
Baek Nari, a young woman scarred by years of abuse, moves from her poverty-stricken village to the capital city of Pyongyang, seeking a better life through education. Her heart is numb, and her eyes reflect the emptiness of her past. But everything changes when she meets Gwang-ill, a breathtakingly beautiful and mysterious boy who draws her in with an undeniable magnetism.
What Nari doesn't know is that Gwang-ill is the city's infamous serial killer, known for his brutal murders committed with a pack of equally ruthless friends. However, when he locks eyes with Nari, he sees something different-her lifeless gaze mirrors his own emptiness. For reasons he cannot explain, he spares her life, sparking an intense and dangerous connection between them.
As their bond deepens, Nari finds herself drawn to him despite his dark nature, awakening emotions she thought long dead. But as Gwang-ill's obsession with her grows, so does the danger surrounding them. Nari must face a chilling reality: can their love blossom in the shadow of death, or will she become just another victim in his path? Tainted is a haunting tale of love, obsession, and the fine line between survival and destruction.

The Kim Syndicate
Kim Syndicate: Tainted Vows About the Story: In a world ruled by power, blood, and unspoken vows, innocence becomes the first casualty. Y/n, a soft-spoken, innocent orphan working quietly in a small café, never dreamed of crossing paths with the infamous Kim Syndicate-the most feared mafia family in South Korea. But fate had a cruel twist planned. On the eve of a grand mafia wedding, Jennie Kim, the family's perfect bride-to-be, escapes, leaving the youngest heir, Kim Taehyung, humiliated at the altar. Desperate to save their family's pride, the cold-blooded patriarch, Kim Gwanho, orders his men to bring in a substitute bride before sunrise. That's how Y/n-frightened, innocent, and unaware of the storm she's stepping into-finds herself forced into a marriage she never wanted, wearing a luxury gown that feels more like chains. To the world, she becomes Mrs. Kim Taehyung. To the Kim family, she's an unworthy imposter-a poor girl wearing a crown meant for someone else. Taehyung despises her, seeing her as nothing but a puppet in his father's game. His cold stares and bitter words become her everyday reality. But Y/n, though fragile on the outside, possesses a quiet strength that even she doesn't know. As the walls of the Kim mansion close in on her, she learns that survival isn't always about fighting back-it's about enduring. Surrounded by venomous whispers, family betrayals, and a husband who refuses to see her worth, Y/n's journey becomes a silent rebellion-a war waged with kindness, patience, and an innocent heart that refuses to be tainted. But how long can innocence survive in a world built on tainted vows?

And Yevgeny will only help Taekjoo if he agrees to go on thirty dates with him. Join the corrupt lawyer as he embarks on a twisted journey of redemption, romance, lies, and internal conflict - all while fighting for what he's always believed in: It's better to be corrupt in a Lamborghini than to be righteous on the street.
