Lieutenant General Min

"He was the Crown's deadliest weapon. She was the soul of the revolution. And yet, in a quiet library corner, their story began with a name that wasn't real."

India, 1942 - a nation on the edge of uprising.
Lieutenant General Min, a feared and decorated British officer, has never questioned his loyalty to the Empire. Until he sees her - Chandni, a fierce, freedom-bleeding girl who reads novels like it's protest and speaks like every word is a spark.

He sheds his uniform and wears a mask - Yoongi Min, a soft-spoken drama artist, a lover of books, a stranger unmarked by war. But what begins as a game of deception turns into something dangerously real.

As love deepens, so does the guilt.

Because every secret he keeps is a dagger. And the closer he draws to her, the more he's torn between two worlds - one written in duty, the other in dreams.

But in a land where betrayal is survival and trust is a luxury, how long can love built on lies truly last?

"Lieutenant General Min" is a haunting tale of duality - of a soldier torn between the empire he serves and the woman who makes him want to burn it down.
