Karin's life was never fair. Her younger sister was always the one to take what she wanted-especially the man Karin had once dreamed of marrying. Now, her sister is about to marry the man Karin was meant to be with, and the bitterness stings more than ever.
But there's one thing Karin won't lose: the company she built from the ground up. To protect it, she needs someone more powerful than anything her sister could offer. And that person is Soul.
Soul, an elusive architecture student, is notorious for his failed arranged marriages-one every month, yet none actually happening. Karin sees an opportunity: If she can get Soul to marry her, she'll have the leverage she needs to take back what's rightfully hers.
But as their fake marriage turns into something real, Karin is forced to confront a question she never expected: Can love truly overcome the hatred that's built within her? And when everything they've built begins to crumble, will it be enough to save them both?
"If you can't take that back, I'll build you one, Karin. That building will bow down to a bigger one next to it-- a building that's yours only."

And still... still, I tried. I forgave. I brought you dinner, made you dance... and you still look at me like I'm a monster." "You're scaring me..." "Oh, am I?" His voice dropped to a mock-sweet tone. "Then maybe I should give you something real to fear." Before she could react, he shoved her back hard. She stumbled and hit the floor. He pulled out a silver lighter from his pocket, flicked it open with a metallic click, and tossed it to the carpet. "You don't want to be mine? Fine. Then you don't get to live at all." He turned and walked out as smoke curled around the room, leaving her screaming. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE!" No one came. She coughed violently, trying to see through the thick smoke. »»--⍟--«« She prayed without words, loved without hope, and survived without strength... until destiny sent her a miracle disguised as a man.

Duette Vol. 1
Once Upon a Time... There were twenty-five royal siblings, each a protector of their realm. But when a great shadow fell, twenty-four of them were lost. The youngest prince survived-but barely. Grieving and broken, he lost his leg... and still their was a kingdom that needed him to save them. A strange woman with ember eyes came to him then. She offered him a leg of tin-cold, powerful, and cursed. He stood, he fought, he won. But tin always takes. It stole his warmth, his tears, his time. Soon, the prince was more metal than man, and his heart slowed to silence. What he didn't know was that the woman was a fallen goddess-cast from the heavens for lacking twenty-five virtues. She had stolen one soul for each trait she lacked. Twenty-four were hers taken from his siblings. Only one remained: steadfastness. But when she reached for the prince's soul... it was gone. Long ago, a mourning architect and her wizard husband had made a fail safe should the goddess ever attempt to steal the 25 souls. They built a final guardian-a paper dancer placed in a music box of tin. Inside her, the prince's soul slept. As she stirred to life, she began to dream. And in her dreams, she met the prince-again and again, across lifetimes spun by the goddess. Though he slept, his soul still dreamed, and her dreams brushed his like feathers in the dark. She searched for him, across ash and ruin. And when she found him-tin cold and asleep-she kissed him. His soul returned, and he woke, human once more. But tin always takes as it gives and the time that had been wound up on her music box was coming to an end. The goddess appeared then, smiling. She offered the prince a cruel deal: twenty-five years together, in the waking world. Then 225 trapped in her stories, living whatever story she choose. And if the prince ever failed to remain steadfast his soul would belong to the goddess forever. The prince agreed. And so their story begins... again, and again, and again.Complete
