Y/N grew up as the daughter of a powerful mafia family but spent her life trying to escape its shadow. Determined to build a normal life, Y/N chose isolation over inheritance-until one reckless decision during her first year of college left her a teenage mother of twins.
After dropping out, Y/N worked hard to raise her kids and build a quiet life far from the chaos of her family's underworld. But when her ex's selfishness finally pushes her to the brink, Y/N realizes she owes it to herself and her children to fight for a better future. With renewed resolve, she re-enrolls in college, determined to earn a degree and prove that her past doesn't define her.
Enter Professor Jeon Jungkook: brilliant, compassionate, and far too captivating. Bound by unspoken rules, he's off-limits. Yet Y/N finds herself drawn to him, as he sees her for who she really is-not a mob princess, but a woman with strength forged through hardship.
What Y/N doesn't know is Jungkook's true identity and intentions. Behind his calm facade lies a man deeply connected to the underworld she's tried to escape. He has his reasons for stepping into her life-reasons that could destroy everything she's worked for.
As if the world were against her, her ex reappears, determined to drag her back into chaos. With her past resurfacing and Jungkook's secrets coming to light, Y/N is caught in a web of betrayal, danger, and forbidden love.
Now, Y/N must navigate family loyalties, an unexpected love, and the ghosts of her past. Can she survive the unraveling of her carefully rebuilt world, or will her heart lead her straight into the fire?
Y/N, a simple woman, joins the deadly games to pay off debts after her mother's death. Young-Il, a heartless soul, controls the games, watching everything from afar while sipping on his glass of whisky.
But this year is different. When he spots Y/N, number 160, during the game of "Red Light, Green Light," he can't help but grow more obsessed with her.
The first game ends, and Young-Il decides it's time to join the games himself, meet her, and make her his forever. Not that he will allow anyone else to even look at her
But will Y/N really trust him?
