Alice Morise is a 26-year-old mafia queen who commands respect and fear in equal measure. Born into the dangerous world of organized crime in England, she inherited her family's empire at a young age, quickly gaining a reputation as a cunning and ruthless leader. With sharp features and piercing green eyes that seem to see through any lie, Alice carries herself with a confidence that makes her impossible to ignore. Her long, dark auburn hair often cascades over her shoulders, a striking contrast to her typically sleek, tailored outfits that blend practicality with elegance.
Despite her tough exterior, Alice harbors a fierce loyalty to her people. When several of her most trusted members go missing under suspicious circumstances, she doesn't hesitate to leave the safety of her empire and travel to Japan to find them. Adopting the timid persona of Liliana Gray, Alice conceals her sharp mind and steel resolve, pretending to be a frightened, harmless woman as she navigates unfamiliar territory.
Her plan takes a dramatic turn when she accidentally breaks a priceless vase during a party at the luxurious Tres Spades Hotel. Forced onto the auction block to replace the stolen artifact, Alice finds herself bought by Eisuke Ichinomiya, the enigmatic and infuriatingly arrogant owner of the hotel and the Ichinomiya Group.
Eisuke is her opposite in many ways-controlled, calculating, and used to getting exactly what he wants without compromise. Sparks fly as the two clash, with Alice's fiery temperament and fierce independence often clashing with Eisuke's controlling demeanor and cold pragmatism. Yet, beneath the arguments and power struggles, a deep connection begins to form.
Alice Morise might be a queen in her own right, but love with Eisuke Ichinomiya is a battle she never expected to fight-and one that might change both of their lives forever.
