Burning Rules follows the story of Lee Heeseung, a successful yet arrogant businessman who reluctantly depends on his personal assistant, Jiya, to keep his life in order. Heeseung, who's used to being in control, resents having to rely on someone for even the smallest tasks, while Jiya is stuck managing a man who constantly forgets both work and personal commitments. Their dynamic is one of constant tension, rivalry, and sharp banter.
After a year of clashing personalities, they unexpectedly fall into a "friends with benefits" relationship with strict rules: no feelings, no complications. But their connection grows more intense, the lines between love and hate blur, and the rules are quickly broken. What starts as a competitive, chaotic partnership evolves into something deeper, forcing both Heeseung and Jiya to confront their feelings.
As the boundaries between fake dating, rivalry, and real emotions disappear, they are both forced to reckon with their own vulnerabilities, leading to a dramatic breaking point. In the end, they must decide whether to continue their passionate, tumultuous relationship or walk away-before the feelings they've been running from take over completely.
A sizzling slow-burn romance set in the high-pressure corporate world, full of angst, humor, emotional conflict, and a whole lot of chemistry.
In a modern South Korea battling population decline, the government launches a marriage program to pair unlikely candidates. Karina, a world-famous idol trapped by fame, is matched with Shin Hajin, a quiet café owner haunted by past trauma.
What begins as a forced arrangement under public scrutiny slowly turns into something deeper-Karina finding peace in his sincerity, and Hajin rediscovering warmth through her presence. But with secrets, fame, and societal pressure looming, they must decide: is this just obligation, or the chance for real love?

So, uhm, this is my first ever published novel. It wasn't grand but its kinda feel like an achievement to me. The other novels I wrote will most probably never see the light of day. Yeah... kinda awkward honestly. And reminder, English is not my first language. So bear with me.
I hope you guys enjoy reading this 'bizzare' story and I apologize in advance if I had disrespected anyone. If you have anything in mind, feel free to voice it out.
Thanks. Happy reading.
-yours sincerely,
