In a world ruled by power and bloodlines, Hong Joshua was never meant to be controlled. A self-made business tycoon, brilliant, untouchable, and fiercely independent, he had everything-except a choice.
Forced into marriage with Lee Seokmin, a man who hates him without reason, Joshua finds himself trapped in a cold, loveless union. Seokmin is ruthless, powerful, and feared by many, yet the only thing he truly cares about is the daughter from his late wife, Layla.
To Seokmin, Joshua is nothing but an unwanted replacement. A stranger forced into his home, his life, his daughter's world. His heart is buried with his first love, and he has no intention of ever letting anyone in again.
But Joshua isn't just anyone.
He isn't weak.
And he won't let himself be destroyed by a man who refuses to see past his grief.
Their marriage was built on deals and duty.
But what happens when hatred starts to blur into something more dangerous?

King of Ruin | SS
Chaos and destruction. Two things Lee Seokmin despised more than anything. He thrived on control, on order, on things falling exactly into place. But everything unraveled the moment he laid eyes on him-his new husband. The brother of the man who was supposed to marry him. Joshua. "I know you hate pineapple, so I made sure to eat a lot. Imagine if we kissed right now... You might die," Joshua's voice was sweet, but the mischief in his eyes was undeniable as he leaned closer, his smirk dangerous. Seokmin's jaw tightened. No one could hear them, not their bickering, not their hate, and most importantly, not the way Seokmin's dead heart seemed to stir back to life. He hated chaos, but Joshua was chaos. And now, he was stuck with him. How was he supposed to navigate a life of perfect control with a husband who thrived on disorder? Would they ruin each other? Or was falling together inevitable?Complete

BOOK #2 They say love heals scars, but Seokmin's scars were lessons-bitter reminders that twisted him into a creature of darkness. His life was a series of brutal lessons that shaped him into someone who burns with an unquenchable fire. Protecting his brother-in-law's assistant was both his best and worst decision, a choice that bound him to Joshua in ways he could never escape. Joshua was his-body, mind, and soul. His to break, reshape, and claim. No one could alter that, not Joshua, not even Seokmin himself. Seokmin's voice was low, his breath hot against Joshua's skin as he spoke, "I've never craved anyone as much as I crave you." Joshua's eyes were wet with fear as he tried to pull away. "You don't love me. You're just obsessed. Let me go." Seokmin's grip tightened as he leaned in, pressing his lips to Joshua's in a kiss both tender and demanding. "I'll let you go," he whispered against Joshua's lips, "but only when my soul is ripped from this body. And even then, who knows? Maybe we're bound beyond this life."Complete

🥀 Description: In the ruthless world of organized power, marriage isn't about love. It's about legacy. Control. Survival. To preserve the balance between the two most feared mafia dynasties, a bold move is made-six arranged marriages, tying blood to blood and heart to heart, whether the hearts want it or not. On one side, the Kwon Syndicate-a family carved from chaos: Soonyoung, Seungcheol, Minghao, Mingyu, Vernon, and Jisoo-brothers bound by blood, violence, and an iron grip on the underworld. On the other, the cold and calculating Lee Family: Jihoon, Jeonghan, Jun, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, and Seokmin-heirs trained to rule with precision, raised to protect their empire at any cost.

Now, a new pact is struck: six strategic marriages to ensure loyalty and unity between the empires. The alliances are clear: 🔥 SoonHoon - hot-headed enforcer × genius tactician 💥 MinWon - flirty risk-taker × stoic sniper ♟ JeongCheol - silver-tongued manipulator × commanding leader 🌙 JunHao - quiet poison × beautiful blade 💍 SeokSoo - gentle mask × brutal heart ❤️ VerChanKwan - Spy Master x Tactical Combat Special x Negotiator-in-Training But love was never part of the deal.
