"Veil of Deception"| SeokSoo

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?
