Weak Hero: Burned From Ashes - Geum Seongje

"To destroy the monster, I became one."

Jeon Chaerin never asked to be part of this world. After the death of her step-brother Na Baekjin, she's left with nothing but bruises, secrets, and a burning need for revenge. With her past buried in shadows and her future tied to the corrupt gang known as Union, she dives headfirst into the fight that took everything from her.

But vengeance comes at a cost.

To take down the Union from the inside, Chaerin must pass their brutal tests, gain their trust-and get close to Geum Seongje, their cold, calculating leader. He's everything she hates: powerful, merciless, and impossible to read. But behind the fights and blood lies something more dangerous than betrayal: a connection she didn't see coming.

As alliances shift and war brews on the streets, Chaerin must choose: burn with the fire of revenge, or rise from the ashes and rewrite her fate.

Enemies. Lovers. Survivors.

In this city, only the strongest make it out alive.
And she's not planning to die.
