Serenity's Price

A Winrina AU wherein Karina Yu, the fierce and headstrong heiress of the Serenity Hotel, is forced into a marriage of convenience with Winter Kim - a composed, enigmatic woman sent by Karina's grandmother to save their crumbling empire. Cold glances and sharp words begin to melt into unspoken glimmers of understanding as Winter teaches Karina how to manage the business... and slowly, how to feel again.

But secrets from the past linger in every corridor - from jealous suitors to buried scars - and when betrayal and danger strike, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.

In a world where love is the last thing allowed, will they find a way to choose each other?

This AU is inspired by the manhwa Serena by Ina.

Disclaimer: This is a creative fusion of my imagination, the manhwa's themes, and the help of AI to refine grammar, wording, and flow. It's written purely for fun. If anything feels off or problematic, I'll either revise or move it to drafts. Also this story will only contain 10 chapters and an Epilogue:)
