She is an intelligence agent trained to be merciless, a ghost in the system with ice running through her veins. Known only by her codename, she was forged to hunt shadows, dismantle empires, and never let emotion stain the mission. To her, names are just targets, and feelings are nothing more than fatal flaws.
He is the cold-blooded leader of the most feared mafia syndicate in the world - ruthless, untouchable, and a king built on blood. To the world, he is the embodiment of sin and power. To her, he is the enemy she was born to destroy. But beneath the smoke of gunfire and the weight of his empire, lies a secret buried so deep it could burn nations: he isn't just the villain - he's someone opposite to that.
When their worlds collide, her mission becomes her undoing. Every encounter is a battlefield - of bullets, of words, of unspoken truths. The more she hunts him, the more she uncovers threads of betrayal woven by hands far above them both. And the closer she gets to him, the more the line blurs between duty and desire, between loyalty and destruction.
In a war where both are pawns disguised as kings, trust is the most dangerous weapon. And in the end, ice can shatter, fire can consume, and even the coldest hearts can bleed.
