The Siren's Captive ll chanmin/ Seungchan

Long ago, the legendary pirate Captain Bang Chan, master of the fearsome ship Black Pearl, stole the sacred jewel known as "The Heart of Thalassia" - a crystal born from the ocean goddess's own tears. The gem granted eternal fortune to its bearer, but when greed replaced reverence, the goddess herself cursed Chan and his crew. The Black Pearl was cast adrift between life and death, doomed to crumble when the next full moon rose - unless the Heart was returned to its rightful depths.

Centuries later, whispers spread across the sea: the Heart lies hidden in The Abyssal Grave, a forbidden trench where even light dares not linger. No human has ever returned from it. Only royal merfolk, born of divine waters, know the way.

That's when Chan makes his most reckless move yet - kidnapping Seungmin, the most beautiful mermaid of the royal clan, with scales that shimmer like moonlight and eyes said to mirror the goddess's own. To the pirates, he's a hostage. To Chan, he's the key to redemption - or ruin.

As the full moon draws near, a fragile bond begins to bloom between the cursed captain and his captive. But Seungmin hides secrets of his own - the Heart may not be lost at all, and the curse that binds Chan might be deeper than he knows.

When love begins to rival destiny and the waves turn crimson under the moonlight, one question remains:
Will Seungmin save him... or drown him with the ocean's wrath?
