You, Before Everything: Velvet Domination

In a city where elegance masks corruption and loyalty is a currency few can afford, Rina Seo enters an arranged marriage with a man whose reputation is as terrifying as his power. She's brilliant, bold, and emotionally untouchable. He's cold, calculating, and dangerously obsessed with control.

Their union is forged not by love, but by necessity.

As they navigate a world of velvet-lined secrets, elite politics, and psychological warfare, they must decide whether to rule together... or destroy each other.

But in a society built on betrayal, the greatest threats aren't enemies.

They're the ones closest to you.

Velvet Domination is a slow-burn, high-stakes drama of obsession, power, and survival, where love isn't soft.
It's strategic.
