Million won mercy
"The world sees a monster. The baby sees a father. But what will she see?"
In the neon-lit heart of Seoul, Jeon Jungkook is a name whispered with equal parts reverence and terror. He is the dual-faced king of the city-a ruthless CEO by day and a cold-blooded Mafia legend by night. He lives by two rules: never leave your signature weapon behind, and never show a crack in the armor. His heart is a frozen fortress, reinforced by the tragic loss of his brother and the weight of a secret daughter, Jihyo, who calls him 'Appa' while the rest of the world trembles at his feet.
Enter Lee Y/N, a girl whose life is a quiet battle against the cruelty of a stepmother's greed and the crushing weight of childhood trauma. Brilliant, soft-hearted, and terrified of the dark, Y/N's only goal is to make her loving father proud. When her college senior hand-picks her to be the successor to the "most dangerous desk in Korea"-the Secretary to Jeon Jungkook-she thinks she's prepared for the workload. She isn't prepared for the man.
The office is a place of cold glass and sharp suits until a nine-month-old miracle arrives, screaming for a comfort that even the Mafia King cannot provide. One look at Y/N, and the baby's tears turn to giggles. One touch, and the "Ice King's" world shifts on its axis.
When Jungkook presents Y/N with a life-altering contract-demanding she move into his fortress-like mansion to care for Jihyo-the stakes become lethal. Driven by her stepmother's insatiable greed and her own blooming affection for the motherless child, Y/N enters a world where shadows hide more than just spiders, and the man she works for is the most dangerous shadow of all.
But in a house filled with secrets, how long can she stay "just the secretary"? And when the darkness she fears finally closes in, will the man with the silver gun be her captor, or her protector?
