Heartless || Han Soo-Kang || Brave Citizen

One was a failed Olympic star who learned to walk through fire; the other was a crown prince who set the world ablaze just to watch it burn.

Lee Ara was the nation's pride until a sacrifice made her give up her dream, hiding her scars behind the podium of a university lecture hall. She sought a quiet life.

Han Soo-kang, the lethal heir to the Han Estate Group, rules the campus with an iron fist and a heart of stone. He is a man who finds a sick satisfaction in the chaos he creates; to him, the copper scent of blood on his hands is more intoxicating than any wine, and the desperate cries of those he breaks are the only melody he enjoys.

When their worlds collide, Ara becomes the only person brave enough to challenge his tyranny, sparking a dangerous war of wills that will either break them both or be the only thing that saves his soul.

"Don't you feel remorse? Don't you feel the hurt you've caused them?" she whispered, gesturing to the chaos he had caused.

Soo-kang tilted his head, a slow, chilling laugh escaping his lips as he stepped into her personal space.
"Are you still trying to find a heart in me, Professor?" he asked, his voice a low, dangerous silk. "Then you're wasting your time. I don't feel hurt for anyone."

He leans his face inches away from her, "I'm heartless."
