"I didn't come here to find love. I came to find the truth and anyone in my way is just another target."
At Saint Jude International University, the hierarchy is simple: wealth is power, and Kenji Sato, the 4th-year Engineering "King" and heir to Asia's most brutal mafia, sits at the throne. No one dares to breathe near him except for Aria, the mysterious 1st-year IT scholar who lives in the shadows, enduring the school's ruthless bullies with a silence that feels almost... dangerous.
But Aria is a lie.
She isn't just a poor orphan. She is the lost heiress of the Romanovs, the strongest mafia bloodline in the world a family so powerful they make Kenji's empire look like a playground. Trained since birth and hidden in the Philippines after a bloody betrayal, Aria has spent ten years scrubbing her digital footprint, becoming a ghost that even the best hackers can't find.
When a violent turf war spills onto campus, Kenji is saved by a girl with the reflexes of an assassin and the eyes of a queen. He becomes obsessed with finding her, never realizing that the "helpless" scholar he's trying to protect is actually the one keeping him alive from the dark.
But a secret blood pact made by their mothers years ago is about to surface. As the world's strongest brother arrives with a fleet of warships to take his sister back, Kenji realizes he's not just in love with a scholar he's in love with the only woman who can destroy him.
One is the Dragon of the East.
The other is the Queen of the World.
In a game of blood and code, who will be the first to kneel?
