Ruin My Rules

Han Seo-jin has spent her whole life following one rule: don't embarrass the family empire-especially with her flawless older sister's wedding approaching. Then Choi Min-jae walks back into her life: her high-school rival with a reputation for trouble, a grin that dares consequences, and a private truth he hides behind swagger-he's the university's top student and an artist who paints Seoul landscapes and a certain someone. And he's the second son, the one who grew up outside the spotlight while his older brother played heir-so the rules never really applied to Min-jae. Freedom made him dangerous. Privilege made him reckless. And now he can't keep his mind off Seo-jin long enough to behave. Min-jae doesn't just tempt Seo-jin to break rules-he makes her crave it, like disobedience is the only honest thing left. But Seo-jin's mother isn't fooled by his charm; she tightens the leash, issues quiet ultimatums, and does everything she can to keep Min-jae out of Seo-jin's orbit. The more they're pushed apart, the more vicious their pull becomes-predatory, possessive, and impossible to hide. Because in a world where love is leverage and reputation is currency, wanting him isn't the problem. It's what she's willing to ruin to keep him.
