EMPIRE OF ASHES🦋- THV FF

"A crown forged in blood, a marriage built on hate, and a love buried under the ashes of the past."

To the brutal underground world, Kim Y/N is a storm wrapped in silk-the fiercely trained, lethal heiress to Kim Soo-jin's mafia faction, groomed from birth to become an unshakeable Mafia Queen. But behind closed doors, beneath the heavy velvet and sharp armor, lives a quiet, fragile girl who lost her mother at birth and carries the weight of a violent dynasty on her shoulders.

Kim Taehyung is the cold, dangerously calculating heir to Kim Jae-ha. Raised on bitter venom and taught by his mother to despise Y/N's very existence, he sees her as the living reminder of the betrayal that broke his family apart. Every encounter between them is a war of sharp words, icy glares, and suffocating tension.

When a ruthless rival mafia threatens to wipe out the Kim bloodline entirely, their fathers force a desperate move: unite the divided mafia families through a forced marriage.

No marriage, no coronation.

Coronated as King and Queen on the very night of their wedding, Taehyung and Y/N are thrust into a high-stakes war against external threats, internal sabotage, and a bitter mother-in-law determined to break her. But as bullets fly and blood spills, the sharp walls begin to crumble. Underneath the lethal weapon he was taught to hate, Taehyung begins to see the delicate, soft soul hiding in the shadows-and the cold hatred between them threatens to consume them both in a dangerous, burning obsession.
