Shinryujin Stories

Yeji always thought the world would end in fire, or maybe in a flood. But when it came, the end was quiet-broken only by the groans of the dead. They rose in many forms: the stiffs, the lurkers, and the relentless swarmers that consumed entire streets. Humanity didn't fall in a single night. Piece by piece, it unraveled. And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

In the glittering world of Korean chaebol families, Shin Ryujin-rebellious heir to Shin Media-faces an arranged marriage to secure a powerful alliance with Hwang Tech. Furious at being treated like a business asset, especially after a painful recent breakup, Ryujin reluctantly agrees to one meeting with her intended: Hwang Yeji, the poised and elegant heiress who appears every bit the perfect corporate princess. Defying expectations and her father's orders for formality, Ryujin shows up in casual streetwear, determined to test Yeji's true nature. To her surprise, Yeji isn't cold or arrogant-she's warm, genuine, and refreshingly open to ditching protocol for a "normal" outing to the mall, complete with greasy street food and playful banter over snacks. As the two heirs from rival empires share laughs and honest conversations in Seoul traffic, what begins as a forced corporate merger sparks unexpected chemistry. Ryujin's guarded heart starts to thaw, while Yeji reveals a side far removed from boardroom ice. Amid family pressures, past heartbreaks, and the weight of legacy, this unlikely first date hints that their arranged union might become something real-and dangerously irresistible. A light-hearted, slow-burn Ryeji (ITZY's Ryujin x Yeji) arranged-marriage AU blending chaebol drama, banter, and budding romance.

One man enters a bar. His handsome face is on posters, on the news. A famous hustler, as he likes to call himself. He sees a detective, a prizefighter, a delegate, a spy, an archeologist, a psychiatrist and a fashion designer. Very different people, but with one common goal: to get their greedy hands on the Tartaruga, the biggest diamond in the country. They join forces and concoct a flawless plan. The stakes? High. The consequences? Massive. The condition? None of them can reach out to the others once the robbery is done. Can they pull it off or will someone cave in?

But moving on isn't easy when the ghosts of the past still linger, and the spotlight threatens to expose everything they've built together. Can a broken hearts find their way back to happiness? Or will the weight of their worlds tear them apart before they ever get the chance?

Truths once guarded with fierce determination are laid bare, exposing the wounds, fears, and memories hidden between the lines.
