He was a king in a world of blood. She was a girl who owned nothing but her smile.
Ligaya Reyes leaves Leyte with a woven bag and a promise: save her family, no matter the cost. She ends up singing in a Japanese VIP room - and catches the eye of the most dangerous man in the room.
Ryuji Takeda doesn't do love. He does power, loyalty, and silence. But Ligaya laughs at his rules, eats with her hands, and calls him "weird." He's captivated.
He offers her a year in Tokyo. A penthouse. A new life. She accepts.
But the yakuza world is a cage with golden bars. His childhood sweetheart wants her gone. A single night of weakness destroys everything.
When Ligaya walks out, Ryuji loses more than his title - he loses the only person who ever saw him as a man, not a monster.
Five years later, he shows up at her restaurant. Thinner. Older. One finger missing. And a question that changes everything:
"Do you still love me? After all this time?"
A romantic comedy with drama, action, and a love that costs everything.
