In a city where power is currency and betrayal is inevitable, Han Yeijin’s life was never meant to be her own. The daughter of a prominent minister, she was raised in a world of privilege—one that shattered the moment she fell into the hands of Kang Minjae.

A man with too many secrets and no mercy, Minjae is the name whispered in backrooms and feared in boardrooms. Ruthless, untouchable, and always in control. Until her.

Bound by circumstances neither of them chose, Yeijin becomes a pawn in a dangerous game, caught between the man who holds her chains and the echoes of a life she can no longer claim as her own. But in a world built on deception, even the most carefully laid plans can unravel.

Because the most dangerous lies?

Are the ones we tell ourselves.

She shouldn’t want this.

She shouldn’t want him.

His hands are rough, demanding, as they drag her forward. His mouth grazes the shell of her ear, breath warm, voice dark and full of pure possession.

“Say it.” Minjae murmurs, his fingers threading into her hair, tilting her chin up to look at him.

She refuses.

Her lips part—only for a sharp gasp to escape when he presses her against the desk, trapping her between his body and the cold wood.

“You were mine before you even knew it.” he breathes, dragging his lips down the curve of her throat. His teeth scrape her skin, a warning, a promise.

She shivers.

She hates him.

She wants him.

“Say it.” he demands again, voice rough, almost desperate now.

Yeijin clenches her fists. But her body betrays her.

“…I’m yours.”

The groan that leaves him is pure sin.

And then?

Then he ruins her all over again.
