In the brutal shadows of the criminal underworld, monsters aren’t born—they’re made.
Joon-hyuk, the feared mafia heir, was never given a choice. Molded by a tyrant father who valued power over humanity, Joon-hyuk was raised as a weapon, not a child. With blood on his hands before he even turned twelve, he grew up numb—his heart silenced, his soul chained. Now a legend in the underworld, they call him The Beast—a name whispered in fear.
Until he meets Yeo-jun.
Yeo-jun is everything Joon-hyuk is not—fragile, innocent, and soft-hearted. Misunderstood by his family, shattered by trauma, and labeled as mentally unstable by society, Yeo-jun has been living in quiet darkness since the day he was abducted and tortured for a crime he never committed. Branded as "unlucky" even by his own blood, he's spent his life drifting—medicated, broken, and invisible.
But when The Beast lays eyes on Yeo-jun’s haunted innocence, something primal awakens. For the first time, Joon-hyuk feels something deeper than control or rage. Obsession. Protection. A dangerous desire to claim and heal the only light left in his ruined world.
As their bond deepens, the darkness around them begins to stir.
In the background, two more couples are drawn into the shadows:
Min-jae, Joon-hyuk’s only friend and right hand, is a cold genius haunted by a past soaked in blood. When he crosses paths with a stolen village boy, trapped in the sex trade by a criminal hotel empire, a spark ignites—revenge, redemption, and something terrifyingly close to love.
The third pair emerges from the scars of legacy and loneliness. A mischievous younger brother, discarded by his father, finds unexpected warmth in a gruff military officer placed under his care. Their connection begins with bickering and boundaries—but what starts as annoyance slowly turns into something neither of them was trained to handle: hope.
In a world ruled by shadows, where love is dangerous and loyalty is paid for in blood…
Will their hearts be their salvation—or their ruin?
Some monsters aren't meant to be slain.
And some Beauties were born to tame the Beast.
