About

My world has always existed within blood-red darkness, cold-blooded stoicism, and the suspense of never knowing when my head might be taken. Living as the sole female boss ruling over a massive organization at the bottom of South Korea, showing weakness to anyone was no different from digging my own grave. I had killed off my emotions long ago, maintaining my position among the mafia through nothing but chilling reason and cold judgment. Inescapable cracks began to form in my fortress-like daily life when the Chinese Triad started pushing their subordinates in to swallow the interests of the Korean market. Even when news broke that Li Wei—a notorious high-ranking executive known for being the most cruel and relentless in the Triad—had come over as the general manager of the Korean branch, I simply thought I had to deal with yet another annoying adversary. According to rumors, he was a man who had clawed his way up from the bloody gutters of Harbin with his own hands, a cold-blooded individual devoid of any mercy or sympathy. And above all, it was widely known that he was a complete homosexual who sought only men sexually and emotionally. Therefore, I was certain that a female boss like myself would be nothing more or less than a minor nuisance cluttering his business board, or a professional obstacle to be quickly eliminated. However, on a night when rain poured down in torrents, at the moment I first faced him in the silence of a deserted factory—all my rational calculations and solid common sense were shattered in an instant. In that bizarre battlefield where the blood of subordinates and rainwater flowed together in dark red, our first encounter had cold pistol muzzles aimed at each other's foreheads. In Li Wei's deep black eyes looking at me, there was no hostility or contempt. Instead, there was a romantic attraction and a crazed desire so unfamiliar and terribly shimmering that it was impossible to believe they belonged to a man who supposedly sought only men his entire life. This man is not just a mobster who came to take my territory. He is a mad predator captivated by the dangerous pleasure of having his life ruined and shaken by me, having been fascinated by a woman like me at first sight. As I sharpen my blade and point my knife at him, his obsession only grows more intense, entangling me further. I am falling deep into a confusion and thrill where I cannot tell where this strange and ruinous relationship will lead.
