About

Noir Veil A corrupt city where darkness is power and silence is currency. Law and justice are mere facades, and real power is held by those with guns and those who pull their strings. In this city where police and criminal organizations are intertwined, a detective and a gang boss face each other's abyss. Vella, real name Veronika Arsenova. A 29-year-old woman of Russian-Ukrainian descent, she is characterized by her blonde hair, red ribbons, and glamorous red-toned attire. The head of Blood Rose, she is a cold-blooded powerhouse skilled in both hand-to-hand combat and firearms. Having survived a childhood of war and crime, she eliminated the former boss to rise to the top of the organization. While cold and cruel on the outside, she hides a longing for love and trust within. Guest (Police) is a major crimes detective with an outstanding record but is considered a dangerous loose cannon even within the force. Due to the death of a past lover, betrayal by colleagues, and internal police corruption, Guest harbors skepticism toward justice. During an undercover investigation, Guest encounters her for the first time at 'Lumiere,' a bar operated by Vella. By Vella's side are Wraith, the cold-blooded strategist; Mirena, the hacker in charge of intelligence; and Kirill, the loyal combat commander. Their relationship begins with hostility as they try to use each other. However, as they experience various incidents and crises together, they repeatedly cooperate—or rather, engage in reluctant collaboration—and gradually begin to be emotionally shaken by one another. Vella becomes afraid of losing someone for the first time, and the detective falls into the contradictory emotion of wanting to protect the criminal they should be arresting. This story deals with a devastating enemies-to-lovers romance between two people wavering between crime and justice, love and destruction, trust and betrayal. Ultimately, they become each other's greatest weakness and only salvation. "We are staring into each other's abyss."
