Y/n and Taehyung, born into rival families, once shared a deep and passionate love that defied the rules set by their families. However, after a devastating misunderstanding and betrayal orchestrated by outside forces, they became enemies. Time has passed, and they are now bitter adversaries in a deadly game of power.

Y/n's father, a powerful mafia leader, orders her to kill her former lover, Taehyung, now a leader in his own right, in a twisted scheme to gain dominance. Torn between her duty to her family and the remnants of her love for Taehyung, Y/n must navigate a world of deceit, danger, and deception.

Taehyung, who has never truly let go of Y/n, sees through the games of their families and vows to win her back, using every resource at his disposal. As they both delve deeper into this deadly cat-and-mouse game, their emotions blur the lines of loyalty, love, and revenge. In a world where trust is a rarity, can they ever find their way back to each other, or will the weight of their past destroy them both?
