The Blood-Stained Vow

Han Soo-ah never planned to return to Korea. She escaped her family’s expectations, built a career on her own terms, and left the corporate world behind. But when her brother, the CEO of HJ Group, dies under suspicious circumstances, she has no choice. Now, she’s the sole guardian of her six-year-old niece and the only thing standing between HJ Group and the men trying to seize control. The company was meant for her niece, but the board is already circling, ready to take everything. At the center of it all is Kang Joon-min, a man everyone fears. As the head of the Baekho Syndicate, Joon-min isn’t just a businessman—he controls the city from the shadows. And now, he wants something from her. Marriage. He calls it protection. A way to secure her niece’s future and stop the board from stripping her of power. If she accepts, she gains an untouchable shield. If she refuses, she loses everything. Soo-ah knows he’s dangerous, ruthless, and possibly the man behind her brother’s death. But the more she searches for the truth, the more she realizes the real enemy isn’t the man she married. It’s the ones who never wanted her back.
