Yue is an enigma — the mercurial frontman of Velvet Theory, adored by millions, impossible to work with. Every makeup artist before has been undone — not by who he is but by the quiet ruin of his presence. A silence that pulls. A gaze that lingers like a bruise. And every one of them? Fired. Sera was supposed to be different. And she was. A brilliant, unflinching artist in her own right, Sera could transform anyone into the embodiment of their music — but she refused to be transformed by Yue. His dangerous charisma didn’t move her, and that alone unsettled him. It bruised his pride, the way her eyes saw him not as a man to be desired, but as a canvas to perfect. Engaged to the country’s most celebrated chef, Yue had long believed himself untouchable — until Sera’s restraint became the one thing he couldn’t resist breaking. But Sera has learned her lesson the hard way: getting close to someone who belongs to the world can burn you. And Yue, for all his fame and fire, has never known what it means to fall for someone who won’t yield.
