Light meets darkness. Warmth meets ice-cold. What happens when the pure and innocent meets true evil?Mei’s life is irrevocably shattered when she’s betrayed by the man of her dreams. Left feeling empty and on the brink of surrender, her fate takes a dramatic turn when Guarniero D’Angelo, the coldest mafia boss in the city, crashes into her world.

At first, Mei despises him because he embodies everything she yearns to escape. But she comes to realize that behind the cold exterior lies a broken soul desperately seeking redemption. As chaos and violence becomes the language of their reality, Mei makes it her mission to reach the man behind the mask, believing fiercely that she can mend what’s shattered.But love does not come without its price.
