Chapter 1: A Fateful Encounter The vibrant colors of the autumn leaves painted the streets of Seoul, casting an enchanting spell over the city. It was during this time that the annual Moonlight Festival took place, a celebration of the full moon that was said to bring prosperity and good fortune to those who observed it. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation, as people from all walks of life gathered to partake in the festivities. Amidst the joyous crowds, there stood a young woman named Ji-Yeon, her bright eyes filled with wonder and her heart brimming with happiness. She was known for her carefree spirit and her unwavering belief in the power of love and all things good. Her days were spent reveling in the beauty of nature, finding solace in its embrace. On this particular evening, Ji-Yeon found herself dancing to the rhythm of traditional music, her laughter mingling with the laughter of others. Little did she know that this night, her life would take an unexpected turn, forever altering her path. As the moon reached its zenith, casting an ethereal glow upon the festivities, a sinister presence lurked in the shadows. Unbeknownst to Ji-Yeon and the other festival-goers, a group of ancient vampires had infiltrated the event, driven by their insatiable hunger for human blood. It was a feast to them, a chance to revel in the darkness that dwelled within their immortal souls. In the midst of chaos, Ji-Yeon found herself separated from the crowd, her laughter silenced by the sinister intentions of the vampires. Panic set in as she realized the danger she was in, her heart pounding in her chest. With every fiber of her being, she fought against the clutches of her captors, desperately seeking an avenue of escape. By a stroke of luck or perhaps a twist of fate, Ji-Yeon managed to break free from the vampires' grasp. Her heart raced as she ran through the dimly lit streets, her mind clouded with fear and confusion. She could still feel their cold, predatory eyes on her, their hunger lurking in the darkness. Days turned into weeks, and Ji-Yeon's life slowly returned to a semblance of normalcy. However, the memory of that fateful night haunted her, casting a shadow over her once vibrant spirit. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched, that danger lurked just beyond the veil of her everyday existence. Little did she know that her path would soon cross with that of a man who held a deep grudge against her. This man, a ruthless vampire CEO named Min-Jun, had witnessed Ji-Yeon's escape from the clutches of his kind. Fuelled by anger and a thirst for revenge, he vowed to make her pay for the humiliation she had unknowingly caused him. To Ji-Yeon's utter surprise, her rich parents announced that Min-Jun would be her chosen fiancé. Devastated and trapped by societal expectations, she found herself forced into a loveless marriage, living in constant fear of the man who held a grudge
