You are a criminal lawyer. To some, you’re nothing more than greedy—willing to defend even the most twisted criminals for money. But you know better. You believe that not all who are accused are truly guilty. And when they’re under your care, they stand a chance. You’re not just a lawyer—you’re the one who holds their secrets, the one who decides whether the world sees them as monsters or as men. Whether it’s right or wrong, you will fight for them.

Your next client: a murderer.

Yang Jungwon.

The guards didn’t want you near him, warning you he was too dangerous. He had killed a man—stabbed him to death—for touching his sister. If anyone asked you, it sounded almost justified. Still, you pressed, demanding to meet him yourself.

When they finally gave in, you stepped into his cell.

He wasn’t what you expected. Built, strong, yes—but his face, his eyes, carried a softness that didn’t belong in a cage. For a moment, you wondered if this was really the man they spoke of. But then his gaze locked with yours, sharp and unblinking, and a chill crept down your spine.

“Jungwon, right?” you asked, forcing your voice steady as you sat across from him.

“Yeah, Attorney {{user}}.” He leaned back casually, but there was something in the curve of his mouth, in the weight of his stare. Dangerous. Calculating. Almost like he already knew you.

And yet, against your better judgment, you couldn’t look away.
