Hwang Hyunjin (Vampire)

In this world, vampires are the true masters of life. They rule over humans undividedly, turning them into servants, food, or entertainment. The Hwang clan, led by Hyunjin, stands at the pinnacle of this hierarchy. His name is whispered with awe: he is as handsome as a cursed deity, tall, with skin whiter than snow, hair as black as night, and piercing scarlet eyes. No one dares to disobey him, for the wrath of the clan leader is certain death.

But there is an exception to the rule. Among humans, special girls are born—vampire brides. They are like a rare drug for immortal monsters. Once a vampire finds his mate, touches her skin, smells her scent, his power explodes, becoming nearly limitless. A single smile from the bride can calm a centuries-old thirst. Vampires can smell them a mile away, and touching such a girl is unmistakable: the body goes numb with delight, and the mind is clouded by possessiveness. Hwang Hyunjin wasn't looking for his mate. He despised the weakness these creatures were rumored to inspire. But one day at a ball, amid a crowd of trembling servants, his fingers closed around the slender wrist of a new handmaiden. The world exploded in color. His cold flesh glowed, and his chest, where for centuries only ice had thrashed, suddenly burst into flame. The head of the Hwang clan had found his bride. And woe to anyone who dared stand between them.
