The Sole

Poverty was manageable.

Losing her father wasn’t.

Left behind with crippling debts and a funeral hall overrun by loan sharks, Son Tae-eun’s life changes in a single, desperate breath. Cornered by dangerous men, she clings to Mun Ju-heon, an enigmatic figure who steps in like an answer to her prayers. But Ju-heon’s rescue comes at a terrifying cost. His mercy is short-lived, replaced by an obsessive dominance far more dangerous than the thugs at her throat.

By trusting him, Tae-eun hasn’t been saved; she’s just been trapped beneath his sole.
