Summary

DUSK Jin Vael has always wanted one thing—freedom. An orphan with no family and no ambitions beyond living a quiet life, he avoids attention, expectations, and the exhausting weight of other people. His only escape is photography, capturing moments that most of the world never notices. Under the anonymous name Dusk, he enters a photography competition for one simple reason: prize money. He never expects that decision to change his life. Sophia Moretti, the daughter of the powerful head of Meridian Group, has spent her entire life protected behind invisible walls. Surrounded by bodyguards and trapped by her family's influence, she dreams of nothing more than restoring art at Arden House Gallery and living an ordinary life. When Jin's photographs arrive at the gallery, their paths begin to cross. What starts as a professional relationship slowly becomes something neither of them expects. But in the shadows, another game is already unfolding. Sebastian, the heir to an influential family, is quietly moving pieces across the board, drawing closer to the Moretti family while hiding ambitions that reach far beyond business. As old alliances begin to crack and enemies emerge from the darkness, Sophia is forced into a dangerous world she never wanted to inherit. To protect the one person who gave him a reason to care, Jin makes a choice that will change him forever.
