The Face of the Wicked

In a dark and dangerous world...

Yuli, an assassin, finds himself uncontrollably drawn to Ren Hirokazu, a notorious criminal and murderer. Despite the obedience collar that forces him to carry out orders for the powerful Yakuza organization, Yuli cannot resist the allure of Ren's dangerous charm.

He kills for pay, accepting the poison that keeps him delirious as a necessary evil.

But when a mysterious discovery leads him to defect and become a hunted traitor, Yuli's world is turned upside down.

Hunted by the Yakuza and other powerful enemies, Yuli has nowhere left to turn until Ren offers him a way out, a chance for freedom. But at what cost? With the clock ticking and the hunters closing in, Yuli must make a dangerous gamble and accept Ren's help, even though it may lead to his downfall.

As they navigate a treacherous world filled with secrets, betrayal, and constant danger, Yuli and Ren's forbidden love becomes a liability.

Their survival and freedom hang in the balance in a world where one wrong move could mean death.
