Narrado por: Virtual Voice

They traded Seoul's underworld for quiet nights. But the past never stays buried.

Two years after the explosive events of Shadows of Seoul, Kwon Ji-hoon—former ruthless ruler of the Black Lotus syndicate—and Seo Min-ji—the brilliant ex-undercover cop who cracked his defenses and captured his heart—have built a fragile peace. Running the sophisticated jazz bar 'Nocturne,' they've swapped gunfire for smooth melodies, shadows for amber light. They thought they'd finally escaped the ghosts of their violent past.

But a frantic, untraceable voicemail shatters their carefully constructed world. An old contact, tangled in the city's art scene, has been kidnapped. Her desperate message mentions the treacherous docks, illicit shipments, and a name Ji-hoon hoped never to hear again: the Red Serpents.

Pulled back into the rain-slicked labyrinth of Seoul's hidden alleys and glittering high-society facades, Ji-hoon and Min-ji must navigate a deadly game where nothing is as it seems. A cryptic clue tied to a mysterious artist named 'Icarus,' the reappearance of a calculating rival strategist long thought gone, and whispers of betrayal from within their own scarred history force them to confront the darkness they tried to leave behind.

As they race against time to rescue the kidnapped woman and unravel a conspiracy involving dangerous data that could destabilize the city's elite, the old instincts resurface. Ji-hoon feels the pull of the ruthless leader he once was, while Min-ji must balance her sharp investigative mind with the fierce loyalty she holds for the man she once hunted. When Han Min-ki targets their new life directly, threatening Min-ji herself, the stakes become terrifyingly personal.

From tense infiltrations in exclusive galleries to desperate confrontations in decaying docklands, Crimson Silk & City Lies plunges readers back into a world of neo-noir suspense, simmering romantic tension, and high-stakes action. Can Ji-hoon and Min-ji protect the life they've built and silence the echoes of their past before it consumes their future?

Fans of gritty romantic suspense, intricate crime thrillers, and stories of redemption against all odds will be captivated by this thrilling follow-up to Shadows of Seoul.
