Beneath His Gaze
In a nation still reeling from the ashes of a collapsed dictatorship, Y/n is a survivor, but not yet free. Liberated from the horrors of imprisonment, she finds herself thrust into a new kind of captivity-her uncle's household, where power and privilege were bought through allegiance to the fallen regime. And now, to preserve his wealth, he has sold her into marriage with an enigmatic and ruthless businessman whose empire spans vast acres, built on unshakable control and silent fear. As Y/n prepares to meet her future husband- Jeon Jungkook, she wrestles with the weight of her past-the haunting faces of those who perished, the injustice that stole her family, and the brutal reality that she is still a commodity in a world that claims to be free. But when an unexpected encounter shakes her carefully constructed façade, she realizes that the game she is being forced to play is far deadlier than she imagined. The man she collided with is not the one she was meant to meet...or is he? Between suffocating oppression, the echoes of a nation's suffering, and the unseen war between power and survival, Y/n must navigate a world where submission is expected, resistance is punished, and escape might just be impossible. But as she stares into the cold, lifeless eyes of the man before her, one question lingers: Is she truly powerless, or is there something even darker lurking beneath her silence? A harrowing tale of resilience, entrapment, and the cost of survival, 'Beneath His Gaze' explores what happens when a woman refuses to be broken-even in a world determined to shatter her.
