Beneath the Silk Veil

In the Yamato Republic, the Tokai construction empire and the Kurosawa political dynasty force their heirs into a televised marriage to bury a massive bribery scandal. Rina Tokai, a forged heiress and covert intelligence operative, and Yuma Kurosawa, a son trained to be his family’s perfect surveillance tool, must perform affection for the cameras while wiretapping each other’s lives. When a key witness is murdered on the eve of their union, the charade spirals into a lethal chess match of mutual espionage, staged assassination attempts, and a hidden syndicate pulling both families’ strings. As the wedding broadcast nears, the two realize they are not just pawns but disposable evidence in a conspiracy that will consume them regardless of their pleas—the gears of fate grind forward, indifferent to love, betrayal, or survival.
