Halo Burns Brighter in Ruin

Yoon Seojun died after losing everything. In his first life, he was sold into a marriage, used by his family, ignored by his Alpha husband, and blamed for a betrayal he never committed. His mother died in a hospital bed. His child was taken from him before the world even knew it existed. In the end, Seojun picked up a gun and ended his life in front of the man who destroyed him. Then he opened his eyes again. Five months before the wedding. This time, Seojun has no intention of being a gentle, obedient omega. He sells what his family wants most, hides his money, protects his mother, and begins tearing apart every person who once used him. Behind a beautiful face and quiet voice, he becomes Halo, the mysterious force moving the stock market and ruining powerful families before they even understand they are being hunted. But Cha Dohyun is not acting the same. The cold and terrifying Alpha who once treated Seojun like a tool begins watching him too closely. Protecting him too possessively. Caging him too carefully. Every polite word sounds like a threat, every touch feels like ownership, and every moment between them grows more dangerous. Seojun wants revenge. Cha Dohyun wants his omega. And in a world where omegas are expected to be fragile, soft, and obedient, Yoon Seojun smiles beautifully and sets everything on fire. This time, he will not beg to be saved. This time, anyone who touches what belongs to him will learn exactly why Halo burns brightest in ruin. Release Notice Halo Burns Brighter in Ruin is a completed short novel plus a side chapter.
