Synopsis
In the shadows of Seungguk Dong, a neglected district where human lives are bought and sold like cheap wine, lies a brothel that houses not only bodies—but secrets, power, and resistance. Hwan, a beautiful and elusive young man, is the most sought-after courtesan in the red-light colony. But behind the sultry gaze and honeyed words hides a serpent: calculating, dangerous, and fiercely loyal to his people. He sells his body, but not his soul. When a team of undercover officers led by the cold, stoic Tae Yun is assigned to dismantle a ruthless crime syndicate—the Black Panther group—they must infiltrate a world they’ve only judged from the outside. But nothing prepares Tae Yun for the moment he meets Hwan: a boy cloaked in shadows and fire. As alliances form, lust tangles with loyalty, and blood is traded for justice, the officers begin to question who the real enemies are. Because in this palace, love is a risk, and desire might just burn down the walls they've built around their truths. The Palace of Lust is a sensual, suspenseful web novel about sex, power, survival, and forbidden affection—where every kiss might be a trap and every touch a declaration of war.

The door opened with slowly as a mid aged women entered the big ethereal chember of her sister. She went near the king sized bed. And smirked when she saw besides her dead sister's lifeless body, a child was crying. She took the baby in her embrace and gracefully came outside. She stopped at the long corridors where someone was waiting for it.

"It's a boy. How can I use it." The man said as he eyes the child. The woman smiled,"It's the era where gender doesn't matter to be 'used'." She stated.

The man nodded and took the baby to him. And in exchange he gave that woman a bundle of notes. She sniffed the money like animal. The man glaced at her with disgust. And turned to leave.

THE PALACE OF LUST

chap 1

"It's sounds totally impossible." Tae Yun exclaimed on disbelief after hearing his boss."Why not? See, you're like a angel of justice. You can do that. Since you're the master mind." His boss shrugged on his cabin chair.

Tae Yun looked at his fellow officer, Jae Yoon who just swallowed, he nodded at Tae Yun and spoke up,"Sir, it's risky too. All red light areas always surrounded by gangs. It's dangerous."

Their boss, Byeong Hi sighed,"Since the day one, I wanted to look after these issue. Now I have enough power. So, I ask you, will you help. Those helpless people?"

Tae Yun looked at Jae Yoon who looked Sang Min, their another fellow officer,"Why you're so desperate to help them?" Sang Min said idly. It was his nature.

Byeong Hi's expression softened,"I hope you'll understand soon during this mission."

"It's final?!" Min Soo suddenly exclaimed who was sleeping on the couch every time."You heard us?" Tae Yun raised his eyebrows. Min Soo smiled sleepishly,"It's sound adventureous. Let's do this. Being secret agents we should do always adventures."

"That's my boy.." Byeong Hi chuckled and others cursed him under their breathe.

"Uch! Why you're beating me?" Min Soo guarded his head when Sang Min smacked his head. Tar Yun sighed and sat on the restaurant table, others did the same.

"It's crazy. Really crazy. Now we have to roam around those brothels?" He ran his hand through his hair. His blonde hair shined by sun light.

Sang Min opened his computer before adjust his specs,"We can't complain now. We need to do something about this mission."

Min Soo sighed,"Common. It's actually a good thing." he tried to convince them. Jae Yoon took a bite of burger as waiter served them their orders,"Actually that area is ruled by gangs. They literally guard that place." he stated.

Four of them sighed. Suddenly Sang Min spoke up,"Wait. Someone named, Hwan is leader of sex workers and kinda ruled there."

Jae Yoon raised his one eyebrow,"How you know?"

"One of my friends went there." Sang Min shrugged. Tae Yun nodded,"Since we have to actually do about it. We need to go there." He took a pause then asked,"Is Hwan in a gang?"

"No. He's a prostitute himself." Sang Min said.

"Strange." Tae Yun murmured.

"Hey! It's a Buddhist temple... " Min soo whined. Sang Min stopped and turned to him,"Stop whining." His palms rested on his waist. Min Soo nervously chuckled and continued to follow him. Tae Yun looked around as they were climbing the hill. The temple was on peak of hill.

It was decorated by lights. Maybe some festival occuring here. Jae Yoon turned his mobile and started to recorded every moment.

Soon they reached the temple. The temple was newly constructed. A fountain between the yard of the temple and floor with stones. In that atmosphere a boy was gracefully dancing on middle of the yard. He was wearing a cherry red colored hanbok. His every movement were feminine yet masculine.

His hair reached until his lower portion of ears. It was messy yet stylish. He was owner of extreme beauty, his skin wasn't as white as other koreans yet gorgeous, more than other.

Tae Yun's eyes fell on that boy. He was marely twenty five. Sang Min stand besides Tae Yun and said,"Hwan...."

Tae Yun's eyes widened sightly, he looked Sang Min,"Who?" he asked. Sang min raised his hand and pointed the finger towards that graceful boy!

Tae Yun's eyes widened more, no way. That boy was a prostitute but he was in this temple!

"Huh! Seducing here too?" The priest of the temple leaned against the door frame. His eyes wondering around the boy in front of him. Yes, it was Hwan. Who was silently took off his jewels in front of a mirror. He looked at his own reflection on the mirror. But then looked at the reflection of that prist who was hungrily looking at his body.

His expression was neutral. He looked down and started to took off his wristlets,"Isn't it a sin for a prist to lust over another man." with a calm laced voice Hwan said.

Priest smirked,"Man? You consider yourself as man?" He started to laugh In a mockery manner, Hwan paused,"Men don't get used, Little toy. Men, even women comes to you for a use." His expression turned into cold,"You're just a toy for use. So it's not a sin but pleasure. Huh! A man prostitute. Okay fine. Now undress yourself."

Hwan clenched his fist, his knuckles turned white. He looked at the prist who just smirked. He stepped close to the prist. A smile crawled on his lips. He stopped before the prist,"You want a good ride?"

"What you think, bitch." prist pulled him by waist. Hwan slowly wrapped his arms around priest's neck. Hwan leaned up to his ear,"Let's give you a good ride." he whisper.

"Of cour----" Priest's eyes were like came out of the socket, his mouth wide opened, Hwan smiled menacingly, as he was holding the injection against his neck which was tagged into the prist's neck.

"No man, no gang, no government rules here. Hwan is the ruler of brothels, prist." He pulled out the injection harshly and let the dead body fell on ground.
