The story starts in the busy city of Hong Kong, where Ruth Lee is leading a life of privilege, replete with all the luxuries and protection provided by her powerful Mafia family. She suspects something is wrong, but the truth comes crashing down when, after a family argument, Ruth wakes up to a house full of dead servants and her family nowhere to be found.

Scared and desperate at first, Ruth finds, behind a hidden safe left by her father, an address in Seoul, South Korea; a credit card; and papers so she could travel. She finally settled in South Korea out of necessity in search of her answers. On landing, it is Frank Xia, a very-feared Mafia lord previously associated with the mafia family. Frank, owing to old debts to her father, agrees to help Ruth find her family-but only if she proves capable of surviving the brutal world of the Mafia.

As Ruth trains with Frank and his crew, she learns about her secret Mafia lineage and all the power dynamics that come with it. It is a tough, grueling training that pushes her to her limits, but slowly, Ruth morphs from pampered princess into Mafia heiress. The complication in their mission would be the budding attraction between Ruth and Frank, and as their feelings for each other deepen, so does their determination to find her family-and to unmask the formidable foes against them.

On her way, Ruth faces betrayal, dark secrets, and surprising alliances. Now she's supposed to learn her way with a world she never understood, and the dark legacy of her family. Tension between her and Frank heightens while running life-threatening missions, and a passionate romance blooms in the midst of chaos. But the road to the future is filled with perils, as Ruth's uncle, a powerful Mafia baron with a deep-seated grudge against her family, seeks to destroy everything they've built.

Ruth Lee (TAMING THE MAFIA PRINCESS )

<p>I remember the humid night in Hong Kong vividly—a night where neon lights fought through the fog, and the damp air clung to my skin like a second layer. I was in a dim, rundown bar where every shadow held a secret, and the acrid tang of cigarette smoke mixed with the salty scent of the harbor. Across from me, a man brandished a loaded gun, his cold gaze fixed on me. I knew instantly that the weapon wasn't meant to be fired immediately; it was a tool designed to terrify, to assert dominance.</p>

<p>I glanced to my right and saw Ruth Lee standing silently beside me. A surge of irritation rushed through me—I had explicitly ordered her to stay back. Yet, there she was, a steadfast presence in a moment where every second felt like an eternity. My heart pounded with a mix of adrenaline and dread as I contemplated the risk not just to myself, but to her as well.</p>
