Born with a grin that conceals more than it reveals, Nine, the runt daughter of the infamous Cheshire Cat, is nothing more than a disposable piece in a deadly game. Dismissed, underestimated, and barely surviving on the margins of power, she isn't here to play hero-she's here to stay alive. Her father's shadow looms large, his unfinished mission an impossible weight on her fragile shoulders. But survival isn't enough; Nine has to prove she's more than just another sacrifice to the board.

Her mission? Protect a corrupt politician long enough to attend the 93rd birthday "tea party" of the world's wealthiest man-a cover for a grotesque nightmare: a human trafficking auction where the daughters of the powerful are sold like cattle to the highest bidder. The stakes aren't just high; they're lethal. This isn't about right or wrong-this is about not getting erased by forces too big to fight.

The enemy is merciless. The Yakuza don't just kill-they obliterate, leaving behind no evidence, no whispers, only silence. Their power stretches like an endless shadow, suffocating anyone who dares challenge them. Against such monstrous odds, Nine is no warrior. She's not even a knight. She's a runt, a pawn-a flicker of light in a hurricane of darkness. And yet her father's legacy is a mantra to motivate through the uneven playing field.

Every step is a gamble, every ally a potential enemy, and every move a desperate bid to outmaneuver the predators closing in. 

In this game, loyalty is just another weapon, and trust is the quickest way to die. Nine knows the rules: she doesn't fight head-on. She vanishes, slipping through cracks too small for giants, always a step ahead-or so she hopes.
