About Doubleday The Trunk by Kim Ryeo-ryeong

That is exactly why you need this book. This special edition brings you an incredible story from South Korea.

Once you start reading, you will want to keep turning the pages late into the night.

A Look Into the Secret World of Rented Marriage

Meet Noh Inji. She is almost thirty years old, and she has already been married five times. But here is the big twist: she has never been in love.

Inji has a very unusual job. She works for a highly secret agency called Wedding & Life. Inside this company is a hidden group known as NM (New Marriage). This group rents out professional "field wives" and "field husbands" to rich elites for a fixed amount of time.

For a year at a time, Inji acts like a real wife. She does housework, attends fancy events, and provides companionship. There are no long court fights, no shouting matches, and no emotional attachments. Everything is perfectly designed to fit the client's wishes. When the time is up, they pack up and go their separate ways.

Inji likes this setup. She has zero interest in finding real love because she believes getting attached only brings pain. But everything changes when one of her former husbands, a very mysterious and wealthy music producer, asks for her to come back as his wife for another year. As they start their new contract, a dark trunk full of childhood secrets begins to crack open, and the scary things hidden underneath the elite marriage company start to show.
