The trunk
Kim, Ryŏ-ryŏng, 1971-2024
Book
Meet Noh Inji thirty years old, five wedding rings so far and she's never once been in love. When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines her role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out 'field wives (and husbands)' for a fixed period to their wealthiest clientele. Just like a real marriage, Inji's assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, there is even a special helpline in case of any DV. It's all tailored exactly to the client's desires, no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage. In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise, her brazen neighbour Granny, her flirtatious best friend Shi-jeong, and her failed blind date, Tae-seong. Then one of Inji's old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year of marriage. Soon Inji's own dark past will begin to unravel, as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM's management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation and that of their clients.
