Before the Kim-Manoban family, there were the Manobans and the Kims. Lisa Manoban was the reckless heiress sent to Seoul after one mistake too many. Jennie Kim was the academy's untouchable queen-perfect, respected, and impossible to impress. They were never supposed to get close. But between school chaos, stolen moments, and a love neither of them expected, Lisa and Jennie became each other's favorite problem. Until family, power, and an arranged engagement tore them apart.

Jennie Kim never planned on falling for her best friend's older sister. In her defense, nobody warned her that Lisa Manoban would be funny. Or kind. Or ridiculously pretty. Or that she'd somehow manage to make Jennie forget what she was saying in the middle of a sentence. One minute, Jennie was perfectly happy spending time with her best friend, Cleo. The next, she was finding increasingly creative reasons to visit Cleo's house. For completely normal reasons, of course. Definitely not because Lisa was home. Not at all. Now Jennie is stuck in a terrible situation: She's crushing on her best friend's sister. Lisa keeps smiling at her. Cleo is getting suspicious. And Jennie is one awkward interaction away from throwing herself into the nearest bush. Falling for Lisa Manoban is a very bad idea. A really, really bad idea. Unfortunately, it's also the best one she's ever had.

In a city drowning in unsolved murders, corruption, and secrets buried beneath neon lights... one investigator sees what nobody else can. Lalisa Manobal stars as Lisa Manoban - a brilliant private investigator secretly working alongside the police to solve cold cases too disturbing, violent, or impossible for ordinary detectives. Calm, unreadable, and dangerously intelligent, Lisa has built a reputation for solving crimes everyone else gives up on. But Lisa hides a secret far darker than the cases she investigates. She's a vampire. For over a century, Lisa has lived in the shadows feeding on criminals, covering her tracks, and pretending to be human while the city changes around her. Rules keep her alive: Never get attached. Never reveal what she is. Never revisit the past. Then Jennie Kim appears. Jennie is now a fearless news reporter obsessed with exposing corruption and uncovering the truth behind Seoul's growing number of unsolved disappearances. Smart, stubborn, and impossible to intimidate, Jennie crosses paths with Lisa during a murder investigation... ...and immediately recognizes her. Because years ago, when Jennie was just a little girl, a mysterious woman saved her life during a terrifying night she never forgot. Lisa denies everything. But the more Jennie investigates both the case and Lisa herself, the more impossible things begin happening around them - bodies drained of blood, witnesses disappearing, secrets inside the police department, and a predator hunting the city from the dark. And worst of all? Lisa may not be the only monster hiding in Seoul.

Just read it...

In a world controlled by systems no one sees, power is never held-it is managed. Jennie Kim, CEO of JK Holdings, stands at the center of influence, protecting the legacy her father built. Across from her is a threat she cannot name-only trace through patterns, fragments, and a codename whispered in silence: Frost. Lisa Manoban was never meant to stay. Trained to eliminate, built to disappear, she moves through missions with precision-until her past begins to collide with something she was never prepared for. As hidden organizations rise, governments fracture, and truths buried in code begin to surface, Jennie and Lisa are forced into a world where trust is dangerous-and staying might cost more than running. But in the middle of chaos, one question remains: When everything is designed to keep you moving... what happens when you choose to stay?

They said the Sun and the Moon could never meet. But Jennie and Lisa did. And now- everything is about to change.

Seven years ago, a man disappeared quietly behind prison walls, taking the blame for a corporate crime that saved the Kim empire from collapse. The world moved on, the company grew stronger, and Jennie Kim rose to power as one of the most untouchable businesswomen in the industry. The scandal was buried, the past was sealed, and the silence was never questioned. Until now. Kang Ji-Hoon was once a loyal executive who served under Eun Hye Kim, the iron-willed matriarch who built the empire from the ground up. He helped shape the company, protected its legacy, and believed loyalty would be repaid with the same devotion. Instead, he became the sacrifice that kept everything standing. Seven years in prison took his career, his reputation, and the life he once knew-but it never erased the truth. Now he's back, not for revenge, not for money, but for correction. Jennie Kim has spent years protecting her grandmother's legacy and strengthening the empire she inherited. She built her name on discipline, strategy, and silence. The past was supposed to stay buried, locked away with decisions that were made for survival. But when Ji-Hoon's name resurfaces in legal records, the quiet foundation of her world begins to crack. Because some secrets are not meant to stay hidden forever-and some silences eventually demand to be heard. As the truth slowly unfolds, the line between loyalty and betrayal begins to blur. Was Ji-Hoon a criminal who paid for his mistakes, or a loyal soldier sacrificed to protect a dynasty? Was Jennie a leader who made the only decision she could, or someone who chose power over justice? In a world ruled by corporate power, legal battles, and buried truths, the past returns with one simple demand: acknowledgment. And this time, silence may cost more than anyone is ready to lose.
