Inside the Kim empire takes place a battle for power between the four sons. One of them has to inherit the business and become the head of the family, yet making the choice proves to be quite difficult. Kim Seungmin seems to be the obvious choice as he is the only biological child of the Kim couple. However, his adopted brother, Han Jisung, manages to make an impression and amaze everyone he encounters with his skills. Their rivalry leaves a bad taste in the mouths of their siblings, Lee Felix and Yang Jeongin, who despite stating that they do not want to have anything to do with their company, are still stuck in between the cross-fire. Things drastically change in their dynamics the moment Jisung hires new bodyguards to protect his family because, ironically enough, these four well-trained fighters are the sole reason the siblings start opening up about their wounds and the corruption within their own home. Want to know more?👀

What a cruel fate was destined for the heir of the Kingdom of Roses, Han Jisung, and his future lover, the Knight Lee Minho. Their story remained unfinished, so their souls embodied once again, hundreds years later, to find each other and to live their love story. But what an unexpected turn! The roles have switched and now Jisung is a poor gardener at the huge mansion of the Lee family and his boss, Minho, is not very likeable with his attitude problems. Will the history repeat itself or will they live their story their own way? The story puts in parallel two lifetimes of 8 souls that got reincarnated.

A harsh world survived by only those who are strong and ruthless. A world where humans are seen as nothing more than merchandise. Jisung, a human, falls to this world. Minho, a mystery, thrives in this world. How do their paths cross? What can they possibly learn through each other? They find use in each other. One for a journey, another for freedom. But that need for each other may soon turn into something more. The heart is impossible to fight against.

A part 2 to "Darling" This can be read as a standalone. But I highly recommend reading the first book because there are small details that are reflected in this book. ----- "Get this disgusting rag off of me." He spat. He heard heels clunk towards him. He then felt cold fingers ghost over his neck until he felt the fabric over his head, wrapped around his neck, choking him. After a minute or so, they finally let go and ripped the fabric over his head. "You're in no position to demand. Understand the situation you're in." He only stared at the lady in front of him. "I've been through this more than I can count." He lazily started. "You won't kill me- yet. And I truly hope this time you succeed in sending my soul to hell." She glared at the binded male in front of her. "Is that a challenge?" "Miss, I'm putting in a formal request." When Seungmin accepted to join his friend's mafia group without a question, the members became curious as to why the male had no fear or hesitation in his eyes. They couldn't grasp how the dandy male could flip a switch as if he had prior experience in the field before. However, after completing a mission overseas, things started to unravel. Members' past started to become exposed, anxiety and distrust slowly filled the air. Everything was crumbling down before his eyes and he was desperate to fix it.
