Domestic Chaos

Edward Tay was supposed to be untouchable.

A brilliant corporate lawyer. A feared strategist. Chief Legal Officer. In certain circles, The Black Prince-cold in the boardroom, precise in crisis, always three moves ahead.

At home, things are considerably less impressive.

Carmen has turned his penthouse into an unofficial second residence. Athletic, loud, fiercely loyal and incapable of leaving well enough alone, she challenges Edward at everything and treats his authority as a suggestion.

Then Kaylee arrives to inspect the situation. Young, brilliant and relentlessly analytical, she expects a professional disaster. Instead, she finds a home where competence cannot explain everything-and slowly makes space for herself inside it.

Rin returns from Japan carrying six years of regret and unfinished love. A broadcaster with a Japanese news agency and heir to a powerful spiritual tradition, she sees what others miss and must decide whether the door she once left is still hers to reopen.

Christine Li returns with beauty, pride and unfinished history. A senior lawyer and old-money Li daughter, she has spent years controlling how others see her. Edward is one of the few people who sees through it-and neither is certain they ever truly moved on.

One by one, the doors stop closing.

Soon, Edward's life becomes a battlefield of jealousy, family expectations, corporate enemies, spiritual disturbances and household rules nobody follows. Even his dead grandparents refuse to stay out of it, haunting the penthouse while hiding duties of their own among the dead.

Edward can survive boardrooms, scandals, hostile chairmen and ghosts.

But Carmen, Kaylee, Rin and Chris are not problems to be solved.

They are ambitious, wounded people making their own choices-and increasingly choosing together.

Can five people who spent their lives protecting themselves become a family without destroying one another first?

Because life doesn't get even.

**It gets chaotic.**
