The Kim Estate

❝ For nearly a decade, Taehyung and Jeongguk have lived the perfect life. They are young, wealthy, influential, and deeply devoted to one another. Their family owns one of the country's oldest luxury corporations, passed down for generations. There is only one problem. Neither of them can legally inherit the family fortune unless they produce a biological heir, a condition hidden within an outdated clause in the family's trust.

After years of searching, they choose Emily, a quiet woman with no surviving relatives, to become their surrogate. She accepts because the compensation would finally allow her to escape a lifetime of debt. The agreement is simple.

One pregnancy.

No emotional attachment.

No contact after the child is born.

But the mansion feels strangely familiar to her. She knows rooms she's never entered. She recognizes lullabies no one has sung. She begins dreaming about a woman crying inside the estate decades ago.

As she investigates, she discovers that the estate once belonged to a family that vanished without explanation. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes she wasn't chosen because of her health. She was chosen because someone in the family recognized her. ❞
