Produktbeschreibung

"So this is the world we live in, where even spouses can be rented." Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, five wedding rings and counting, 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 spouses" for a fixed period to their elite clientele. Just like a real marriage, Inji's assignments involve a wedding, some sex, and a spot of housework. 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 neighbor, Granny; her flirtatious best friend, Shi-jeong; and a failed blind date, Tae-seong, who won't take no for an answer. At NM, love is temporary, which is just how Inji likes it. But when one of Inji's old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year, Inji's own dark past will begin to unravel-as well as the dark, sinister underbelly of the NM management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation and that of their wealthiest clients…
