The Cost of Power

When 18-year-old Choi Chun-soon receives a shocking text message: “Come home immediately.” Our parents are dead, and he is plunged into a storm of grief, confusion, and conspiracy.

As the heir to one of South Korea’s most powerful industrial empires, Chun-soon is thrust into the spotlight after the sudden, suspicious deaths of his father and stepmother, both ruled double suicides. But the deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes: their deaths were meaningless. Not the timing. Not the autopsy. Absolutely not the silence of those in power.

With the protection of his siblings, an ally he’s unsure if he can trust, and a killer who may be living under the same roof, Chung Bin-rin takes matters into his own hands. But when the path leads to his best friend’s family and a billion-dollar government contract, it’s no longer just a fight for truth. It’s survival.
