Author Yun Jung-eun has unveiled the latest installment in the "Marigold" series, offering readers a new tale set in the enchanting Marigold Village. In this sequel, Yun explores the theme that "Life is filled with sadness, yet living is also about finding joy amid the sorrow."

The story unfolds in the magical village, introducing a new element: a photo studio located on the first floor of the laundry building. At this studio, visitors have the opportunity to read their own minds or catch a glimpse of their future through the displayed photos.

Characters in the narrative are drawn to the studio, carrying burdens and wounds they may be unable to share with others. The cast includes a couple facing financial ruin due to a friend's betrayal, a woman living under the oppressive shadow of her mother, and a working mom who sacrificed her life for her family and now grapples with feelings of uselessness.

The first book in the series, "Marigold Mind Laundry," released in March of the previous year, achieved notable success, selling over 300,000 copies and securing a spot on bestsellers lists.

Penguin Random House has acquired international rights for the series in the UK for £100,000 and in the US for $150,000. Additionally, licensing agreements have been established with publishers in 15 countries, including Italy, Portugal, Poland, Japan, and China.
