I do not know how some of the readers do not understand what is going on but I guess I should explain it.

TEARS OF BLOOD BOOK 2 - BREATH OF LIFE
His husband spoils the date and runs away with him.
Reqing kidnaps Jihoon and takes him to their home.
The story goes back 10 years to when he died.
Reqing was about to perform a ritual but Jihoon dropped into the array and the resentful energy engulfed him.
Because he wanted to die so badly after not being accepted by his family he had no will to live leading his soul to die.
Jihoon is Reqing's soul's bride, his other half! Meaning that he will never be happy no matter who he marries.
In order to save Jihoon, he splits his soul in hald and mends it with Jihoon's to form one whole while he is left with the dark side of his soul.
Reqing went into a deep sleep leaving Jihoon in Lanhua's care for the time being.
Jihoon is now like a doll, he is incomplete and the part of Reqing in him wants to return to its original body.
That is everything, if you as the reader still does not understand, I do not know how else to explain this to you.
