Back in the early days of middle school. If I remember the friend of my older brother, whom I occasionally ran into, until now, that was weirder. The name is different, and she has grown a lot taller. The thick-rimmed glasses are also gone.
<Yoon Dajeong, I sincerely love you. Lee Jaeho>
It wasn’t difficult. Writing that I love you. Unfortunately, each letter was so blatantly sincere.
I couldn’t figure out how to spend this time wisely, so I was frustrated. Although I wrote the characters very slowly, eventually the end came, and I couldn’t delay any longer. I handed the paper to Dajeong.
“Here you go.”
“Thank you!”
“Dajeong, do you also love me?”
“Huh? Oh! Yes! A lot! I’ve been a fan since your debut. Thank you!”
The progress staff, who knew nothing about Jaeho’s sincerity, quickly gestured towards the next person, and Dajeong stepped back. Jaeho, now relieved, requested a break.
He called Director Jung.

“Director. Mark that woman who just left. She’s the Yoon Dajeong I was looking for.”
So it happened.
Since Dajeong appeared as Jaeho’s fan, he could collect everything about her. Her profession, where she lives, her hobbies, circumstances, and even friends.
The only thing left to do was to approach naturally, and neither Byunghoon nor Director Jung could come up with a better idea. After several attempts to DM were blocked by Byunghoon, and the argument that he would wait in front of her house was broken by Director Jung, Jaeho had nothing more to do. Especially since her profession was a nurse, making any connection with the broadcasting industry seem unlikely.
“Hyung! It seems like an opportunity has come. A chance to reunite with Nuna Dajeong.”
In the end, you were the one who extended your hand first, even in approaching. Jaeho had no room for hesitation.
Already waiting for 13 years.
The board meeting of affiliated companies under the TaeMyung conglomerate was held. It was a place where major issues such as M&A and internal transactions were decided.
In particular, discussions about the poor performance of TaeMyung Insurance and the new business in the digital content sector were expected to be handled importantly. Representatives of each affiliated company were all in attendance.
Jaeho, an external director, didn’t necessarily have to attend, but he changed his mind the day before and informed them that he would attend. He considered it his duty to get a little closer to TaeMyung, thanks to the generous favor his grandfather had shown.
TaeMyung Construction’s representative, Lee Jinhyuk, was one of the most influential directors, followed by Jaeho’s aunt, Jung Hyesoo, who led TaeMyung Entertainment, and his relative, TaeMyung Insurance’s Lee Jongtae. Various other affiliated companies, including TaeMyung Food, Energy, Bio, and more, followed.

Since these were the individuals who wielded the most powerful influence in TaeMyung, Jaeho occasionally interacted with them. Even if he hid his existence as an heir, he couldn’t hide it from the board members. He even shared meals once or twice a year with those he was close to.
Lee Seokhoon, the representative of TaeMyung Food, who treated Jaeho like a grandson, greeted him warmly.
“Even the famous actor who’s hard to see has attended!”
“Representative, how have you been?”
“How are you becoming more handsome? I should learn your secret. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, but my granddaughter avoids me these days.”
Jaeho laughed heartily.
“You’re still wonderful. And Nayeon avoids you because of the smell of cigarettes. Last time, she made a face because of it.”
Lee Jinhyuk and Jung Hyesoo also greeted him with warm smiles. Lee Jinhyuk, who was full of benevolent smiles, inquired about Jaeho’s well-being and health, guiding him to his seat. Jung Hyesoo followed suit.
“It’s always enviable how close you are.”
“If that’s the case for my brother, it’s only right for me to take care of him more.”

Lee Jinhyuk patted Jaeho’s shoulder, laughing. Finally, when Lee Heontae entered, the meeting began.
While significant details related to corporate management were mentioned, Jaeho did not speak. Most of the matters had been internally reviewed before the board meeting was convened, so there was no need to ask further questions. The directors nodded from time to time.
Some of them were a bit busy-eyed, thinking about Heontae’s intentions behind Jaeho’s attendance at the board meeting.
Regarding the poor performance of TaeMyung Insurance, last time, Jaeho’s suggestion was presented as one alternative. The plan was to reorganize the business expenses by expanding the role of the digital platform.
As expected, it was a somewhat tedious and lengthy meeting.
Jung Hyesoo, leading TaeMyung Entertainment, continued with her speech.
“As you may know, the global OTT market is expanding. It’s projected to reach a staggering $1.2416 trillion in size ten years from now, with an annual growth rate of 26.4%. Our TaeMyung Entertainment succeeded in the acquisition and merger of ‘Hama Studio’ two years ago and plans to rescue 1,000 source IPs by next year. If we actively increase high-quality original content, we can expect significant results.”
Hyesoo paused for a moment, and her gaze briefly touched and then dropped from Jaeho.
“The most important thing in the original content market is, of course, actors. Good scripts and good production can be expected when influential actors are cast. So, I’d like to suggest, Director Jaeho Lee, to actively participate in our TaeMyung Entertainment original content business for about the next five years. If you take on the role of the protagonist in the feature-length drama ‘Greed,’ which is currently in the planning stage for a seasonal release, we anticipate even greater development.”
If you take on the role of the protagonist.
It wasn’t about taking on a business role; it was simply a request for him to roll on the field as an actor.

Jaeho, who had been looking down slightly, slowly blinked and raised his head.
Knowing how much time is invested in producing a feature-length drama planned for seasonal release over the next five years was akin to saying, “Don’t get involved in management for the next five years.” From the last gathering until today, the purpose of openly reminding Jaeho that he was an actor was so obvious that it was laughable.
With a slightly tilted smile, Jaeho looked at Lee Heontae, who was seated in the VIP seat.
“May I say something?”
Heontae asked with his eyes, but Jaeho shook his head.
Tap, tap.
Jaeho checked the microphone’s volume and leisurely brought it closer.
“Representative Jung Hyesoo.”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
