The luxurious party came to an end. Kang-woo took charge of handling the aftermath, and only Hyun-suk and Se-ah were seated at a table. Se-ah, who had been silently observing without uttering a word, held Hyun-suk’s hand.
“Mother…”
The question of whether everything was okay didn’t come out. After living as a couple for such a long time, how could anything be okay? Yet, Hyun-suk smiled first.
“Se-ah, I’m fine.”
“…Yes.”
“You don’t have to make that face. I’m considering it the best thing I’ve done in over fifty years.”
Hyun-suk firmly held Se-ah’s hand, resting on her hand.
“I thought everything would be fine if I endured it alone… but I regretted it. I shouldn’t have clung to regrets and caused harm to my son. I’m sorry for not understanding Se-ah’s hardships all this time.”
“…No. I’m the one who is sorry for not being honest, startling and troubling you and Mr. Kang-woo… sob…”
Now that the truth was finally revealed, Se-ah burst into tears. In contrast, Hyun-suk remained composed, wiping away her child’s tears and patting her shoulders.
“I’m fine, so you two combine your strength and endure well together. There will be many difficult times ahead.”
“Instead of saying that, Mother, just stay with us. Okay?”
“Now that things have eased a bit, why should I live in your house? Take it easy, move your house slowly, and let’s live comfortably from now on.”
“Then, at least for a while, stay with us. I’m so worried.”
Moved by Se-ah’s warm-heartedness, Hyun-suk eventually nodded.

As expected, the world turned upside down. The media reported on the two-faced politician Cha Nam-tae, and the public fell into panic.
Nam-tae not only was arrested but also expelled from the party. The illegal election campaign and exploitation case involving Nam-tae, with over a hundred accomplices, were exposed, causing public outrage.
In addition, Kang-woo, Nam-tae’s son, faced criticism as the details of his father’s wrongdoings were revealed. Kang-woo held a press conference, humbly accepting public criticism for his father’s mistakes, promising full cooperation with the prosecution’s investigation and apologizing.
The prosecution initiated a comprehensive investigation, seizing not only Kang-woo’s office but also the computers of lower-level accounting staff for a thorough examination.
A few tumultuous weeks passed. Although the prosecution stated that CI Soft had no connection to the Cha Nam-tae case, lingering suspicions affected the stock prices, creating instability.
Shareholders and investors expressed their anger, and the new collaboration partner, Double. Devil, also revealed discomfort.
Moreover, the performance of the game released this month was lower than usual. The company’s credibility had plummeted.
Despite all this, Kang-woo calmly carried on with his work when he emerged from his office.
After finishing a call with the head director of Double. Devil, his secretary, Choi, entered. Since there was supposed to be a report following immediately, Kang-woo looked at Choi when she didn’t appear.
“For something like this, it’s not surprising, so you can just proceed as usual.”
With Kang-woo’s joking comment lightening the mood, Secretary Choi also smiled.
“Uh… Senior Executive Lee from G-Coms is here. Despite being told you were absent, he insisted on waiting until the CEO arrives. I refrained from calling security to avoid escalating the situation for now.”
“Since when?”
“Two hours ago.”
Perplexed, Kang-woo raised the corner of his mouth.
“Just tell him to come in.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, I should mention, the car is ready. It won’t take long.”
“Understood.”
Min-young immediately opened Kang-woo’s office door. After glancing at Secretary Choi, who was standing at a distance, he abruptly closed the door.
“We should water the secretary.”
“It would be a waste to leave her just as a secretary.”
With a cold response, Min-young clenched her fist and stared through Kang-woo.
“You came here to say something.”
“Thinking everyone might be dying, I came because my heart ached. At least your nose is still alive.”
“When I go home, my wife will comfort me.”
Suddenly, Min-young burst into loud laughter.
“How much comfort can you get from just empty words?”
Without permission, Min-young took off her trench coat and casually draped it over the head of the sofa. Occupying the prime spot on the sofa without asking, she placed her Chanel bag on the table.
It looked as if Min-young were the owner of this company. Kang-woo quietly let Min-young do as she pleased.
“Come over here. I have something to say.”
“I don’t have much to listen to, so I’ll stay here.”
With a leisurely response, Min-young abruptly stood up. She retrieved a document envelope from her handbag and confidently walked over to Kang-woo’s desk.
Tap. She threw the envelope onto the desk. Until then, Kang-woo didn’t raise his head. Only when Min-young looked at him with an arrogant face did he reluctantly lift his chin.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
