Se-ah stood in a country house with a large wooden porch. The sunlight dazzled through the flowers. Feeling happy, Se-ah twirled around as if dancing.
Creak, the big blue door swung open, and someone entered. It was a cheerful young woman with long hair, round eyes, and a smiling face.
“Mom?”
“Yes, it’s Mom.”
Recognizing her instantly, Se-ah’s mother smiled warmly. She put down a large bag and rushed over to embrace Se-ah.
“How have you been, my daughter? You’ve grown a lot.”
“Mom, why did you come now? I missed you so much.”
“It was far away.”
Se-ah’s trembling back, choked with tears, received endless comforting from her. After stopping Se-ah’s crying, her mother brought her to the large porch and made her sit down.
“Do you want to see what Mom brought?”
While unpacking on the wooden floor, her mother took out various things – pretty clothes, shoes, accessories like hairpins and headbands.
“I’m how old, and you want me to wear this… I’m already 26. This is something a baby would wear.”
Even as Se-ah pouted and complained, her mother just smiled warmly. Turning Se-ah around, she carefully combed her hair.
“Your hair is silky and lovely.”
“I guess I take after you.”
“I did have a lot of hair. I used to blow-dry my hair for an hour every morning.”
“Did you still manage not to be late for school while being fancy?”
Whether it was a secret or not, her mother didn’t answer.
After carefully tying Se-ah’s hair in various styles, her mother held up a handheld mirror for Se-ah to see. Tying it into a bun like a donut wasn’t a trendy style these days.
“What’s with the pigtail braids? If you tie them like this these days, they call it old-fashioned.”
“In Mom’s eyes, it’s pretty. Want me to do something else then?”
“Never mind. Just leave it.”
Anyway, it was something her mother did, so it was good.
Holding hands with her mother, they chatted until sunset. There was so much to say that even staying up for two or three nights wouldn’t be enough.
After listening to the not-so-boring gossip, her mother got up.
“Mom, are you leaving already?”
“I have to go now.”
Suddenly hurrying, Se-ah became anxious. She felt her heart fluttering, and tears started streaming down. Even though her feet felt rooted to the ground, she followed her mother quickly to the front door.
But unlike before, where her mother had a warm expression, she now had a stern expression as she grabbed the doorknob and pushed Se-ah away.
“Don’t follow me.”
“Let me go with you, Mom…”
“Se-ah. You’re an adult now. The person you should be with is not me but here. Where your husband is.”
“…But…”
“I’m so happy that you have a good husband. Treat your mother-in-law well and receive lots of love. Okay?”
In the warm embrace of her mother, Se-ah wept sorrowfully. Strangely, crying made her feel a bit relieved. Around the time she believed her daughter’s tears had stopped, her mother handed something to Se-ah. It was a seed of some kind.
“Mom, what is this?”
“I’ll find out later. Raise her preciously. Okay?”
“Okay.”
Only then did Mom open the door, smiling as if relieved. As Se-ah bid her tearful farewell to her mother, a sturdy hand pulled her. It was my most beloved husband in the world.
“Se-ah, let’s live here together. I’ll make you happy for the rest of my life.”
Nodding, Se-ah buried her head in the solid chest of Kang-woo.
“What flower should we plant?”
“Sure.”
Kang-woo, who had somehow brought a shovel, planted a seed in the ground. As soon as he planted it, a giant tree shot up to the sky.
The vivid dream lasted for a month without fading. And some time later, they found out the baby had come.
In the fifth week of pregnancy, when Se-ah saw the ultrasound picture showing the baby’s house, she burst into tears.
During the early stages of pregnancy, Kang-woo’s expression became stiff due to the doctor’s advice to be careful about everything. This man, who was not afraid of anything, was very nervous.
Leaning back on the sofa, Se-ah thought over the day. The helper had left after preparing dinner, and now only Kang-woo needed to come home.
When she heard the sound of the door unlocking, Se-ah stood up cautiously. Normally, she would have gone to the entrance with quick steps, but now it was her mother.
Kang-woo looked at Se-ah, who was carefully taking each step, as if she were cute.
“You don’t have to come out. I’ll come to you right away, Jisea.”
“Still, it would be nice if I greeted you when you came home from work.”
“That’s true.”
The hand that was gently patting Se-ah’s forehead moved down her cheek and gently covered her belly.
“Did you have a good time? My little bun.”
Kang-woo’s voice, which already firmly believed she was his daughter, was extremely gentle. Although he had never said he wanted a daughter, it felt like that.
When he saw a man carrying a daughter while walking together, Kang-woo’s gaze stopped for a moment. He was a man who had no interest in others. Also, the baby shoes and clothes they bought were unisex, but they were pink.

One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.

Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
