“I wish he would have put it on my neck.”
Even though she knew she had no right to be disappointed, she grumbled unnecessarily.
He gave me a ring, nailed down a timelimited marriage condition, and passed the final decision over to me.
‘Until you become a specialist, I can be of considerable help. I think it’s not a loss for you under such conditions.’
Indeed, his conditions were not disadvantageous to me.
Because it was a marriage that left no trace.
Simply, now he just needed a formal wife to blind his family’s eyes.
I already knew it wasn’t a marriage proposal because he liked me, but bitterness surged.
It was getting increasingly difficult to face him, always perfect and cool as a professor at the hospital.
And I didn’t want to give up because getting married to my longadmired first love was like a dream.
“Oh, it’s complicated.”
Sori dropped her head, clutching her hair with both hands.
Why is it that when you’re about to get married, worry precedes excitement?
Even though I like him so much, will I be able to get divorced later?
Could I really get out of Seo Hyun Woo’s swamp easily?
Even while worrying about these things, the desire to try this timelimited marriage once if it was a love that couldn’t be achieved anyway, gradually grew.
If he has to marry some other woman in any way.
I’d rather it was me.
Yes, I’m the one who’s making my own fate, so what?
“Phew.”
Deciding to stop worrying, she let out a long sigh and leaned her cheek on the desk.
She closed her eyes for a moment due to exhaustion.
Rrrrrrr.
The phone rang.
Heeeek.
Startled by the bell, Sori quickly sat up. She seemed to have fallen asleep after just closing her eyes for a while.
“What time is it now?”
It was a little past 4 a.m.
If the phone rings at this time, it was a call from an emergency patient. Sori, who regained her senses, quickly answered the phone.
“Yes. I’ll go down right away.”
A little later.
There was a small quarrel in the emergency room.
Although the emergency room is sometimes a place where noisy incidents occur, the situation seemed quite serious now.
“It can’t be done.”
Sori stood, arms spread out, protecting the patient.
She was in a standoff with two sturdy men in military uniforms.
Perhaps because of the intimidating feeling that the military uniforms exuded, more and more people started to watch.
Not only the patients in the emergency room, but also the nurses affiliated with the emergency room and the passing doctors.
At this, the faces of the men in military uniforms gradually hardened.
“It seems that the doctor doesn’t know something, but originally, soldiers in South Korea are supposed to be treated at military hospitals.”
“Transferring the patient in this state is a murderous act. Is such a principle important? When a person’s life is hanging by a thread?”
Sori responded in a serious tone, then looked at the patient lying on the bed with a grave expression.
The patient, Choi Jae Pil, with a youthful face of 21 years, was lying there, having lost even the faint consciousness he had.
He was an activeduty soldier in South Korea.
A patient who had been rushed to the emergency room this dawn, wearing his uniform with a single chevron.
The cause of death was acute subdural hemorrhage.
“This patient needs immediate surgery. You absolutely cannot take him.”
“Are you willing to violate military law now?”
“I’m not a soldier, so what happens if I violate military law?”
It was a ridiculous assertion, but Sori shot back sharply.
“If violating military law becomes a problem later, isn’t going to jail the solution? I’ll go. To jail. But this can’t happen under any circumstances.”
“Don’t women understand? Is there a male doctor here with a higher rank?”
“Excuse me!”
At the rude words, another soldier stepped forward and asked politely as Sori raised her voice.
“What is the reason for all this…”
“Acute subdural hemorrhage. It’s a symptom typically caused by external shocks such as falls, traffic accidents, assaults. What do you think this implies?”
“You misunderstand. A simple accident…”
Sori, who knew the military was a closed organization, had her head filled with horrific imaginations.
“We can only know that when the patient wakes up. No matter how busy I am, I watch the news, and I know what I need to know. Whether I’m a woman who doesn’t serve in the military or not. Regardless of the reason, this patient cannot be moved under any circumstances.”
“…..”
“If you really want to take him, take him after the surgery and when his condition is reported. The CT shows a considerable amount of bleeding. It might look okay on the surface now, but if he gets brain edema, it’ll be a disaster. Do you understand?”
The soldiers couldn’t hide their awkward expressions at Sori’s momentum.
Sori gave instructions to the intern.
“Secure the OR (Operating Room), and report to Professor Seo.”
“Yes.”
Everyone held their breath at the energy emanating from the usually calm Sori, and they followed her. Even the intern, who still had sleep in her eyes, moved swiftly.
The soldiers who had been watching the situation began to whisper to each other.
Sori, protecting patient Choi Jae Cheol, kept a stern eye on them.
One of the soldiers made a phone call somewhere, possibly trying to forcibly transport him.
Something about a helicopter, something about an ambulance.
In the meantime, Seo Hyun Woo appeared.
Hyun Woo had heard a rough story from the intern on his way here.
When Sori saw Hyun Woo, her eyes lit up as if she had obtained strong reinforcements.
Hyun Woo gauged the situation with his usual impassive face.
One of the soldiers who had been confronting Sori approached Hyun Woo. Seeing a male doctor who would likely understand, he openly showed signs of relief.
“Finally, someone who seems to understand. That woman over there wants to operate without knowing the military law. We are taking this patient.”
But from the beginning, Hyun Woo didn’t listen to what the soldier was saying.
He directly spoke to Sori in a soft voice.
“What are you doing? Move him to the OR (operating room) right now.”
At Hyun Woo’s words, both Sori and the intern exchanged glances and clenched their fists.
The other nurses who had been watching also blocked the two soldiers as soon as they heard Hyun Woo’s decision. The intern quickly pushed the patient’s bed.
And at that moment, a woman who appeared to be the patient’s guardian ran into the emergency room, crying.
“Jae, Jae Chul!”
“Are you the mother of patient Choi Jae Chul?”
“Yes! Doctor, what’s wrong with my son?”
“Your son needs immediate surgery.”
The mother, watching her son being taken away, felt her knees buckle.
Sori helped the mother, who was the guardian.
As things got complicated, one soldier ran his dry hand over his face.
7 a.m.
The morning after the emergency room commotion was rather chilly.
The reason being that Sori, who had been planning to rest for a moment, was dragged by Se Hun.
Se Hun, who thought he had been targeted by Hyun Woo because of Sori since the welcome dinner on the first day, always gave her an uncomfortable look when he saw her.
He always tasked Sori with all sorts of annoying work and went out to smoke with Ki Tae.
Simply put, she was seriously annoying. And she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Sori, leaning against the blank wall, kept her head down and stood with her arms crossed.
Exhaling through his nose, Se Hun started to get angry.
“Hey, first year, didn’t I clearly tell you not to cause trouble on the first day? Seems like you think my words are crap.”
“No, I didn’t.”
“What do you mean, no? You little shit.”
Meanwhile, Hyun Woo, who occasionally went up to the rooftop garden, perked up his ears at the sound of loud noises coming from somewhere.
From behind a pillar in the corner of the rooftop, a harsh voice was coming out.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
