A Marriage with an Expiry (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
Director’s Office, Seohan Hospital.
Guk Hwan sat facing Seon Hwa, who had come to see him the moment he returned from abroad.
“Your trip abroad was quite long.”
“Was it? My schedule was so tight I didn’t have a moment to contact you.”
Still jet-lagged and clearly exhausted, Guk Hwan asked this after being dragged into work before even adjusting to the time difference—all because of Seon Hwa’s relentless, almost obsessive calls.
“You called me a lot. Is something wrong?”
“Is something wrong? Director.”
Seon Hwa let out a hollow laugh and stared coldly at Guk Hwan—her demeanor completely reversed from when she’d begged him for support.
“I’ve been thinking it over carefully. Ignoring my calls for days on end is clear proof that I make you uncomfortable, isn’t it?”
“Why would Chairman Baek be uncomfortable to me?”
“If not that, then did you go to America and secure some funding?”
“Chairman Baek, really—why are you acting like this?”
His unease wouldn’t go away. He felt as though he were being deceived somehow.
And crucially, Director Seo Guk Hwan’s passive attitude was irritating Seon Hwa.
If she couldn’t have Seo Hyun Woo anyway, there was no longer any reason to grant Director Seo Guk Hwan more time.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
