He had let her be, finding her useful at times, but as she grew, she increasingly defied him and rebelled. This was evident two years ago when she met Kang Min Hyuk.
“Thinking about the past won’t change anything,” Su Cheol muttered, flicking his tongue in disdain over memories already passed.
Yeon Sil had been in a coma for over ten years.
“No one knows what I’ve done,” Su Cheol thought, certain that his secrets would remain hidden forever, even after his death.
His eyes clouded over, certain he could take his secrets to the grave, believing himself capable of the perfect crime.
Coming back to reality, Su Cheol pressed the call button on his phone and brought it to his ear.
The ringtone went on for a while, his anger simmering at Da Hyun for not answering.
He wanted to rush to Da Hyun’s house immediately but decided to wait patiently this time.
Da Hyun may despise him, but she wouldn’t dare ignore his call. Eventually, she would have to answer.
With Yeon Sil in his control, Da Hyun couldn’t refuse his demands.

Clearing his throat, Su Cheol heard Da Hyun’s voice on the other end after a long wait.
Seeing the word ‘Father’ on her phone’s screen, Da Hyun felt a headache coming on.
She didn’t want to answer, knowing it wouldn’t be for anything good.
“Yes, Father.”
[Where is that guy?]Hearing Su Cheol’s voice demanding to know Min Hyuk’s whereabouts immediately after picking up the phone, Da Hyun frowned.
“He should be in the study. What’s going on?”
[Prepare to divorce him. The moment the news about Yu Song participating in the AI project is released, your usefulness is over.]Da Hyun was dumbfounded at Su Cheol’s abrupt demand for a divorce.
She was accustomed to such behavior from her father, consistently unnerving but not hurting her anymore.

“What are you talking about?”
Files from Yu Song? Da Hyun’s eyes narrowed, sensing Su Cheol deliberately withholding the truth.
[Don’t bother with the details. Just sweet-talk Min Hyuk into deleting it.]“Father, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
[What do you know about management? Just do as your father tells you.]“…”
[Not answering? Don’t you want to see your mother? You always say you miss her.]Da Hyun remembered how Su Cheol usually scoffed when she expressed a desire to see Yeon Sil.
She couldn’t help but find his current stance ludicrous.

“Are you threatening me with Mom now?”
[Threat? It’s a deal. Get as much alimony as possible. This is all for your good.]“For my good?”
It was clear to anyone that this was for Su Cheol’s benefit, not hers.
Da Hyun didn’t want to exhaust herself with endless questions for Su Cheol. She knew he wouldn’t listen, and it would only leave her feeling drained.
“Alright. I’ll let you meet your mother.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Da Hyun didn’t respond immediately. Su Cheol seemed unaware of her pregnancy, which was a relief. Given the current situation, if he knew, he would surely exploit the pregnancy for some other manipulative demand.
“What’s there to think about? Are you defying me now?!”
“He’s my husband. I need time to think.”
Da Hyun replied calmly and firmly to Su Cheol’s outburst.

Su Cheol scoffed at her response.
“What’s so important about a husband in name only? Have you fallen in love with that guy so quickly? You’re as foolish as ever. Just like your mother, always prattling about love.”
Da Hyun’s face turned cold at Su Cheol’s vile tone, intertwining her and her mother in his derogatory remarks.
She gripped the phone tighter.
“Father, I’m going to hang up now. Min Hyuk seems to be coming.”
“I’ve made it clear. Do as I say, and you’ll see your mother. It’s your choice – her or that man.”
Click.
Su Cheol hung up before she could respond.
Min Hyuk coming was a lie. Da Hyun stared at the disconnected phone and bit her lower lip.
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.
