The sound of crashing echoed once again. Gwacheon-daek, who took care of cooking and cleaning at Yu Ri’s house, paced anxiously.
“What should we do, what should we do, Madam?”
“Yu Ri, open the door. Okay? Talk to mom. What’s going on, huh?”
Although Ji Seung Hee knocked cautiously on the locked door, the terrible noise coming from her daughter’s room didn’t stop.
It was quite late at night by the time the birthday party ended and she had finished showering. Pale-faced, Ji Seung Hee followed Gwacheon-daek up to the second floor.
“Her hair, clothes, and even her stockings were a total mess. Smelled like wine, too… as if she poured it over herself…”
“And then what?”
“She took a bottle from the liquor cabinet as soon as she came home and went straight to her room, locking the door.”
“And you just let her?”
“I tried to stop her, but she pushed me away…”
Gwacheon-daek, seemingly shoved by Yu Ri, rubbed her arm where she might have hit something and bowed her head. Ji Seung Hee, seeing Gwacheon-daek’s agitation, told her to go downstairs and waited for her daughter’s anger to subside.
She resented her husband, who wouldn’t even take a look at times like this. It could be excused now since he was asleep drunk, but sober Dae Hoon wouldn’t make any effort to empathize with his daughter, only to scold her for causing a disturbance.
“Kang Tae Seo, Kang Tae Seo…!”
Angry cries followed by the sound of more breakage came from behind the door.
Was Kang Tae Seo the issue? It was vexing that the future son-in-law hadn’t shown up for the party. Given Yu Ri’s state, she probably had some trouble with Kang Tae Seo.
“Yu Ri, talk to mom, okay?”
The door finally opened after a long, anxious wait. The room visible through the opening was a disaster. Bookshelves and cabinet contents were scattered on the floor, vases shattered, and tables overturned.
“Yu Ri…”
Her daughter, her eyeliner smeared and running black under her eyes, was a mess. Even her wine-soaked dress and hair were still in disarray.
“What happened? Huh?”
“Mum…”
Yu Ri, reeking of alcohol and looking half-conscious, seemed on the brink of causing more trouble if left unchecked.
“Let’s clean up first. And why did you break the vase, so dangerously? Gwacheon-daek! Come up and clean this up!”
Ji Seung Hee carefully led Yu Ri to the second-floor bathroom, calling down the stairs for help.
Just a few hours ago, her daughter had been so elegantly dressed, but now everything was in disarray.
Not to mention being soaked in wine, the pearl decoration from her hairpin was gone, the hem of her fitted dress was torn in places, one earring was missing, and her neatly styled hair was now completely tousled.
“Is it because of Tae Seo…?”
As soon as they entered the bathroom, Ji Seung Hee tentatively began to speak, looking down at Yu Ri, who sat on the covered toilet, chewing on her smeared lips. Soon, her chin began to quiver, and then, with flaring nostrils, she burst into a monstrous cry.
“Mom, sob, mom…”
“There, there.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Ji Seung Hee pulled Yu Ri’s head into her embrace. It might ruin her favorite nightgown, but now was the time to console her daughter and get to the bottom of the story.
When Yu Ri’s sobbing calmed a bit, Ji Seung Hee pulled out a tissue to wipe her daughter’s cheeks and eyes.
“Have you calmed down?”
“…”
“Tell me what happened.”
Seeming to have her pride hurt, Yu Ri continued to stare at the bathroom floor with her mouth firmly shut.
“Yu Ri, huh?”
“…Yoon Jae In.”
Hearing that name from her daughter again, Ji Seung Hee’s brows hardened.
“Why are you mentioning her…”
“Yoon Jae In! That dirty creature!”
Upon hearing that name from her daughter again, Seung Hee’s brow furrowed.
“Why her again…”
“Yoon Jae In! That filthy creature!”
Seung Hee mustered her patience, waiting for Yu Ri to continue.
“That filthy one seduced Tae Seo. Mom, I hate it. I can tolerate everything else, but not Yoon Jae In with Kang Tae Seo. He’s mine, remember? You said Kang Tae Seo was mine even before I was born.”
“What are you saying, Yu Ri?”
“Kang Tae Seo took Yoon Jae In’s side. Mom, in front of everyone, he poured wine on me and then disappeared holding hands with Yoon Jae In. Mom! Why Yoon Jae In? Why her?”
Seung Hee’s vision wavered as she watched her daughter, still in a frenzy, throw bathroom items around.
“Are you sure? That Tae Seo is seeing Yoon Jae In, you’re sure about that?”
“Do I look like I’m making this up? I saw it with my own eyes! That’s my man clinging to her!”
“Yu Ri…”
“And Kang Tae Seo, if he was just seeing some female celebrities, I could’ve overlooked it. Like you said, Mom, a successful man might do that, and since he’s going to marry me eventually, I was ready to understand if it was just a fling before the wedding!”
“But it’s Yoon Jae In! I told you I hate her! You promised! You said you’d leave her barely breathing, struggling for life in America!”

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
