“It’s all because of you, Hye Ju…!”
Even though she knew it wasn’t Hye Ju’s fault, she couldn’t help but feel resentful.
Da Hee wanted to show Hye Ju who Seung Won belonged to. No, to be more honest, she wanted to cut them off completely. If there was even the tiniest opening between them, she wanted to eliminate it.
Without a second thought, Da Hee grabbed onto Seung Won’s collar. As his defenseless upper body was pulled closer, she immediately kissed him.
“!”
In an instant, Seung Won snapped out of it. He tried to push Da Hee away by gripping her waist, but she didn’t even flinch.
“Da Hee, why are you suddenly like this, you…!”
He managed to pull away, but Da Hee rushed at him again. Her strength was like that of a raging bull as she grabbed his neck and continued kissing him, her gaze fixed on Hye Ju.
“Look straight at me. See who Kang Seung Won belongs to!”
Hye Ju’s pupils, standing frozen, quickly blurred.
But Da Hee didn’t stop.
She couldn’t stop.
[DJ Karaoke]It was truly a night of madness.
Hye Ju let go of everything and sang her heart out until her voice was about to burst. As soon as she entered, she quickly entered the song numbers she usually enjoyed singing, completely oblivious to who was watching or what they were saying.
“Don’t insult me, a beautiful woman, don’t you dare…”
She turned up the volume to the maximum, shaking her head vigorously. Ju Won watched her with his arms crossed.
Hye Ju’s reservation was nearing the end of the thirty songs she had selected. She didn’t show it, but with each song that disappeared from the list at the top of the screen, Ju Won’s heart thumped.
“Is it my turn soon?”
Since becoming an adult, she had never sung in front of anyone.

The postkaraoke gathering, which never failed to happen anywhere and anytime, in a truly spirited and festive manner. Even during his study abroad in the United States, there was a karaoke room.
Among acquaintances who always sought out karaoke after having a few drinks, Ju Won never wavered even once and endured it steadfastly. Since he reluctantly accepted his mediocre, if not pathetic, singing ability, the karaoke room had become nothing short of a grave for him.
“Not bad.”
Hye Ju’s singing skills exceeded his expectations, increasing Ju Won’s tension.
He already lacked confidence in his own singing, so when the other person sang better than average, even someone like Kang Ju Won couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.
It was somewhat comforting to know that Hye Ju couldn’t dance well. Still, sweat continuously poured down his hands.
“Haah, haah. Now, it’s oppa’s turn.”
Wiping away the sweat dripping from her forehead, Hye Ju sat down. It was the first time she had actually planted her butt down since entering the karaoke room.
“Already finished? Sing more.”
“I can’t sing anymore because I’m out of breath. I’ll take a break, so why don’t you sing, oppa?”
Hye Ju’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she handed him the microphone.
“I feel like I’ve seen that look somewhere before.”
Ju Won clenched his fist with a sense of impending defeat.
A low and husky voice. Even his breath seemed pleasant. Many people had the same expectations for Ju Won’s voice, thinking that if he could handle DoReMiFaSoLaSiDo, he could surpass most singers.
How many times had those expectations been ruthlessly shattered and turned him into the button for laughter in this neighborhood?
“…Haah. Alright, let’s break it. What’s the big deal?”
As long as he could make Oh Hye Ju laugh, what did it matter if he embarrassed himself?
Ju Won made a firm decision and stood up.
“What are you going to sing?”

He pressed the song selection button, and Hye Ju asked him.
“Seo Si.”
“Oh, I really love that song! But isn’t it a really old song? From the old days!”
“A masterpiece transcends time.”
“Oh, can I expect something good?”
“No matter what you expect, it will exceed that.”
Soon, a calm intro began to play.
Ju Won lightly tapped his leg with his right hand in his pocket. His form of holding the microphone was as artistic as any ballad singer, if not more exquisite.
He had practiced countless poses with the thought that even if he couldn’t sing well, his form should at least look good. But in reality, only Ju Won knew the truth that his skillful pose made his singing ability look even worse.
“I’ve never seen a man who sings Seo Si well. If he can sing well on top of that, isn’t he a total scam character?”
Hye Ju looked at Ju Won with twinkling eyes. And…
3, 2, 1.
“I tried to leave before the sunset.”
“Phew!”
As soon as the first verse began, she spat out the water she had been drinking.
“Oh my goodness…”
She had never witnessed such a freely spirited melody since she was born.
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…
