“Let’s have meals together more often, Dad.”
In-young responded, and Chan-wook nodded.
“Family is important. You can always trust your true family.”
Green and Seon-woo, each recalling their own fathers, did not agree with Chan-wook’s praise of family but remained silent during the meal.
Everyone realized that even the great Park Chan-wook had softened with age.
After dinner, Chan-wook playfully asked Green,
“Do you know how to play Go?”
“I can’t play Go, but I’m pretty good at Omok.”
“Omok?”
Chan-wook grimaced in disappointment, but Green immediately retorted,
“I’ve never lost at Omok. Even my father can’t beat me at it.”
“Really? Then how about playing Omok with me?”
“Sure. How about the loser grants a wish to the winner?”
Park Chan-wook burst into laughter at Green’s bold proposal.
“Agreed. But don’t resent me after you lose.”
As Park Chan-wook and Green went to the study to play Omok, Seon-woo, Park In-young, and Jin Yeong-cheol were left in the living room.
In-young served tea to her husband and son. After sipping his green tea, Jin Yeong-cheol spoke to his wife.
“I’ve already told Seon-woo, but it looks like we can proceed with the divorce lawsuit soon.”
“You found a witness?”
In-young didn’t seem surprised, as if she already knew about Yeong-cheol’s situation. He nodded.
“I bought cigarettes that day at the villa. The problem is, I can’t remember where I bought them.”
“…”
“There are four stores nearby that sell cigarettes, but none of them remember seeing me. It was driving me crazy.”
Yeong-cheol gulped down the tea as if recalling the frustration.
“But a few days ago, one shop owner called me. He said I bought cigarettes at his store, and it’s recorded on his son’s car’s dashcam.”
“How could footage from a year ago still be there?”
“That day, his son’s family from Seoul parked in front of the shop, and they had an accident on their way back. So, they kept that day’s video file, which he only remembered recently.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Now, even if we divorce, that scoundrel Han Mun-taek can’t blackmail me anymore with that day’s photos. I have a witness and evidence to claim my innocence.”
Yeong-cheol spoke triumphantly, expecting praise and admiration from In-young. But she was looking at Seon-woo, whose face showed no expression.
“What’s your plan after divorcing Seon-woo?”
“I’ll enter politics right away. I’ll find a strong backing family for him.”
Yeong-cheol quickly added, in case In-young worried about Seon-woo’s future.
“The daughters of the National Assembly Speaker and the former party leader both seem interested in Seon-woo, so don’t worry about his remarriage.”
“I see.”
In-young nodded at Yeong-cheol’s words and then turned to Seon-woo.
“Do you plan to follow your father’s words?”
“No. I have no intention of entering politics. Nor of divorcing.”
“Jin Seon-woo, you!”
Despite Yeong-cheol’s angry shout, Seon-woo’s face showed a firm resolve.
“Staying at K1 Construction means that, right?”
“Yes.”
In-young looked at Seon-woo and said,
“I hope that decision doesn’t change.”
“Grandfather, can’t you let me win just once?”
“No way, you brat!”
“Wow, seriously! Even my father, the most self-centered person in the world, let me win once.”
“I won, right? That’s five games you lost!”
“Yes, make your wish. Just don’t ask for anything expensive!”
As Green cutely pouted her lips at Park Chan-wook, he laughed heartily. Somehow, meeting with Green always led to laughter.
After the laughter subsided, Park Chan-wook studied Green’s face. His gaze held a mix of pity and coldness.
“From now on, I’m going to make things difficult for you, child. But don’t hate me too much.”
“What do you mean?”
Startled, Green looked anew at Park Chan-wook. The kind grandfather from the neighborhood was no longer there.
Green’s lips were stubbornly pursed, and her gaze, sharp yet devoid of any emotion, seemed endlessly merciless. A chill ran through her body, causing an involuntary shiver.
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.
