Rumors had it that Dohwagung had even facilitated the marriage between Inyoung and Jin Youngcheol.
However, after Inyoung began to assert herself in K1 Construction, Park Chanwook stopped visiting Dohwagung.
Jin Youngcheol also did not seek other shamans after Dohwagung passed away, but as his political footing became unstable with the upcoming general election, he clearly felt anxious and sought out Haedanghwa.
The reason Jin Youngcheol could not explain why he went to that villa when the incident happened a year ago was because he wanted to hide the fact that he met Haedanghwa.
Seonwoo was incredulous that Jin Youngcheol met a shaman in secret at Choi Geonsik’s villa of all places, indicating how safe the people around Jin Youngcheol considered that villa.
“Did Han Muntak leak this article?”
Seonwoo recalled the pre-marriage contract between both families.
The situation where Han Muntak had to pay a penalty of 30 billion won was when Jin Youngcheol’s two pictures entering the villa were released to the public.
Cunningly, Han Muntak had delayed releasing the photo of Jin Youngcheol leaving the villa, a picture that would reignite controversy at a time when the previous scandal had almost been forgotten.
Sure enough, Goryeo Daily was quickly uploading follow-up articles related to this.
「Woman Accompanying Jin Youngcheol a Year Ago Revealed as Shaman Haedanghwa」
「Reason for Changing Electoral District, Shaman’s Advice?」
「Dependence on Fortune-Telling in Korean Politics, National Sigh」
Jin Youngcheol was facing a public backlash. There were sarcastic comments everywhere about how it was a close call electing such a person as a member of the National Assembly.
Then Seonwoo’s phone rang again. It was Director Ahn Yonggi.
“What about?”
After a moment of thought, Seonwoo gave instructions to Ahn Yonggi.
“Director Ahn, go to the Wide Current Affairs Office right away and first confirm if Han Muntak is there.”
“If Han Muntak is there, try to delay and hold him as long as possible.”
Ahn Yonggi was flustered. Right now, the ticking time bomb was Seonwoo’s father, Jin Youngcheol, but Seonwoo’s only concern seemed to be Han Muntak.
Seonwoo continued in a slightly urgent voice.
“Yonggi, I’m asking you a favor. Hold Han Muntak in the office until I get there.”
“Make sure my father doesn’t cause any major trouble.”
Ahn Yonggi found Seonwoo’s request troubling.
Having to keep an eye on Jin Youngcheol, who might cause a major incident while swinging a golf club, and simultaneously holding Han Muntak, who would surely try to escape, in the office was too challenging a mission.
But before he could complain, Seonwoo had hung up the phone and dialed another number.
“Please send three people to the address I just sent.”
After hanging up, Seonwoo hurriedly drove off.
While Green, exhausted from crying, was out of it, late at night, Han Muntak surreptitiously pushed a box into the room and disappeared.
When Green finally approached the door, it was securely locked again.
The box contained bottled water, cup noodles, instant rice, kimchi, seaweed, and canned side dishes. Seeing the electric kettle also included, Green let out a hollow laugh.
“How long do you intend to keep me locked up?”
Green shouted as if in agony, but there was no response.
Unable to sleep until dawn, Green finally dozed off in bed as the day broke.
Woken by the sound of the front door closing as Han Muntak left, Green finally got up. She then poured bottled water into the electric kettle to boil it.
‘I can’t stay trapped here helplessly anymore. I can’t just do nothing and wait for Seonwoo to rescue me.’
Green ate the cup noodles and mixed the remaining rice with it. It was hard to swallow, but she forced it down.
She had to eat something to regain her strength. What she had to do from now on required physical effort.
After eating, she opened the wardrobe. It was empty except for a thick scarf, a few scarves, and some socks she used to wear.
Green took out the scarf and wrapped it around her arms. She covered her face with several scarves, leaving only her eyes visible, and wore two thick hiking socks.
Prepared, she picked up the heaviest piece of furniture in the room, a chair, and swung it hard towards the window.
Crack!
The double-glazed window didn’t break easily from the strong impact. But there was hope. The inner window clearly had a crack.
If she could just open the window, she could call for help outside!
Green gathered her strength and swung the chair again.
One, two, as she swung more, the glass of the window began to crack dangerously.
Crash!
Finally, the sturdy inner window shattered. Glass shards flew into the room, but Green paid no attention. She felt a surge of accomplishment.
That’s when it happened.
“Green, are you in there, Green?”
Seonwoo’s urgent voice came from outside the door.
“Yes, I’m here.”
With a trembling voice, Green responded, and shortly after, the firmly shut door burst open with a tremendous noise.
Through the half-broken door, Jin Seonwoo stood panting heavily.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
