With trembling hands, she turned on her mobile phone. 180 missed calls.

As soon as she turned it on, she received another call from an unknown number.

“Have you spread rumors about having surgery after drinking somewhere?”

“Are you crazy? Why would I do such a thing?”

Something was undoubtedly wrong. Mal-hee barely managed to block the incessant incoming calls and called her son Hee-wook. Since Hee-wook didn’t answer, she called Hee-jin. Hee-jin also didn’t pick up. Perhaps Hee-jin had fallen asleep while monitoring the coin all night.
Her heart raced, but there wasn’t anything she could do about it.

Mal-hee, with an uneasy heart, sat back in front of the monitor and grabbed the PC mouse. Right now, just looking at the coin graph was all she could do.

“Why is this happening again…”

However, the coin graph that had filled the monitor disappeared, and a white window appeared. Suddenly, the internet connection wasn’t working.

“Hey, fix this. The internet isn’t working.”

Mal-hee asked her husband for help. Gyu-chil, who couldn’t go to his golf appointment due to the reporters guarding the house, came into the room and said,

“I don’t know. Everything, including the phone, is down now. Just wait a bit.”

“What?”

Upon inspection, the phone also couldn’t connect to the internet. Only calls and text messages were possible.

“Oh no, this is a big problem. Hey, quickly call Hee-jin.”

“If it’s urgent, you make the call. Is calling Hee-jin now the problem? I can’t even go outside right now because of you!”

She had to look at the 3 billion won worth of coins. Unable to say that, Mal-hee stomped her feet. Nevertheless, thinking that the coin graph had never dropped before, Mal-hee, with a somewhat hopeful feeling, sent a text message to Hee-jin.

Hee-jin, my internet isn’t working. Can you check the coin for me?

In the meantime, it seemed like there were more reporters than before. Mal-hee couldn’t understand why there was such a commotion.

1 p.m.

Having lunch and starting afternoon work, So-eun was approached by a man who handed her his business card.

“Excuse me. I’m Park Nam-hyuk, the reporter of the century. Are you Han So-eun, who posted on Bla Bla yesterday? I came because I have a few questions.”

So-eun was taken aback, and a security officer who noticed this rushed to So-eun’s place.

“What’s going on? If you bother our employee for something unrelated to work, we can report it to the police for obstruction of business.”

“Go ahead and report it.”

Following the stern warning from the security officer, Tae-jun’s voice followed. Tae-jun, who came down to check the atmosphere of the company, spoke after the security officers.

Two more security officers chased them, and the reporter went out as if he were being arrested. After Tae-jun also left the scene, the momentarily turbulent indoor environment quickly settled down.

So-eun took a deep breath and quietly resumed her work.

2 p.m.

Boom!

Hee-jin was startled by the sound of thunder and abruptly got up from bed. In front of her was her husband. He had kicked the door to wake Hee-jin.

“What, have you already finished work?”
Already feeling like time had passed so quickly, Hee-jin wiped her eyes and picked up her phone. There were over 30 missed calls, all from unknown numbers. She hadn’t noticed because it was on silent. The missed calls were full of unfamiliar numbers. Since taking out a loan of 1 billion won, she had been receiving many suspicious calls, wondering if someone had passed her number to strange places. Hee-jin, feeling uneasy once again, ignored them.

“It’s not even 2 o’clock yet. Why are you here? What did you leave?”

Her husband didn’t answer Hee-jin’s question and spoke confidently.

“I saw your mother-in-law’s personal information on the internet. Didn’t you see it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Your mother-in-law’s personal information is completely exposed on the internet right now! And reporters even called me!”

“What nonsense is this?”

“Your brother-in-law’s ex-girlfriend gave a long-term gift to your mother-in-law, and then she made duck egg omelets at your house. Now it’s all over the internet, and it’s chaos! Haven’t you checked?”

What? That can’t be true.

Hee-jin, holding her phone she had momentarily put down, entered her mother’s name, ‘Kim Mal-hee,’ into the internet search bar. Along with a photo, Mal-hee’s address and family relationships were all publicly disclosed. Under the name ‘Gan Dodo,’ meaning liver thief.

“Since reporters have called our company, it’s only a matter of time before they come to our house.”

Hee-jin’s pupils shook. Trying to call Mal-hee, she pressed Mal-hee’s contact number, and the call history of Mal-hee calling Hee-jin appeared. The last one was a text message asking Hee-jin to check the coins since the internet wasn’t working.

Although this situation was frustrating, what was important to Hee-jin was still money. Hee-jin immediately rushed to the next room and turned on the PC. Her husband continued to follow her, giving her constant complaints.

“Fine. Whether you play at home or contact our company, that’s fine. But what if they approach our brother-in-law? What are we going to do if our brother-in-law’s school life is affected when our family story is revealed? What are you going to do when everyone knows our faces and our family’s story?”

Listening to her husband’s words with her ears, Hee-jin connected to the coin wallet.

In the internet world, there was chaos, but in a few days, people would find other interests and leave. What was truly important was still money. With that in mind, Hee-jin stared at the monitor and blinked, wondering if she had seen something wrong.

“…Huh? My money… Where did it go?”

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.
