Despite the small number of people, my hands inexplicably sweated.
Could it be that I pretended otherwise, but I was really nervous?
Repeatedly putting on and taking off the hated lace gloves, my lips, tightly clenched due to tension, chewed on the insides without knowing what to do. Feeling someone approaching, I raised my head, and a welcoming face appeared.
“Oh my! Aren’t you exceptionally beautiful today, Unni? Like a beautiful flower? You’re the prettiest bride I’ve ever seen!”
The one who lavished Jiyeon with compliments was her close junior, Eunwoo.
With just one word from her, Jiyeon, who was frozen with tension, felt the tension melt away.
Finally, as if wanting to feel the happiness of today, she smiled, blushing.
“Eunwoo, thank you for coming to Jeju. Did you come early?”
“I should naturally come to my sister’s wedding. Our lovely sister is the most beautiful. Oh, Taeu, Jiyeon Unni looks so beautiful today, right?”
When Eunwoo asked her husband, he nodded in agreement.
“Today, Jiyeon is as beautiful as our Eunwoo, right? Oh, Jiyeon Unni, you know this is the highest praise, right?”
At Eunwoo’s playful remark, the three burst into laughter.
Today was the day of Jiyeon and Kanghyun’s wedding.
Like every bride, Jiyeon woke up early in the morning to prepare for the numerous arrangements and wore the beautiful dress that her sister Ji-eun had given her as a gift.
Simple but flowing along the lines of her body, the slim-lined dress and the long trailing veil made the already pure Jiyeon look even more innocent and beautiful.
Following the suggestion of the mother-in-law Suwon, Jiyeon and Kanghyun prepared separately, agreeing to meet just before the wedding. Therefore, Jiyeon and Kanghyun had not seen each other’s prepared appearance.
Although she had met Kanghyun yesterday, it was a moment she had longed for more than ever.
Jiyeon’s mother, Goeun, and Kanghyun’s mother, Suwon, traveled all over the country, carefully selecting and choosing the wedding venue. It was a resort in Aewol, Jeju, overlooking the sea.
The resort, designed in collaboration with a famous Italian architect, radiated a more luxurious and beautiful atmosphere than any other place.
Above all, the well-maintained 1000-square-meter garden, with a breathtaking view of the sea, immediately led the two mothers to make a decision.
The beautiful wedding arch decorated with countless flowers, the white fabric and flower petals fluttering in the sea breeze, created a romantic wedding atmosphere.
After seeing the well-managed 1000-square-meter garden with countless flowers, the two mothers immediately made a decision.
The resort reserved the entire venue for 3 days, allowing guests who came to Jeju to enjoy and have fun like those attending a party.
This idea was another one of Jiyeon’s mom and mother-in-law’s ideas, who enjoyed the wedding preparations more than the couple themselves.
There were 2 more hours until the ceremony.
“It’s time for Mr. Kanghyun to arrive…….”
Sitting on the bride’s waiting seat adorned with a canopy made of white fabric and numerous flowers, Jiyeon greeted the arriving guests one by one. At that moment, he appeared, approaching slowly.
Looking at Kanghyun walking towards Jiyeon, she suddenly recalled the moment they first met and the time that passed like scenes from a movie.
The moment she first saw him, so cool that she couldn’t take her eyes off him. The day they went to a good restaurant together, not even knowing it was a date. When he took care of Jiyeon, who had fallen, and confessed. The night he provocatively kissed her after she playfully kissed him. The walks they took holding hands, even if there was nothing special.
To someone else, it might be ordinary, but to Jiyeon, each of these moments, more special than anything, came to mind one by one, bringing tears to her eyes.
How grateful she was, and how deeply she loved him—it was a feeling that couldn’t be expressed with any words.
“Oh, Bride! What’s happening? Oh my, don’t cry! Your makeup will smudge!”
A makeup artist who appeared out of nowhere spoke, taking Jiyeon’s tears away. Today, Jiyeon’s sister Ji-eun had invited a famous makeup artist from Cheongdam-dong.
She had been following Jiyeon around since early morning, constantly checking her makeup and hair.
No, it seemed like she had been nagging Jiyeon for hours.
“Today, you’re the most beautiful bride in the world. If you cry and smudge your makeup, it won’t do! You have to greet the handsome groom with a pretty face! No tears, no~.”
Yes, she should show a smiling face, not a crying one, to her beloved person.
Suppressing the tears that were about to flow from her eyes, Jiyeon greeted Kanghyun with a bright smile.
Fluttering.
As he approached, her heart was beating wildly.
As Kanghyun came closer to Jiyeon and left a few steps behind, he suddenly stood still, tilted his head towards the sky, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.
“Sigh… Really, this is too much.”
“What’s wrong, Mr. Kanghyun?”
After hesitating for a moment, Kanghyun continued.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
