‘Eun Ji Yeon…… why does the name sound familiar……?’
“You must have heard a lot about Onyu Pharmaceuticals. It’s a very solid company with high marketability, including its subsidiaries. I got to know Chairman Eun and proposed a marriage with his third child. I met the girl a few times, and she was very pretty and smart. Her family was hesitant about marrying within the family, but just in time, the third child said she knows you well…… She gave a positive response about marrying you. You two are school seniors and juniors.”
Then there was a name that suddenly popped up in Min Woo’s mind.
‘That Eun Ji Yeon who kept following me around like a gum sticker when I was in college!’
Min Woo knew her too.
After returning to school, at some point, a rumor started that the daughter of a chaebol family, Eun Ji Yeon, had started following him.
However, at that time, Min Woo was hopelessly in love with Se Ah and had no interest in her, and was even more bothered by such rumors, so he wasn’t curious at all about which chaebol family she was from.
There were several times when he had big fights with Se Ah after she heard the rumor, and he just didn’t want to create any more trouble.
It had been several years since then, but she had been bothering him from then until now.
Min Woo didn’t say it out loud, but he was very annoyed by the girl whose appearance had faded to the point where he barely remembered her.
“I have absolutely no intention of entrusting this company to a son who is choked by trivial emotions like love. However, if you accept this match, I am willing to reconsider the next management structure. So think carefully and respond.”
This conversation was also proof that the name ‘Cha Min Woo’ was not in Chairman Cha’s mental image of the management team.
Despite working tirelessly and putting all his effort, his father still did not acknowledge his efforts.
‘Cha Geun Woo’ and ‘Cha Jae Woo’.
What made them better, what made them so great that they were in your picture and I wasn’t, aside from being the children of your wife.
A sense of inferiority towards his stepbrothers, which had been accumulating since he was young, was rising from deep within his stomach, and Min Woo tightly closed his lips as if he was about to swear.
“……”
“The love you’re talking about is just a hormone imbalance in the brain. It disappears and fades in 23 years, and at times, it’s an emotion that can hold you back.”
The look in Chairman Cha’s eyes as he looked at Min Woo, biting his tongue, was full of contempt.
“I can’t give you much time. Give me an answer next week. I look forward to your wise judgment.”
Having said all he had to say, Chairman Cha stood up from his seat.
Left alone, Min Woo was so enraged that he found it difficult to breathe, and his face was flaming red.
Why do I have to be a chess piece to be sold!
Why can’t I be recognized if I don’t catch this!
Why is that girl still tormenting me!
However, despite being filled with anger and rage, Min Woo’s ultimate choice was Eun Ji Yeon.
What he had been longing for all his life.
Being acknowledged by Chairman Cha and becoming the next successor. Truly becoming the next chairman of C&C Global.
For that, there could be no other choice.
Chairman Cha always did what he said, especially what he wanted to do.
Min Woo knew that all too well.
Then first, after marrying Eun Ji Yeon and having his name in the management, he just had to break up with her.
Once he was in the management, he just had to show his abilities so he would not fall into the abyss again.
Beautiful and lovely Jeong Se Ah. He firmly believed that she would surely understand him.
But reality was not as simple as he thought.
If he had not accepted the marriage with Eun Ji Yeon, he might have been in some department as a perennial manager or deputy.
And, even after getting his name in the management, the reality was too insecure.
His halfbrothers were not as foolish or stupid as Min Woo thought.
They, too, had systematically stepped through all the elite courses necessary for a management class since they were young, and were working more fiercely in the company than anyone else.
Those who dreamed the same dream as Cha Min Woo were ruthlessly charging, not picking means and ways to become the top executive of C&C after Chairman Cha.
It was a much more difficult and complicated road than expected.
So he had also been holding onto his marriage with Ji Yeon, which he had expected to last a year.
Min Woo shook his head to clear his thoughts.
Now that it had come to this, to introduce Se Ah to his father, he had to make her better.
Even if it was somewhat like Eun Ji Yeon, whom his father liked so much.
“So, what do you want me to do? What should I prepare for?”
Se Ah’s sharp voice hit his ears.
When did it start? When did Se Ah’s pretty and melodic voice become so sharp?
She was always smiling, beautiful, smooth, and followed everything Min Woo wanted.
He couldn’t see her like that recently.
“First, learn some cooking. Father likes good food. I’ll send you the location and contact. The chef is wellknown, you’ll recognize the name. The place is so famous that it’s not easy to book, so go and learn well.”
After that, Min Woo pushed away the plate in front of him.
“Stop buying this kind of delivered food. I usually don’t eat breakfast if it’s not a proper meal. And Se Ah, you put too much MSG in your food, it’s too salty.”
“What… what?”
Se Ah’s face turned red in resentment and sadness as she faced Min Woo, who bluntly criticized the food she bought and her occasional cooking.
Giving a criticism all at once like this after saying nothing all along.
“How do I react when you suddenly confront me like this after staying silent usually?”
“That’s why I’m telling you now.”
When Min Woo said this with a serious face, Se Ah, who seemed to want to say more, closed her mouth.
“Why don’t you take this opportunity to go to mother and learn some housework? If you do well, won’t you get closer to mother?”
He swallowed the words ‘like Ji Yeon’.
“You know that mother doesn’t like me. After seeing what happened last time, can you still say such a thing?”
Suddenly, an agitated Se Ah glared at Min Woo unknowingly.
“Fine. Then you should learn it all by yourself.”
“People can be hired, for both cooking and cleaning. It’s said that professionals do it better these days.”
Min Woo let out a heavy sigh.
“Do the cleaning however you want. But you have to learn cooking. You also want to look good in front of our parents, don’t you? Then, you should be good at something. Would you say such a thing in front of our parents?”
Min Woo thought he had conceded a lot for Se Ah.
‘Se Ah, you’re not exactly doing anything else, are you? But why can’t you do this?’
“I’m not talented in cooking. And if I cook, my hands will get rough, and my nails will get ruined.”
At Se Ah’s grumbling, Min Woo coldly responded.
“This isn’t about compromising with you. I just want you to follow.”
He refrained from saying ‘if you want to live in this house’.
Se Ah had never seen Min Woo speak so harshly before.
‘Where has the Cha Min Woo who desperately clung to me gone? Where is the man who was so distressed for three years that he cried every day in my mind?’
She wanted to question him, but for some reason, she felt it wasn’t the right time and closed her mouth.
“Anyway, just know that. And besides cooking, you’ll have to learn a few more things, which I will tell you gradually. First, learn cooking. I can’t eat this kind of delivery food anymore. It’s my limit.”
With that, he put down his spoon.
“And squeeze the juice yourself. The preservatives in storebought ones smell too strong.”
Saying so, he lifted the cup in front of him and poured the juice that was in it into the sink.
A stunned Se Ah couldn’t close her mouth.
It was the day when a layer of the blinders, which had been thickly overlaid on each other’s eyes, was peeled off.

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.
