Opening the door, Okhee standing there was elegant and refined, much like when she first came to this house. However, her red eyes and eerie expression resembled a beast, at least in the eyes of Hyesuk and Seontae. Or, at least, that’s how it appeared to them. Slowly approaching, Okhee glared at Seontae as if she could tear him apart and said again,
“Min Seontae, look me in the eyes and say what you just said again.”
This time, calmly, without shouting. Seontae, too surprised, was at a loss for words.
“What’s going on? No, why are you here? You said you were going shopping today, so why are you here? Did you lie to me?”
With no response, Seontae cautiously called out again,
“Okhee?”
“Yes, I am legally Kim Okhee, your wife. Not this woman, but I am Kim Okhee! From now on, I am Kim Okhee! Even after death, I am Kim Okhee!”
Okhee’s malicious voice echoed in the living room.
“First, calm down and let’s talk…!”
“You damn bastard, you look so pathetic. Shut your mouth first.”
Slyly smiling while confidently closing Seontae’s mouth, Okhee seemed to enjoy uttering these words after a long time.
Feeling self-disgust towards herself for believing in this trash as her husband and spending decades with him, Okhee, tying her hair with trembling fingertips, said to Hyesuk,
“You should be grateful to me. I picked up this trash for you.”
Hyesuk, breathing out a faint sigh, looked up at Okhee.
Without shedding tears, she stared at Okhee with dry eyes, and Okhee asked again,
“So, are you feeling good?”
She thought she would rather feel good, but it wasn’t, not really. She had let go of lingering emotions, and the outcome was as expected. She only thought, “It has become like this,” without sympathy. It wasn’t about sympathizing; considering what these two had done to her, it was nothing.
“It’s neither good nor bad. Still, I wanted to give you a small gift before you leave since you took away this trash. You know what kind of person this man is, so it’s not bad for you to know.”
Seontae, who had been watching Okhee’s expression, glared at Hyesuk with a contemptuous look.
“Wait, did you just call me trash? You, who seemed to like me so much…?”
“Who likes you?”
With a horrifying gaze, Hyesuk stared at Seontae and said,
“Just looking at your face, Min Seontae, made me shiver, and even the touch of your fingertips gave me goosebumps. Do you know how difficult it was for me to endure that?”
How much she wanted to say these words. It was as relieving as piercing through a hole.
“Ugh, this is driving me crazy. Why are you suddenly like this? Weren’t we good lately, or not?”
Annoyed by Seontae’s sudden change from trembling to loud talking, Hyesuk clenched both fists.
“Yeah, no. I’ve acted to show my true colors to your wife, and now I’m leaving with my daughter without any regrets.”
Seontae, who had just received a blow from Hyesuk, now had a vacant expression. Turning away from Seontae, Hyesuk spoke to Okhee,
“My job is done, so let’s not have a marital fight here. Can you leave my house now?”
Okhee, who had been silently observing, smirked.
“Yeah, you always act so nice and noble. Even when I took away your name and your daughter and gave her to mine, you did nothing but cry and be pathetic. That’s why you’re unfortunate.”
Okhee was furious as much as she was jealous. Why does this woman not get dirty no matter how much she pushes her into the mud? Even if she were like herself, causing a fuss, showing a disgraceful appearance, and doing wicked things, she couldn’t tarnish her.
She could not deceive her genteel upbringing, shedding only tears like a handful of flowers. Despite being able to pretend not to know enough, she deliberately incited the neighbors and tormented her.
“Lies and betrayal are like eating for me, and for you, it’s different. You know how to keep promises and don’t know how to do bad things. Right?”
What is she trying to say? When Hyesuk silently stared, Okhee spoke with reddened eyes.
“Before you leave my house, let me ask you one thing. Do you really not need the name Kim Okhee? Can I take it away completely?”
“I told you, take him with you, together with that man.”
Becoming Kim Okhee was something she disliked, but to reclaim that name, she committed too great a sin against her deceased father. How could she dare to take back that name?
The biggest reason was for her daughter. She didn’t want to complicate the well-lived life of her daughter under the name Mintaehui. How crucial issues were in a chaebol family.
With Hyesuk’s eyes and expression showing no lingering emotions, Okhee spoke with confidence.
“Keep that promise even if your life depends on it. Then, I’ll give you a small gift.”
With those words, Okhee no longer looked at Hyesuk.
“You follow me.”
Hyesuk wasn’t particularly quick-witted, but she could understand one thing. Okhee, whose deception had been completely overturned, wouldn’t easily forgive Seontae.
Taehui said she wanted to eat spicy rice cakes.
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.
