There was no need to be infatuated with Seo Jiwon. Just a few appropriate pictures to separate the two of them would suffice.
For Seorin, who had already experienced a breakup due to issues with Minhyung, even such a suspicion was enough to trigger her.
And such suspicions would create a subtle rift between the two.
That’s all it takes. Just that.
“Hey, let’s work together on something.”
“Work? What kind of work?”
“Try to seduce a man.”
Upon Minhyung’s slow-spoken words, Jiwon straightened up and reacted.
“What are you saying again? I’m sorry, but I’ll have to decline. My image is already in the gutter, and if a scandal breaks out, my agency will go crazy. They might even terminate my contract.”
“Who’s planning a scandal? We just need to do some work to create a few convincing photos.”
When Minhyung didn’t give up and tried to persuade Jiwon, her gaze, which had been directed at the end of her cigarette, finally showed interest.
“Seems like quite an urgent matter.”
Still, she had been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. Therefore, she was quick to catch on.
“But, you can’t go in empty-handed. What’s in it for me?”
“What do you want?”
“Hmm…”
Jiwon’s mind raced. She was pondering how to turn this into a golden opportunity.
Then, her crimson lips curled up with a brilliant idea that flashed through her mind.
“Hey, isn’t there the CEO of Taewon Entertainment among your close senior colleagues? He’s producing a massive drama this time, a real blockbuster. Can’t you help me get in there?”
Minhyung’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. Her proposal was far from his original plan, which involved spending a considerable amount of money.
“Are you out of your mind? You think they’d slot you into such a major production?”
“Oh, who’s talking about a lead role? I’d be happy with a supporting role as long as I get a chance! And me… if it weren’t for that drug case, I would’ve been the lead actress in that mega-hit drama back then! You know it! Casting was all set, and then the scandal broke out, and everything got reshuffled! Plus, I kept taking acting lessons with nothing else to do, so my acting skills are solid. There won’t be any harm to your reputation, Oppa!”
“Ha…”
“Since he’s a close senior, can’t you invest a bit and push me in? I don’t really need a major role. Just a consistent role from start to finish will do.”
As Ji Won spoke with a twinkle in her eye, Min Hyung’s head began to throb. But given that she had come up with this offer, he was left with no choice but to agree.
“Alright, I’ll give it a shot. But I can’t guarantee anything.”
“It’s okay. Anyway, once the casting is done, I’ll be working too. But who’s the partner for the project?”
Min Hyung finally took out a photo of Tae Joon. It was a precious photo he had recently managed to obtain from the internet. In the photo, Tae Joon was dressed in an elegant suit, holding a glass of wine.
Even though the image captured among the crowd was just a side view, it was enough to dispel Ji Won’s suspicions.
“Wow, amazing! Who is this person? A model?”
“It doesn’t matter who he is. All I need is a few convincing photos to arouse suspicion.”
“Promise me you won’t leak these photos to the press.”
“Of course. I’ll use them for personal purposes only. They will never get to the media.”
Listening to Min Hyung’s assurance, Ji Won shifted her gaze back to the image of Tae Joon in the photo.
“By the way, does this guy have a girlfriend?”
“Why? Is that a problem?”
With a teasing smile and a hint of amusement in her response, she raised the corner of her lips and opened her mouth.
In truth, with a man like him,
“No, it’s not a problem.”
Nothing was a problem at all.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
