Famous shopping center.
“If you wear a dress like this, you’ll stand out whether you like it or not.”
Those were the words Eun Ha had uttered as she left the house.
Of course, it would be better to wear a dress in battle, even if reluctantly. But there was no need to stick to this attire even in daily life.
It was uncomfortable enough as it was. There were no other clothes to go out in.
That’s why. That’s why she suddenly came shopping.
Eun Ha browsed through the busy shop windows, looking for appropriate clothes. Si Woo silently and expressionlessly followed her.
It seemed a long time since she had last shopped so leisurely with someone. Perhaps it was before her mother had passed away.
The shopping center that Si Woo had guided her to was an exclusive space for VIPs only. Thanks to that, she could look around to her heart’s content without worrying about people’s eyes.
“Shall we go back?”
Eun Ha, holding a single shopping bag, glanced back.
“Is it over already?”
“Yeah. One outfit is enough.”
All Eun Ha had bought was a pair of long jeans and a logofree striped shortsleeve Tshirt.
Suddenly, Si Woo’s blue eyes fell downward. It was toward the shoes Eun Ha was wearing.
“……How about looking for shoes since we’re out?”
“Shoes?”
Eun Ha stopped in her tracks and looked down at her shoes. Indeed, buying comfortable sneakers wouldn’t be a bad idea.
‘But…….’
After a moment of hesitation, Eun Ha fumbled with her sleeve.
Soon, what she pulled out was a penguinshaped coin wallet. It was a gift from Je Hwi. She opened the beak of the witheredlooking penguin and quickly snapped it shut again.
“It’s okay. I can buy them next time.”
Though Eun Ha had made quite a salty profit from two gate cleanings, most of the money was tied up in her account, and she didn’t have much cash on hand. She didn’t even have a check card or credit card. She couldn’t afford to splurge on shopping.
Si Woo, who had been staring at Eun Ha as she put away the penguin coin wallet, let out a soft chuckle and licked his lips.
“I’ll buy that much for you since it’s a rare shopping occasion.”
Swish. Eun Ha turned her head and stared at him.
“……No.”
Si Woo was already providing Eun Ha with more than the contract money. The latest model mobile phone, a topgrade officetel, and a capable manager who took care of not only schedule management but also house cleaning and waste separation. She didn’t have the conscience to ask for more.
Perhaps reading Eun Ha’s mind, Si Woo crossed his arms with a somewhat displeased face.
“Do you see me as someone who can’t afford a pair of shoes?”
“That’s not it, but.”
“Right?”
Si Woo grinned, the corner of his mouth curling.
“I’m quite wealthy. Don’t worry, I won’t charge you later, so just put the coins in your piggy bank.”
“…….”
Had he seen it?
The two fivehundredwon coins resting comfortably in the penguin’s mouth.
Considering the rampant modern prices, this money wouldn’t even buy a pair of socks, let alone shoes.
‘I have a lot of coins, though.’
There would probably still be 300,000 coins in her inventory, never having used them once.
“What can you do with 300,000 coins?”
Eun Ha, walking down the street, suddenly asked Si Woo. He was a hunter, and quite a highranked one at that. He would surely know the use and value of the coins.
“……You have 300,000 coins?”
Suddenly, Si Woo, who had been walking a few steps ahead, stopped in his tracks with a slightly surprised look.
Coins were currency received from a divine beast. Thus, having coins meant you were under contract with a divine beast.
“No, I’m just asking.”
Eun Ha snapped her fingers. Si Woo, who had been staring at her, soon averted his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, it’s hard to calculate coins as ordinary currency, but…….”
His blue eyes rolled around in the air. Thump, thump, he tapped his arm a few times with his forefinger and opened his mouth.
“Roughly about 300 billion?”
“……What?”
“Ah, of course in Korean won, not dollars.”
A yellow message window popped up in front of Eun Ha’s surprised face as she stopped in her tracks.
Ding!
[Shinsoo, ‘The Cat that Wanders the Darkness’ smiles contentedly. Behold, have you clearly seen my Lord’s wealth──.]Xiu’s face suddenly overlapped the yellow message window. His eyes were questioning.
“Who has 300,000 coins?”
“……I just saw it on the Internet.”
“Don’t believe that too much. Most of it will be bragging.”
The senior seemed addicted to the Internet in the first place. Xiu walked away, shaking his head vigorously.
That thing? That thing?! On one hand, perhaps dissatisfied with Xiu’s choice of words, the yellow message window raged in a corner of his sight.
“You must know that there are Shinsoos who have hundreds, even thousands of contractors.”
Just like many powerholders do, Shinsoos want more followers, Xiu added.
“Even if one contractor is particularly favored, you can’t pour all the abilities or coins into that person.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
