A sarcastic smirk escaped from Dojun’s lips.
“Sure, go check.”
As the door closed with a thud, Dojun stared helplessly at the article displayed on his computer.
The article announced the launch of a fashion brand that could only be purchased quarterly from KK Fashion. Outwardly, it seemed so, but in reality, it was a brand created solely for Taeyeon.
“Hahaha.”
Laughter escaped involuntarily from Dojun’s mouth.
What to do with this brand now?
The owner of that brand was planning to leave me.
Leaving so boldly after leaving so many traces. It hurt even more because there was no trace of lingering feelings or remaining emotions.
Dojun, with a mocking smile, muttered to himself.
Dojun’s forehead deepened as his thoughts became more profound.

Taejin headed to the department store with the intention of shopping.
While humming a tune, thinking about what clothes to wear when he eventually called Taeyeon.
Taejin’s phone rang. It was a call from one of the people he usually spends time with at night.
“Hello?”
-Did you hear that story?
“What story?”
Taejin gave a vague answer while flipping through clothes on the hanger.
-KK Fashion has launched a new fashion brand.
“Oh, really?”
-But, well, that brand…

The person on the other end paused for a moment.
Taejin stopped flipping through the clothes, straightened his posture, and asked, “Why are you hesitating?”
-I heard they made it exclusively for KK Group’s daughter-in-law.
Taejin dropped the clothes he was holding.
“Oh, guest. Can I help you?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Taejin refused the helping hand from the department store employee and left the store.
“What are you talking about?”
-Did you see the article today? They say it will be sold to the general public quarterly, but the quantity won’t be much, and the price will be exorbitant. Rumor has it that even among the upper-class ladies, the news has spread. Do you not know anything?
A sardonic smile appeared on Taejin’s lips as he heard the story.

“Really?”
-Yeah. They say they will donate the proceeds from the sales of those clothes each quarter. Everyone is wondering how they can buy those clothes if they are really that good. Didn’t you know?
“Cut the call.”
Ending the call, Taejin rubbed his inner cheek with his tongue in disbelief.
He remembered what Dojun had warned him about, looking at me. Do not stimulate me like this when I want to create a fashion brand that only my wife can wear.
“Hah, and you make it a reality like this?”
Even if Cha Dojun was originally a guy who fell for Taeyeon without any plans.
Still, Haehoon, who was in charge of KK Fashion, did not know he would play such a game without my permission.
Taejin immediately called Haehoon.
“Did you create a fashion brand at KK Fashion?”

-The rumor is spreading fast. Yes, we did.
“Hey! Why didn’t you tell me about this beforehand?”
Taejin stood in the lobby of the department store and shouted, not caring who was looking. And yet, his anger did not subside.
“Is this insane? No, are you creating a brand for Jintae Yeon now? Hey!”
-Calm down. Why are you so excited and making a fuss?
“Would you calm down if you were in my place?”
Taejin roughly ran his hand through his hair.
He couldn’t understand Haehoon’s intentions at all.
When he had asked him to separate Dojun and Taeyeon without any reservation.
Now he’s making such a decision to create a brand for Taeyeon. What on earth does this decision mean?
“Did you really create it with your own hands? For that X?”

-To be precise, it’s launched because Chairman Cha pushed for it.
Taejin’s hand shook as he continued the call.
“When is the launch date?”
-Well, you wouldn’t want that brand to exist.
“Isn’t it obvious? Going to such lengths for a woman who will soon disappear?”
-Hahaha.
Unlike Taejin, who was shaking with anger, Haehoon seemed to find this situation quite enjoyable.
-Then, try using your influence a bit faster.
“What did you say?”
-The owner of that brand has to disappear for me to stop doing these foolish things.

Taejin finally understood.
As Dojun had mentioned, he was just one of the pieces in Haehoon’s rather mediocre game.
Taejin squeezed his eyes shut.
He could also painfully realize that no matter how hard he tried, Haehoon wouldn’t give him any opportunities, and he wouldn’t let Taeyeon and Dojun go according to Haehoon’s goal.
But Taejin, too, had no other option but to run toward the same goal as Haehoon, as he also wanted to eliminate Taeyeon by any means necessary.
How could Jintae Yeon have a fashion brand just for herself?
Thinking about it made his blood boil.
-Why? You called me boasting about having a good card, and I even attached Manager Park for you.
“Just wait.”
Taejin quickly ended the call and sent a message to Taeyeon.

He had to make Taeyeon leave Dojun’s side by any means necessary.
If Taeyeon didn’t read my message and didn’t respond, he was even considering barging into the company.
When he was thinking about it, his vibrating phone caught his attention.
[Sure, let’s do that. Let me know the place and time.]For some reason, Taeyeon accepted the meeting so readily.
A fierce smirk appeared on Taejin’s face.
“Today will be the last day we face each other.”
And then, Taejin quickly sent a message to Manager Park.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
