“I’ve never bought something like this. It seems like the son-in-law is better than the daughter. It looks like I’m an unfilial daughter.”
I wanted to share a bright story, but tears that I had held back poured out the moment I saw the flowers.
Looking at Ji Han, I never experienced the overwhelming emotion that made my heart heavy.
During the five years I lived with Ji Han, creating a peaceful home was my only wish.
I wanted to have a child and live an ordinary life as a couple, but it wasn’t easy.
However, being with Jaeha made me feel like I was living the married life I had dreamed of.
I even thought that perhaps, instead of being a partner for revenge, he could truly become my husband, and we could be happy together.
So, I couldn’t get any closer to Jaeha.
I was afraid that if I showed my true feelings, I would be betrayed and hurt again.
So, I tried hard to hide my feelings and maintain boundaries.
However, Jaeha, whom I had observed, was different from others.
If everyone else looked for opportunities to tear me down, Jaeha seemed concerned about me getting hurt.
‘I didn’t want to admit it, but it seems like I rely a lot on Mr. Jaeha.’
After a year, I became dependent on Jaeha to the point where the thought of being alone scared me.
While our marriage is valid, he will do his best to keep the promise he just made to my parents.
So, I gathered my strength.
“We’re getting married next week. Chairman Seo Mujin will walk the Virgin Road with us.”
“…….”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be happy.”
‘I’ll truly be happy when all the revenge is over.’ I swallowed the words I couldn’t bring myself to say and wiped away my parents’ hands.
Serin headed to Ji Han’s residence early in the morning.
While driving, she received a call from news anchor Kim, whom she had met at the broadcasting station.
She was a close colleague from her anchoring days.
Serin recalled borrowing her phone when hers pretended to be out of battery.
She wondered if Kim had called her because of uploading Yeo Jin’s story on the company bulletin board under Kim’s account.
“Kim Anna. How have you been?”
[Dash] What [Dash] What? Have you been well? Did you deliberately try to make me drink water? Because of you, I can’t show my face at the broadcasting station now!‘As expected.’
As soon as Serin answered the call, the angry voice of her colleague pierced her ears through the speaker.
She furrowed her brow at the echoing voice in her ears.
Serin didn’t feel the slightest bit sorry for her. They were colleagues who had been friendly, nothing more.
“Why? Because of me? Kim Anna, I feel really unfairly accused without an accurate explanation of the situation.”
[Dash] Are you really psycho? On the day you visited me, you borrowed my phone and posted on the broadcasting station’s anonymous bulletin board using my account!Kim, the news anchor, yelled at Serin’s nonchalant voice.
Seeing her urgently confronting Serin, her voice seemed to be on the verge of losing control.
Desperation saturated her voice, and witnessing her unstable demeanor, it seemed as if she was on the verge of losing her composure.
Yeo Jin had heard the rumors that Serin had given a hard time to Kim, the news anchor, at the broadcasting station.
‘But what can I do? There’s no evidence that I did that. It’s ridiculous.’
Serin smirked, raising the corners of her mouth while driving.
Of course, hearing the news that Yeo Jin had clarified the rumors through this incident was bitter, but there was nothing she could do.
“When did I do that?”
[Dash] What? When? Are you denying it now? The time you posted coincided with the lunchtime when you borrowed my phone!“Ha, Kim Anna. I know you feel unjust and upset, but don’t pick a fight with a tough person.”
To avoid any potential trouble in the future, Serin replied casually.
Her audacious response seemed to provoke her even more, and the sound of her breathing through the speaker became rough.
“There’s no evidence that I did that, right?”
Leaving behind the last striking words, Serin smiled silently.
Anyway, she no longer had to work at the broadcasting station, so there was no need for a friendly relationship with her.
They were just colleagues, nothing more.
Serin remembered the past days when she had to play along with indifferent stories to gain their favor.
[Dash] I believed this lunatic was my friend!“Oh, Kim Anna! Our child is listening, could you please watch your language?”
Kim the news anchor seemed to choke on her forced laughter at Serin’s response.
“It’s not good for prenatal education. Why is an anchor speaking so rudely? Also, I’ve arrived at my brother’s house, so I’ll end it here.”
The car had parked in the parking lot without her noticing.
Although Serin was curious about what Kim would say, she felt there was no need to continue the conversation.
[Dash] Just a moment.Serin’s finger, which was about to press the end call button, hesitated when she heard Kim the news anchor’s voice.
Then, she nonchalantly pressed the button and ended the call.
Her finger, which had hesitated, immediately stood up again as if to reset her posture.
“Can you tell me quickly? I’m busy.”
[Dash] …Are you really getting married?As soon as Serin’s marriage story came up, her expression stiffened momentarily.
In response to Kim the news anchor’s question, delivered in a meaningful voice as if she had heard something, Serin’s expression darkened.
“Of course. Why are you asking something so obvious?”
[Dash] Yeo Jin unni seems so happy these days. I heard you’re getting married at L Hotel Royal Floor.“What?”
Serin was dumbfounded by her deliberately delivering Yeo Jin’s news.
Her face became dark, as if it would burst at any moment, with a boiling anger that felt like it would explode.
[Dash] They say CEO Seo Jaeha has liked you for a long time. So, I thought your marriage collapsed, and instead, Yeo Jin unni is getting married?Serin closed the car door with a loud thud after ending the call.
Even after hanging up, the mocking words of her colleague kept echoing in her mind.
Kim the news anchor’s words seemed to convey that the majority of the broadcasting station employees thought the same way.
Yeo Jin’s wedding is set.
The words Jaeha spoke about the wedding schedule during the hotel dinner have come true. In just a few days.
“Getting married in such a hurry? And at the hotel where I was planning to have my ceremony?”
She struggled so much to book that venue for her ceremony, and in the end, the wedding was postponed.
But now, Yeo Jin easily decides to get married, and it leaves a bitter taste.
“I’m annoyed!”
Serin choked up several times until she stepped out of the elevator.
Suppressing the impulse to scream, she hurried her steps toward Jaeha’s house.
Pressing the doorbell twice, there was no response. When there was still no answer after pounding the door with all her strength, she started to feel frustrated.
“I know everything that’s inside…!”
It was a relief to confirm that Jaeha didn’t have any special plans for the weekend.
She had come to make sure of the fact, pounding on the door loud enough for the neighbors to hear.
When there was still no response after knocking forcefully enough for everyone nearby to hear, the tightly closed door suddenly swung open.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
