After the spread of Seo Rin’s insinuations, wherever I went, I heard stories about Seo Rin and me.
Starting with scandalous articles, rumors blew up uncontrollably, paralyzing the broadcasting station’s website.
Viewers protested, not wanting to watch the weather forecast broadcasted by the mistress.
Thanks to that, the anchor was hastily changed a few hours before the broadcast.
It was the moment when I was about to enter the scheduling office after finishing the closing news.
“When I heard the rings were the same, I got goosebumps. More than a drama.”
“Reality is always more dramatic. Weren’t the two pretty close?”
“Right. I think caster Chae deleted her account because her SNS comment section was in chaos.”
As soon as I opened the door, the noisy voices inside the office subsided.
Despite the late hour, there were several announcers remaining.
“So, who is right about the incident?”
“Rumors have it that the blame lies with him.”
They murmured, but I could hear the conversation clearly.
I felt various gazes on me as I walked through the office corridor.
People seemed to really believe Seo Rin’s absurd claim that I was to blame.
‘They believe such nonsense.’
I could easily refute it, but I decided to wait and see how Seo Rin would respond.
When I returned to my seat and started to organize the scattered documents, senior Young Joon asked carefully.
“Yoon, are you okay? I had no idea there was something going on between you and caster Chae…”
The senior, unaware of the details, gently asked me.
He had been watching me carefully until the live news broadcast ended.
“I’m fine, senior. I’ve known for a while that my fiancé was involved with her.”
Thanks to the sudden quiet around me, my voice echoed clearly.
I answered while looking at Seo Rin’s vacant seat.
“Senior, I’ve never done anything shameful.”
“I know. You wouldn’t risk your anchor position for something like that.”
I recalled what Seo Rin had said during the day at the sight of my senior answering without hesitation.
“Do you think anyone here is on my side?”
I knew people’s gazes on me hadn’t been kind since the incident of alienation in the company.
Although it wasn’t the majority, having even one person who understood me made me feel okay.
“Thank you.”
“What’s there to thank me for? Go home. See you tomorrow.”
He waved at me, as if it was nothing to be thanked for.
I was touched by my senior’s consideration.
“Yes. Everyone, take care.”
I could feel the wary eyes of the office staff still on me.
I hastened my steps out of the office, feeling suffocated.
.

.
Upon returning home, I threw my bag and coat onto the living room sofa.
Then, I chugged cold water from the refrigerator without a break.
Ever since the tension with Seo Rin, my stomach had been burning all day.
My thirst remained, but the plastic bottle was already empty. I put it down on the table.
‘Ah, I’m so thirsty…’
With the thirst creeping back, I approached the wine cellar.
“What, is this the only wine left?”
The bottle in my hand was the last one. I had been drinking it every night when I couldn’t sleep, had I already finished it all?
However, I felt like I needed to drink a beer to quench my thirst today. Just when I was about to leave the house, my phone rang.
“Hello.”
The person calling was Jae Ha.
Are you home?
“Are you asking if I’m home right after calling? That’s strange.”
I laughed, taken aback by Jae Ha’s abrupt question about whether I was home.
I left the house to go to the convenience store while talking to Jae Ha.
Whether Yeo Jin is at home or not is most important to me.
I tilted my head, not understanding why this was important to Jae Ha.
When I didn’t answer while trying to guess his thoughts, Jae Ha threw another question.
I heard there was a very terrible incident today. The person who published the scandal article about the two, it was you, Yeo Jin, right?
“Hmm, indeed. Is it that obvious?”
It would be strange if I didn’t know.
Indeed, Jae Ha, who knew about my situation, would have immediately realized who did it.
“Actually, today I revealed at work that Chae Seo Rin and Seo Ji Han were in an intimate relationship.”
…….
“You know, when you asked about the ring. That ring, I deliberately left it in the bathroom that Seo Rin’s colleague entered. I wanted to make things difficult.”
Ah, that time.
Only then did Jae Ha seem to remember the previous time I had mentioned not having a ring in front of my house.
Back then, he had asked for my wedding ring with Ji Han, but I couldn’t give it to him. Because I didn’t have it.
“I thought Chae Seo Rin would run away, but instead, she said there was a cause for blame on me. That I had an inappropriate relationship with Seo Jae Ha first, and that’s why I comforted Ji Han.”
What a ridiculous woman. Doesn’t she know what ‘inappropriate’ means?
Jae Ha burst into an empty laugh as if dumbfounded, listening to my continued story.
It was a clumsy and foolish way, just like Chae Seo Rin.
“It must have been a hastily thoughtout idea when cornered. It’s sloppy.”
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…?
