“Second test?”
Seo Yeon’s long-suppressed emotions violently shook in the distance.
“Yes. According to Su Hee, she has been studying so much she can’t even sleep three hours these days.”
Just hearing his recent status made her feel as if she had been swept away by a gigantic wave.
“I’m not sure if he would like the event with celebrities coming, since he only knows how to study.”
Seo Yeon wanted to hear more about him from what Hyun Woo was sharing.
“He’s been working hard, so I thought he could use a change of pace.”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Besides, Yool is not unfamiliar with Director Han.”
They couldn’t possibly be strangers.
The relationship only they knew about that Hyun Woo was unaware of.
Seo Yeon barely mustered a smile.
“Director Kwon Yool seems quite special to you.”
“You know how some people act charmingly without any pretense? That’s how our Yool is. So genuine and simple.”
Seo Yeon internally questioned, ‘Is that so?’ but found herself responding, ‘I guess so.’
Then she found herself missing his genuine simplicity.
“Decision? Are you prepared…?”
Her sharp reason harshly brought out the brutal reality.
Her breath suddenly caught.
After looking forward to hearing his news, she hesitated on what was truly important.
No matter how she thought about it, she found her timid self laughable.
“Feel free to let me know if you need anything more.”
Seo Yeon struggled to keep her emotions in check, appearing as if nothing was wrong.
“Thank you. Shall we wrap up for today?”
Hyun Woo was, as ever, a considerate man.
Taking Seo Yeon’s condition into account, he quickly tidied up.
On her way home, Seo Yeon looked out the window with an awkward expression.
“Don’t be awkward anymore.”
She scolded herself, wondering how long she would continue like this.
She couldn’t keep standing hesitantly in the middle or cowardly choose to give up.
She had to decide whether to go or stay.
Then the area around her eyebrows fiercely throbbed.
“Ah, why is this so difficult…”
Seo Yeon arrived home, resenting her disarrayed emotions.
As she went to search for headache medicine, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.
“Who is it?”
It was the apartment security officer who had come at this late hour.
Wondering what it was, Seo Yeon quickly opened the door.
He offered a small shopping bag, a polite smile on his face.
“I apologize for the late hour. I have been collecting this since you were not home.”
“What is this?”
“The mailbox was full. This is what has been gathered until today. Have a good rest.”
Seo Yeon’s eyes widened dramatically as she took the shopping bag.
As the front door shut with a ‘thud,’ her heart also plummeted.
She froze in place, as if besieged.
Her eyes fixed intently inside the shopping bag.
Various mail and dozens of envelopes in different colors.
Anyone could see they were letters.
The only person who would write letters like this was Kwon Yool.
As if an invisible hand had decided that today was the day, not only did Hyun Woo not mention his name, but she received letters whose timing of delivery she didn’t even know.
Holding the shopping bag, Seo Yeon opened and closed it repeatedly, like a malfunctioning robot.
Today must be the day, she thought.
A mysterious feeling pressed her relentlessly to make a decision today.
She hesitated only for a moment.
Seo Yeon sat on the sofa with the shopping bag.
Then, she carefully selected his letters.
When she counted, there were precisely 20 letters.
Seo Yeon randomly opened an envelope.
The very last page of the heartfelt letter that began with ‘Miss Seo Yeon’ had the number ‘5’ written on it.
So there’s a sequence.
Her hands quickened then.
She found the letter marked with the number ‘1’ and lined them up in order.
She read and reread letters number 1 to 20 without making a move.
When she saw his neat handwriting, Seo Yeon couldn’t help but trace the characters with her finger.
After reading the last page, she covered her face with the letters.
She took a deep breath and felt his faint traces.
“Yool…”
The moment she uttered the name that had been floating in her mind, a tidal wave of longing washed over her.
For the two weeks she had been apart from him, she had put off all decisions, no, she had been desperate to escape.
Because she simply couldn’t muster the courage to face reality.
But it seemed he was different.
Just an hour ago, she had heard that he was studying so hard he could hardly sleep three hours…
Even in those hard times, he was making an effort.
Unbeknownst to her, like this.
Seo Yeon read through the undated letters in sequence, tracing his emotions.
In the beginning were sincere apologies and brutally honest feelings.
Towards the middle were longing and tender emotions.
Towards the end, he wrote dispassionately about his daily life, then stated that his world had come to a complete stop.
Seo Yeon followed his emotional path until she reached a dead end.
All the detours and ways to go back were blocked.
The only option left was to go to him.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
