Even after many years had passed, the first meeting with Doha was an unforgettable memory for Sulin, something she could recall at any moment.
Hello? You’re Sulin.
Unlike Yunho, who had always been mischievous since childhood, Doha, who was of the same age, left a heavy impression, making Sulin cautious even though they were of similar age.
As the potential successor to the leadership of the Mibon Group, someone brought in by Yunho, who had been a rival since childhood, Sulin felt nervous at that time.
However, Sulin, who, unlike her usual outside, used the term ‘oppa’ only outside, felt Yunho’s subtle gaze but smiled brightly at Doha without caring.
Hello. Are you Yunho’s friend, oppa?
Answering calmly, Doha’s nonchalant response made Sulin think about various things.
Despite being the youngest, a capable figure chosen as the successor in the Gilmyeong Group. Sulin, at that time, was preoccupied with figuring out how to use the presence of Chadoha.
The reason Sulin thought that way was that most people she had met growing up had similar thoughts, and she guessed that Doha was also one of those kinds of people.
However, unlike herself, who had calculated gains and losses at their first meeting, Doha’s faint smile and words were unconventional.
I have a younger sister who is a few years younger than you. She’s cute. How about the four of us meet next time?
It was the beginning of an unforgettable first impression. The moment he mentioned his younger sister, the mature demeanor vanished, replaced by the excited older brother proud of his adorable sister.
Sulin couldn’t understand why it was so refreshingly shocking.
That was it.
The reason Chadoha entered Sulin’s eyes.
Ah… Yes.
It wasn’t a cliché love story of falling in love at first sight.
However, it was undeniable that she was captivated by his innocent and sincere smile.
Thank you. Let’s meet next time with my sister, Oppa Doha.
[I’m sorry, Miss. I can come to pick you up only after work.]“Ah, it’s okay. I can’t bother my working senior!”
Returning from the United States, Dohui, on a weekday, was talking to Haeyeon via video call at the bustling Incheon Airport, dragging her suitcase, the size of her body, to the taxi stand.
[It’s bothersome. Don’t say that, Miss.]Haeyeon, who pursed her lips, looked adorable.
What Haeyeon wanted to see was mutual with Dohui’s feelings.
Even though she had a family, Dohui was grateful for Haeyeon’s love and attention, so she warmly smiled until her eyes closed.
“Alright, senior. Next time, please come out to pick me up.”
[Sure, definitely.]Even emphasizing and making a promise, Haeyeon, as they spoke, made Dohui’s face glow with joy.
Between the unfamiliar life abroad and the long flight, the fatigue that had plagued her disappeared completely during the call with Haeyeon.
Throughout the plane journey, Dohui felt a bit melancholic. Once she arrived in Korea, she should go home, but she wasn’t particularly inclined to go to that house. Who would want to enter a house with no welcome sign?
“Well, then I’ll see you later, Senior Oppa.”
[Yes, Miss, be careful.]However, that feeling completely disappeared when Dohui made plans with the people she liked the most.
In her heart, she wanted to stay at Haeyeon’s house throughout her time in Korea, but it was never appropriate for the couple who always seemed like newlyweds, not even after ten or twenty years, or even when they became grandparents.
And she would always look at them happily by their side.
“Hehe.”
In reality, when Doha first mentioned getting married, she felt nothing but joy, but at the same time, a little anxiety slowly crept in. Since Yunho, the only person on her side in Nonin Daechidong, found his partner and left.
So she was afraid.
Even though Doha getting married naturally didn’t mean he would abandon her or become neglectful, emotions were hard to grasp even when she logically understood.
Hello, Miss Dohui. I’m Min Haeyeon.
Our young lady is a picky eater. It won’t do. I need to make her bad taste better.
Miss, have you eaten? Huh? You did? Then, snacks? Oh, snacks aren’t a meal. So you can eat more.
Dohui’s anxiety disappeared as if it had never existed. The person Doha brought as someone he loves became a new family member for Dohui, and Haeyeon always treated her warmly.
Doha was also an affectionate older brother to Dohui.
But even if he loved her as much as he said, he lacked the talent for expressing affection, a basic human skill he seemed to lack growing up in Daechidong.
A house where you only receive control without affection always felt stifling and made Dohui’s life dry and lonely.
Don’t stay alone. Come to our house anytime, Miss.
Sensitively recognizing Dohui’s deficiencies, Haeyeon took care of her like a real older sister.
The pure favor shown without reservation quickly drew Dohui into Haeyeon.
“Oh, I want to eat the kimbap that my new sister made.”

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…”

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…
