He had finished his studies in the US last year, returned home, and joined the company. It was said that he was gradually making a name for himself. Although he was an illegitimate child, it was entirely possible that he could inherit the company.
With all of this in mind, it was uncertain when Cha Yu Hyun might lose his foothold. Moreover, he was fourteen years older than Yu Jin at the age of thirtyeight, and he was a divorced man with a son.
While scratching her head over this, Seo Jung suddenly thought of Yoon. For the first time, she was grateful for Yoon’s existence.
“Why are you so intent on becoming inlaws with Woo Sung Construction?”
“You, this company is one of the few with such financial power. That’s why they could easily afford that enormous political donation, isn’t it?”
Woo Sung Construction was a solid company that had secured a 600 billionwon seawater desalination plant contract in Saudi Arabia last year.
Ji Man thought that although Yu Hyun was a slightly unreliable successor, if he became his fatherinlaw, things might be different.
“So let’s send Yoon.”
In fact, Ji Man had another illegitimate daughter besides Yoon.
Not long ago, a girl appeared claiming to be Ji Man’s illegitimate daughter and threw a tantrum asking for a building in Cheongdamdong. She audaciously threatened to expose everything to the media if she did not get what she wanted.

In the end, she insisted on marrying into a chaebol family if she couldn’t get the building.
However, the child was ordinary looking. Whether she was his biological daughter or not wasn’t important. If her appearance was such, she was of no use anywhere. On top of that, she was a high school dropout. So, he managed to silence her.
Ji Man already had ties with a large law firm and a food company, but as Woo Sung Construction had recently been handling significant national projects and making some noise in the industry, he calculated that marrying into the company would provide substantial support for his political career.
Sending Yu Jin, who was notorious for her temperamental nature, would have been the best, but Seo Jung was opposed, and Yu Jin was also firmly refusing, saying she liked Kang Hyun, but not Yu Hyun.
She already had something from Chairman Cha, so she couldn’t possibly overturn the arranged marriage. She had no choice but to send Yoon.
Even though Yoon was an illegitimate child, Yu Hyun wasn’t exactly a good catch, so she figured Chairman Cha wouldn’t reject the offer.
“You handle it. But you must make sure this marriage takes place.”
“Understood.”
Satisfied with Ji Man’s answer, Seo Jung left the study with a pleased smile. Then, she recalled Yoon, whom she had met a few months ago.
“Get married.”

“I don’t want to.”
The child who couldn’t even look her in the eye when she was young had given a pretty defiant response. Well, it was understandable, given that she had shown up out of nowhere and told her to get married.
‘You little…’
If she couldn’t do it, she would make her do it. The corners of Seo Jung’s mouth lifted.
Kang Hyun sat in the office chair of JM Planning Agency, where he was the representative, and absentmindedly looked down at the street below. Maybe because it was a leisurely afternoon, cars were moving smoothly without any congestion.
The JM Building, which housed Kang Hyun’s planning and production companies, was acquired last year thanks to the success of the dramas he produced.
Kang Hyun, who debuted at 19 and immediately became a top star, established his own planning agency a few years later and even set up a production company three years ago.
With the increase in OTT platforms, the positions of production companies have skyrocketed, and the new paradigm was immediately noticed by Kang Hyun, who had an excellent business sense.
JM Production Company managed to score another hit drama in the first quarter of this year following last year’s success, and even went public on the KOSDAQ. He definitely had a knack for business rather than acting.
“A marriage…..”

His father, Chairman Cha Yoon Chang, was trying to get his brother, Yu Hyun, married again.
It seemed like the troublesome illegitimate child who had asked for a building and then, failing that, requested to be married into a chaebol family, as mentioned by Kyung Ho, the son of Congressman Seo Ji Man, whom he had met at a reunion a few months ago.
‘Such a woman for my brother….’
Kang Hyun couldn’t help but wonder if his father really intended to dethrone his brother, as the rumor had been floating around. Even if he was a divorced man, wasn’t he still the successor to Woo Sung Construction?
Yu Hyun had been married at 24 to the daughter of Yoo Rim Finance under the compulsion of Chairman Cha. Rumors were rife that she was a crazy woman, and after the marriage, she constantly tormented the frail Yu Hyun by shaking him up.

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.
