If Chief Prosecutor is Joon Line Prosecutor, then due to the allergy reaction, Juhyuk went in instead. The Chief Prosecutor tightly shut his mouth and endured.
Yet, he frequently asked what Geum Moran had said. Both sides couldn’t trust each other, just like Geum Moran’s side.
It was a game of who would backstab first, and those waiting for an opportunity.
Meanwhile, the Chief Prosecutor’s phone was legally seized as evidence.
The number presumed to be Geum Moran’s turned out to be Geum Moran’s burner phone number. The evidence from the Chief Prosecutor became the decisive blow in this trial.
Finally, the trial set the date for the decision hearing.
Just before the decision, with the addition of a murder charge against Geum Moran, she found herself in a situation where she couldn’t avoid detention.
Facing the decision, Geum Moran kept requesting to see Prosecutor Joon Line. Line, who had been busy writing the closing argument, firmly refused.
Then, suddenly, after a long time, a hope arose. It was a thought that perhaps as a person, she might be reflecting.
Geum Moran, with her high-profile defense team, confronted Line, surpassing all the defense attorneys.
Seeing Geum Moran’s expression, Line regretted harboring unnecessary expectations. Without showing any sign of reflection, Geum Moran stared at Line with cold, piercing eyes.
“Stop here.”
Geum Moran said what Line wanted to say. Without any response, Line listened to Geum Moran’s story.
“If you corner a rat too much, it opens its mouth to let the cat in. This is your last warning. You won’t die alone.”
“How much I’ll prosecute, I thought about it on the way here.”
“Is the prosecutor’s prosecution that important? The judge will decide the sentence.”
“If she sincerely confesses her crime now and offers a proper apology to the parties involved, I don’t plan to prosecute the maximum sentence permitted by law. However, if she continues to deny the charges, I will prosecute the maximum sentence allowed by law.”
Her sincere confession, Line’s earnest wish, was also for her to repent for her wrongdoing.
“Oh, are you giving me a chance? How wonderful it would be if the world went as the prosecutor wishes~.”
“If it’s not a world that goes as I wish, shouldn’t I exert my will? Can I not do it?”
Feeling surrounded by anxiety, Geum Moran tried to lift the corners of her mouth, pretending to be unaffected.
Having realized that talking would be a waste of time, Line stood up. Please, just… Even now, if she could repent for her mistakes and apologize to the parties involved.
Back in the office, Line sat in front of the closing argument and contemplated for a long time. The burden felt by the prosecutor facing the sentencing was indescribably heavy.
“Line, are you done with everything?”
Line sat there blankly without answering. Juhyuk came behind Line and stood there. Line had two closing arguments in front of her, as Geum Moran had said. Juhyuk nodded after looking at the sentences.
One was life imprisonment, and the other was 18 years in prison.
Life imprisonment, commonly known as a severe punishment, was not the case. An 18-year sentence, even if Geum Moran repented to minimize it, was an unavoidable sentence due to the numerous crimes committed.
Until the bright morning of the decision day, Line contemplated the sentence. Juhyuk also fully understood why Line was conflicted.
As time passed, Line took out her judicial robe, put it on, and looked at herself in the mirror. Today, the weight of the judicial robe felt unusually heavy.
On the morning of the decision day, the atmosphere in Taesung was tense. Chairman Na, whose health had deteriorated, ultimately couldn’t attend the decision due to her resolve.
Song Kang headed to the courtroom with the staff.
In front of the court, already many reporters had gathered, befitting the name of the trial of the century.
The atmosphere inside the courtroom was heavier than usual. Defendants sat in one or two seats. Geum Moran’s face still appeared composed. Even the faces of the defense attorneys showed no tension.
Song Kang quietly sat in the courtroom with the staff. Ha-in, who had been sitting in the attorney’s seat, exchanged a glance with Song Kang.
Inside the courtroom, even with a considerable number of people, it was so silent that one had to be cautious about breathing.
At that moment, the door opened, and two prosecutors entered. Line walked toward the prosecutor’s seat with a calm expression filled with determination.
In Song Kang’s eyes, Line shone brighter than ever. It wasn’t because she was a prosecutor, and it wasn’t because she wore a judicial robe.
The professionalism, sense of responsibility, and attitude toward this case that she possessed were like a diamond shining with an unwavering brilliance.
The judicial panel took their places in the courtroom. The expression on the faces of the judicial panel was also grave.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
