When she got out of the taxi, Lee Kyung was there, nervously pacing with her luggage.
Eun Seok must have told her in the meantime.
“What the hell is going on, Miss Seo Tae In? Why are you here? I’m really going crazy.”
“I’m not sure if you’re worried or angry.”
“You’d better change into this outfit, and it’s better to tie up your hair.”
In a small office next to the press conference room, Tae In changed into the clothes Lee Kyung provided and tied her hair up as suggested.
“Cheer up, Grandma and Jong Don said they’ll do well.”
Before leaving the office, Tae In called Nok Hyun. The phone was turned off and it was directly connected to the voice mailbox.
Tae In let out a long sigh and began to speak.
“I’m still not sure who I am. But Kang Nok Hyun, I think you don’t know me well either.”
Nok Hyun thought he should protect Tae In, but Tae In had different thoughts.
“I’m someone who definitely protects what is precious to me. That’s for sure.”
Tae In suppressed her swelling emotions and slowly articulated her words.
“If the previous Seo Tae In wasn’t like that, I will live that way for the remaining time.”
Tae In spoke as if making a vow.
In truth, she was afraid. That someone had tried to kill her, that she lost her memories, and that she might be targeted again.
With no certainty of who killed Tae In, and with her memory not fully restored, the burden and fear of facing the world pushed Tae In down.
“To me, you are someone precious.”
Nonetheless, Tae In decided to endure it, thinking about Nok Hyun.
“I will protect you like that.”
With her hands soaked in sweat, Tae In clenched her fist tightly and stood in front of the press conference venue.
The waiting Lee Kyung opened the door for her.
“Ms. Tae In, stay strong.”
Eun Seok, who had arrived without her noticing, offered words of encouragement or consolation to Tae In.
“Don’t lose heart!”
From Lee Kyung’s side, the support was definite.
Tae In walked into the open door.
Due to hurried preparations, the press conference venue was modest. There weren’t many reporters either.
But the atmosphere inside was different.
Beyond surprise, it was close to astonishment.
People were awestruck by the fact that a person who was supposed to be dead, especially the successor of Taegang, had come back alive.
Despite that, Tae In felt overwhelmed. Unable to open her eyes due to the flashing lights, she lowered her head.
Her fingertips were trembling, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
Although she anticipated the situation, and was certain she had experienced it before, Tae In felt nauseous and her vision turned yellow as if she was experiencing it for the first time.
Tae In took deep breaths in succession. Then, as if hinting to herself, she spoke.
I still don’t know what I was like in the past.
At this moment, I am Seo Tae In, stronger than anyone in the world.
I have people I need to protect.
I won’t ever be weak.
I’m not scared.
“Ms. Seo Tae In, is it you? Please lift your head!”
Tae In opened her eyes that had been tightly closed and lifted her head. She straightened her shoulders and stood tall.
The eyes that had been filled with fear now sparkled fiercely.
She was the perfect Seo Tae In that everyone knew.
“Yes, Reporter Song Young Sik from Hankook Ilbo. It’s been a while. Congratulations on your father’s promotion last month.”
Reporter Song Young Sik’s mouth fell open.
“Is this possible? A dead person has come back to life?”
At the murmuring sound, Tae In gave a slight smile.
“Reporter Han Young Ah from Segye Ilbo. Is this your return after two years? To be exact, I didn’t die. But I did almost die.”
Tae In gave a small smile, then her face grew serious.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t see the attacker’s face, so I don’t know the reason. I was unconscious for a long time, and an elderly couple took care of me. And when I woke up, I was already declared dead. I could have clarified the truth, but I was scared.”
The hastily prepared scenario wasn’t bad. At least, that’s what Tae In thought.
At the right moment, Tae In wiped her tears, and tried to smile as she continued.
“I foolishly chose to hide, using the aftermath of the accident as an excuse. I’m truly sorry to those who worried about me, but I was in a state where I couldn’t make the normal judgment at that time.”
Despite the sound of shutter clicks, typing, and murmuring, Tae In kept her cool and continued her calm explanation.
“Isn’t there anyone you suspect at all?”
“Yes, I’ll now proceed with a proper investigation, and I plan to share its progress.”
In sync with the typing speed of the reporters, Tae In opened her mouth again.
“My husband was unjustly detained on suspicion of murder. Isn’t that strange?”
Tae In’s words stirred the room.
How could there be a murder charge when there was no death? It was a contradiction.
“As you all can see, I’m alive and well.”
There were two exclusives. Nok Hyun was innocent, and Tae In, thought to be dead, was alive.
The hands of the reporters moved rapidly over their laptops.

Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
