Usually, expressing anger by breaking expensive items inside the house would have been expected. However, it was different now.
Silence. Inside Baek Sara, a truly silent storm was raging.
Since hearing about the engagement, which was nothing short of a formal announcement, she had been sitting at the dressing table, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“…Asked. I asked.”
A mumbled, sullen voice flowed from her tongue.
Realizing the weight of past mistakes, she couldn’t bear her own self-loathing.
Having grasped the scoundrel named Baek Jae-young so tightly, why couldn’t she swing the sword properly against that scoundrel?
It was truly Baek Sara’s biggest mistake.
“Min Seol-won had our child with Chae-ha. What should I do about this situation?”
When Director Heo Young-joo first revealed Min Seol-won’s pregnancy by pushing a maternity notebook, Baek Sara felt like her blood was boiling in reverse.
Pregnancy. Something that should never have happened, but had happened.
Heo Young-joo expressed her anger with explosive rage, saying that even though a considerable sum was given, it was not enough.
How difficult it was to maintain a composed expression in front of her in the face of such anger.
With clenched fists, her long nails almost pierced her palm, causing blood to well up.
After firmly promising that she would handle it herself and sending Heo Young-joo away, Baek Sara quickly got to work.
The first step was to visit Min Seol-won’s mother, who had been hospitalized for a long time at Chae Un-ga’s hospital.
There was always someone in the middle, and there was no information that couldn’t be bought.
Thanks to this, Baek Sara easily found out that Min Seol-won’s mother often went for outdoor walks.
After selling her daughter to Chae Un-ga’s family, she had recovered her health quite a bit, seemingly enjoying it with favor.
It was evident that she was undoubtedly her mother.
Baek Sara, who had decided to pay the price, naturally approached her during her walking hours and casually provided interesting information.
“Do you know this, Ms. Kim Sun-hwa? Ms. Kwon Chae-ha was originally my family’s designated fiance. The marriage proposal was already in full swing.”
“What…?”
“In other words, the daughter of your family and Mr. Kwon Chae-ha had a relationship similar to an affair. More precisely, Ms. Min Seol-won took away my prospective husband. In a very dirty and inappropriate way. It’s embarrassing to explain exactly what way it was.”
“…!”
The effect was powerful.
Min Seol-won’s mother collapsed on the spot due to the shock.
It was half an adventure. Knowing that she was prone to immunodeficiency diseases due to stress, Baek Sara considered it a gamble.
But it was more than she expected.
Shaking the originally weak branch with a strong wind, it broke easily.
Of course, she didn’t forget to add a spoonful of lies, saying, “a dirty and inappropriate way.”
She, sprawled on the floor, clenched her chest as if in pain.
Baek Sara, lifting the corners of her mouth, watched for a moment as her weak trembling hand reached out towards her.
Then, she turned around promptly.
Now, all that remained was for Min Seol-won to take the bait.
Shouldn’t she pay the price for daring to be by Kwon Chae-ha’s side for three years?
So, Baek Sara chose the most malicious method: to give Min Seol-won hope and then plunge her into despair.
The reason for this was that Heo Young-joo, who didn’t know her child’s heart at all, was not aware of the fact.
Namely, that Kwon Chae-ha actually loved Min Seol-won.
No matter how composed she appeared, as someone who had secretly loved him for a long time, she couldn’t help but notice it.
What was reflected in Kwon Chae-ha’s eyes when he looked at Min Seol-won was purely love.
Moreover, the ‘result’ that she was pregnant supported that fact.
The thought of the woman having a child with a man whose touch she hadn’t experienced even once made her want to twist her neck immediately.
Therefore, despite the impending end of the marriage contract between the two, Baek Sara set up a trap.
If Min Seol-won were to leave simply due to the contract ending, Kwon Chae-ha would never give up.
‘I might as well kill her.’
Deciding that, instead of simply sending Min Seol-won away, Baek Sara chose to make her seem dead by staging an accident.
This way, she thought Kwon Chae-ha would forget the woman named Min Seol-won.
It was an obvious miscalculation.
Rather than forgetting his wife from a contractual relationship, Kwon Chae-ha chose to remain abstinent.
He didn’t allow any woman’s approach, and he didn’t even mention the name of his dead wife.
Everyone thought it was cold, but once again, only Baek Sara couldn’t understand his intention.
It was an incredibly persistent love.
If there was anything Baek Sara regretted over the past five years, it was not completely eliminating Min Seol-won.
Instead of pretending, she should have really cut off her breath.
“Fine. I will never make the same mistake again.”
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.
