“A man?”
[Yes. A man. It seemed like they were living together as if they were practically married.]“Tell me more about it.”
She had cast the line hoping to catch even a small fish, but unexpectedly, she hooked a big one.
Tapping the large cubic zirconia flashing at the tip of her nails, Baek Sa Ra brought her mobile phone closer to her ear.
It appeared the heavens hadn’t abandoned her yet.
She had always been annoyed by Min Seol Won, who acted so high and mighty despite having nothing. Finally, an opportunity had come to leave a big scratch on that pretentious demeanor.
Her conviction strengthened as she roughly heard the details from Baek Jae Young.
“Such a cunning girl. Hiding a lover on the island and trying to rip off Kwon Chae Ha as well. Even playing such an awkward act of pretending not to remember. Somehow, she didn’t seem like someone who couldn’t remember how she looked down on me.”
[What will you do?]
“What do you mean, what will I do? I should see this lover of hers myself.”
[Should I wait for you then? Can you give me So Jin’s number?]
“Don’t rush. Don’t you know that haste makes waste?”
With a grin playing on her fiery red lips, Baek Sa Ra straightened out the blanket she had been crumpling up till now.
It seemed like she would be able to stretch out and sleep well tonight.
Finally, the chess pieces that could be useful started to line up.
On the small inhabited island off the west coast.
Baek Sa Ra walked along the wharf, her heels clacking loudly among the fishermen busy with their nets.
A moment later, her steps paused in front of a boat labeled ‘Dae Sung Ho’.
Surprised by the sudden shadow, the young man who had been working on the boat looked up.
“Mr. Choi Jae Yoon?”
“……Who are you?”
As Baek Sa Ra gestured to the secretary standing behind her, he handed Jae Yoon a business card.
“The representative of Sa Ra Cosmetics?”
“Yes, I’m Baek Sa Ra. I have some business with you, so I’ve come to find you. Shall we go somewhere comfortable to talk? A café, perhaps. Oh, I guess there wouldn’t be one here.”
“……Let’s go to the shop my parents run. There shouldn’t be any customers now.”
Fortunately, Jae Yoon was a quickwitted man.
If such an unusual visitor had come all the way to this island, it couldn’t be for something ordinary.
Thanks to him, Baek Sa Ra didn’t have to bother beating around the bush.
Jae Yoon, leading the way, soon guided her to a quiet place without people.
It wasn’t to Baek Sa Ra’s taste, but it was an ideal place for a confidential conversation.
After sending her secretary away for a while, Baek Sa Ra leisurely took a sip of the coffee that he had offered.
While doing so, she didn’t forget to carefully size up Choi Jae Yoon in front of her.
“I’ll cut to the chase. I was originally about to get engaged with Mr. Kwon Chae Ha from Chaeun Group.”
“What? Engaged?”
“There’s no need to be so surprised. Honestly, the real surprise is that you, Mr. Choi Jae Yoon, have been living on this island with a woman named Min Seol Won for five years.”
“What…?”
Displeasure was unmistakably spreading across Jae Yoon’s face.
However, that was not enough to deter Baek Sa Ra from her provocation.
“I heard your parents also treated Min Seol Won as a family member. Then the reason is obvious, isn’t it? You and Min Seol Won had a special relationship…”
“Mind your language!”
The simmering discomfort exploded like a volcano.
A decent man, who seemed like he would never cross a line.
Even Baek Sa Ra, who initially thought of Choi Jae Yoon in such a manner, was somewhat taken aback.
He harshly put down his glass and contradicted her words.
“I don’t know where you heard such nonsense, but Miss Min Seol Won and I had no relation. If you’ve come this far, you should already know, right? The child… I mean, Woo Joo, is Mr. Kwon Chae Ha’s son.”
At the mention of Kwon Chae Ha’s son, the tips of Baek Sa Ra’s long nails nervously scraped the wooden table.
“So, it piqued my curiosity. What could possibly be the reason for you to take such great care of a woman who even bore another man’s child?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“Huh. Mr. Choi Jae Yoon. There’s no need to deny it. If it wasn’t love, then how could you?”
“…”
“Well, judging by your reaction, it seems that Miss Min Seol Won had different feelings for you.”
As if she found it a pity, Baek Sa Ra lightly licked her lips.
Then, slowly surveying the quiet surroundings, she changed the subject.
“This island doesn’t seem suitable for young people. Mr. Choi Jae Yoon, you are a talented individual from a prestigious university. Don’t you think it’s a waste to rot away here?”
“You seem to know a lot about me. What is your actual purpose?”
Baek Sa Ra responded with a leisurely smile.
The more her opponent showed signs of unease, the more she seemed to have the upper hand.
Even though she was the one who was most anxious, she was adept at hiding it.
Soon, she extended a white envelope she had brought along onto the table.
Upon this, the calm gaze of Jae Yoon reddened with a faint hint of anger.
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.
