Meanwhile, a stranger entered the Oak House, deserted by its owner and the cohabitant.

Her name was Lee Yeonsil, aged 63.

A woman who took care of the household of Sean Alexis, a former U.S. ambassador to Korea, a long time ago, she was upright and diligent, and her cooking skills were topnotch in both Korean and Western cuisine.

She was the one who looked after Kwon Jae Ha’s household when he came to Korea 8 years ago.

Jae Ha sought her out again this time, and luckily found out that she lived near British Heritage.

[“Are you healthy? I prepared a lot of allowance for you.”] [“Ah what allowance, I can just come to cook for our Jae Ha. No, now I should call you CEO!”] [“Well, you don’t have to cook for me. Instead…….”]

The remuneration was several times more than before, an amount unheard of anywhere.

On the contrary, the job proposal was strange as it did not even reach a third of the previous tasks.

She needed to keep the refrigerator full by grocery shopping generously, and of course, cleaning and other house chores were needed.

However, she was absolutely not to touch the laundry.

All tasks were to be done quickly within two or three days during the weekdays, excluding weekends.

It was a strange request.

Beep.

[“Min Ah, did anything bad happen? Please answer me even once. I’m having a really hard time.”] Min Ah, who was slowly preparing to be discharged, stared blankly at her phone messages for a while.

Beep.

[“I really can’t do this. I can’t bear it.”] Are you more troubled than me? A frail human.

Min Ah threw her phone onto the bed.

And she carefully moved to hand over the patient gown she had taken off to the old lady who had been watching over her for several days.

It was quite manageable to change into comfortable training clothes.

It was a big help that she had not moved at all for the first two days.

“I’m almost done now. You can go, thank you for your hard work.”
The hesitating old lady got up when she heard that her sister would be arriving soon.

She was not even a caregiver but just someone with a slightly sore back

She received a lot of money for what she did, but it seemed like she was losing her energy.

“…….”
Mr. Lee Kyu Ho. Kyu Ho oppa.

He was someone she loved at one point. Now his name didn’t evoke any feelings.

If he found another girl and if I could also be happy, that would be nice.

“What kind of pathetic lingering feelings are these?”
Min Ah played with her phone.

Why was he still having lingering feelings when he couldn’t even keep one woman who he said was his everything?

Maybe if a little time passed, everything could naturally be solved.

But he kept tormenting himself.

He believed that not engaging with the other person was the way to help, and he just kept ignoring them.

[Why would you bring a girl with no roots?] [What do I care if her parents were criminals or died from a severe illness? Did you date that girl because you didn’t know how important genes are? And did you create this situation intending to marry her? What are we supposed to do with this situation?]

Kyu Ho’s parents let out a sigh of despair as if the sky had fallen.

On the contrary, Kyu Ho’s voice was not heard.

It would be nice if he could defend or argue something.

The common she is kind… something like that.

Min Ah, who was returning from the bathroom, heard the conversation between Kyu Ho’s parents and was disappointed in him, who said nothing.

Eventually, she didn’t bring up the fact that she was pregnant that she intended to mention that day.

.

.

The boss, Ma, held the steering wheel and seemed to be focusing solely on driving without showing any particular expression.

On the other hand, Min Ah, who had been looking at Eun Jo with deep suspicion since earlier, threw a question at Boss Ma.

“The car is very nice. This is quite an expensive car, isn’t it, Secretary Ma?”
Eun Jo wrinkled her brows slightly in embarrassment, but Boss Ma couldn’t possibly know her situation.

“As far as I know, it’s a highend car with a sleek appearance, so it’s quite popular among women. The large emblem on the front is really cool, isn’t it? And safety is, of course, paramount. This is my first time driving this model, but it feels sturdy yet performs very well.”
Min Ah looked at Eun Jo as she stroked the luxurious creamcolored Nappa leather seats with her hand.

“Sis, this is Nappa leather, which originally refers to the soft sheepskin produced in Napa, USA.”
“I know. Da On, is there anything you want to eat? Let’s eat something delicious, just the three of us.”
Eun Jo, who cut off Min Ah’s words, sent a firm gaze implying that she should shut up.

“Are you sleepy, our puppy?”
“……Yeah.”
Min Ah gently stroked the hair of Da On, who was dozing off next to her.

She didn’t know if all children were like this, but Da On tended to be very honest when she was sleepy.

“Did you enjoy sleeping with Mom? And eating lots of delicious food?”
“I really like Mom’s work home. But I don’t like the man.”

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Synopsis:

“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.

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. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…

Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
