My heart was churning. I quickly shook my head before the gloom could spread, and answered with a grin.
“There’s nothing like that. I still want to work harder.”
Jiho clicked his tongue and scolded me.
“Ugh, you child.”
“I’m not.”
I embraced Jiho’s shoulder.
“Congratulations on your marriage.”
Jiho then hugged me back and said,
“You know I cherish you like a younger sibling, right?”
What younger sibling? Even though I’m older. I glanced at Jiho and burst into laughter.
(This is a time divider.)
Our wedding, which would have been over in an hour or two, was in stark contrast to the marriage ceremony, a grand event that lasted all day.
Unable to stick by Jiho’s side all day, I looked around the place. There were mostly family members, but some unfamiliar faces were present as well.
‘So many guests are coming even though it’s my wedding.’
A lot of young women were seen. It seemed more like Jiho’s personal connections rather than them coming to stamp their faces on Jegalsega’s event.
‘Well, Jiho is cheerful after all.’
It was Jiho who became friends with me in no time.
As I was peoplewatching, and looking around for food that Baekho would like, Jegalmin, my older brother, called me.
“Yeona, come here. There’s someone I want to introduce to you.”
“Yes?”
Walking towards Jegalmin, I widened my eyes as I saw the woman standing next to him.
‘Wow, she’s beautiful.’
A pure beauty with long black hair like ebony smiled softly and looked at me. Jegalmin introduced me first.
“This is my younger sister, Jegal Yeona.”
Jegalmin was the head of Jegalsega’s family. A direct line of the family. But why was he introducing me as Jegal Yeona? It was because, about two years after I came to Jegalsega, Grandfather Jegalyun suggested it.
[Dash]Jinbeop is a secret technique of the family. If you’re not a family member, you cannot learn it. [Dash]Eh? But I’ve learned it. [Dash]So, what I’m saying is……. How about becoming my granddaughter this time? [Dash]Whaat?This grandfather was so careless, secretly teaching me a secret martial art that could only be learned by direct family members. And then he said, if you’re not a direct line, just make it a direct line, and had me adopted by the head of the family.
‘It was all Grandfather’s design.’
It was an offer I was very grateful for. I was worried whether I should even accept such help.
‘How do I repay this favor?’
And not just Grandfather, the other people of Jegalsega also readily accepted me, so I really felt like I had gained a family.
I bowed lightly to the beautiful woman Jegalmin introduced.
“I’m Jegal Yeona.”
Then she showed a bright smile like a blooming peony and replied.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Namgung Rye.”
But the moment I heard that name, I stiffened.
“……Yes?”
My clear surprise startled not only Jegalmin but also Namgung Rye, whose eyes widened in shock. Namgung Rye tilted her head and asked, her beautiful hair spilling, creating an
But the eldest son stood staring into the distance as if possessed by a ghost. Danmokbi called out to him again.
“Chang!”
Danmok Chang had an instinctive fear of Danmokbi. Whenever Danmokbi called his name angrily, he would come running like a dog in surprise, but today he couldn’t come to his senses at all.
‘Who on earth is he looking at like that?’
Danmokbi narrowed his eyes and turned his head, grumbling. Then he saw a woman with a bright face smiling like a sunflower, and his eyes widened in surprise.
‘That child?’
Though she had grown taller and her face had become more beautiful, he recognized her at a glance. Danmokbi urgently asked the man who was guiding him.
“Who is that young lady conversing with the guest over there?”
“Ah, she is your second daughter, Lady Yeona.”
“Yeona.”
A coincidence. Even the name was the same. Danmokbi, who was rolling the name around in his mouth several times, cautiously asked.
“I thought the head of the household only had one daughter, but it seems there’s an older daughter as well.”
“No, there is only one biological daughter. Lady Yeona was adopted a few years ago.”
“Adopted.”
The more he heard, the more everything fell into place. Danmokbi twisted his lips.
‘I had tried to chase and kill her back then, but I couldn’t find a trace.’
She had changed her name and hidden in Jegalsega.
‘Leaving her alone has turned out to be a windfall.’
Danmokbi whispered to Danmok Chang.
“What do you think? Is it her?”
“Yes. It’s Yeona.”
Hehe, it was clear that the heavens hadn’t abandoned him yet. Danmokbi clapped his hands, delighted.
“Ha, I scolded her for being a child who didn’t know her place and drove her away back then, but to think she became Jegalsega’s daughter. She was really no ordinary child.”
Danmok Chang, not knowing why his father was happy, looked confused. Danmokbi, getting close to his bewildered son, put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, the smell of alcohol wafting.
“This is an opportunity, Chang.”
“Yes?”
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…
