Yuna was so stunned that she couldn’t respond. The man didn’t care and continued with what he wanted to say.
“I have a woman. Miss Jin Yuna, you just need to pretend to be a couple in front of the elders. Another man? You can meet as many as you want. That way, I can comfortably meet my woman.”
Yuna couldn’t understand the words pouring out of the man’s mouth.
A contractual marriage?
Although she had asked if she could order Taegyeong for a strategic marriage, she didn’t want such a pathetic person as the other party for a strategic marriage.
Yuna only wanted Han Taegyeong. Ha!
Moreover, with another woman around, how could she marry a pathetic man who not only made absurd comments beyond forgetting to respect her, but also suggested she meet other men as she pleased?
Yuna was simply disheartened. Therefore, not a single word came out of her mouth.
The words that filled her mind couldn’t escape her throat. While trying to soothe her stifled emotions by drinking Dalgona Latte, she accidentally dropped the cup; “Oops! It’s hot!” The coffee spilled onto Yuna’s white wool skirt, causing embarrassment and sadness to rush over her like a flood.
The man twisted his mouth into a smirk and commented, “You’re so troublesome. You’re not even my type, and since your father insisted, he could have introduced me to a younger and more attractive girl. Why should I meet someone like you, an ahjumma? Geez, being a presidential candidate must be something else.”
Tears welled up in Yuna’s eyes at the man’s muttering. It was unbearable, bubbling up from within.
Just then, a waiter brought the iced Americano the man ordered to the table.
Without thinking, Yuna sprayed the Americano onto the man’s face.
“I don’t like pathetic people like you. You’re as insignificant as a bean, yet you’re so cocky, relying on your father’s reputation. It’s ridiculous. What a waste of coffee. I’d rather pour kimchi water on you.”
The man was dumbfounded, unable to respond to Yuna’s words.
Holding her handbag, Yuna abruptly stood up and left the place without looking back. She went to the restroom.
In front of the sink, she vigorously tried to remove the coffee stain from her skirt. However, the dark stain didn’t completely come off.
For some reason, tears started to fall. Even the fact that her skirt was dirtied made her feel desolate.
She couldn’t understand why she had to go through such humiliation with a man like that.
Yuna sat down, cried aloud, and people passing by glanced at her. After crying for a while, she washed her face and fixed her makeup.
No matter how dismal and disheartening the situation was, she couldn’t collapse like this.
Summoning all her strength, she walked out again. The man she had the blind date with was already gone.
If he were still there, it would have been even stranger.
While walking home with heavy steps, Yuna couldn’t help but think of Doyeop. However, when she called him, Doyeop didn’t answer.
She fell into an even more dismal mood.
The place she wandered to, dragging her feet, was a cocktail bar, the one she had visited with Doyeop last time.
The inside of the bar was dark, and the stain on her skirt wasn’t visible.
At least that was fortunate. The bartender greeted her with a friendly smile, a symbol of good service.
“What would you like to order?”
“Give me something strong.”
“How about the Godfather? It’s a drink that the mafia bosses in mafia movies enjoy. It’s not sweet and quite strong.”
“I’ll have that.”
On a day like today, when no one could drink with her and no one could curse the man she had a blind date with, she felt lonely. Exhaling a long sigh, the white steam coming out of her mouth made her feel even more forlorn.
The bartender handed Yuna a pumpkin-colored cocktail. As she took a sip, the bitterness spread in her mouth, much like the bitter and poisonous taste of her current despondency.
Is this how life’s bitterness feels? Yuna stared at the cocktail absentmindedly, much like her desolate heart.
At that moment, a man sat next to Yuna.
“Here, one Peach Crush, please.”
“Yes.”
Yuna didn’t care who sat beside her; she kept her head bowed.
A pretty pink cocktail was placed in front of the man. He exchanged the cocktail Yuna had and the one he ordered.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Yuna was surprised, wide-eyed, staring at the man, her words stuck.
“If you drink such a strong one alone, what will happen? Instead of that, have this. It’s sweet and delicious.”
“Why is Choi Doyeop here?”
“You called him, didn’t you? I was about to call back, but I saw you entering here.”
“Ah…”
“Is Yuna drinking alone here? No drinking buddy?”
Though annoyed at the question, Yuna reluctantly agreed. But looking at Doyeop, she found a bit of relief.
Perhaps Doyeop would understand her. A small hope sprouted.
“If you don’t have a drinking buddy, should Choi Doyeop be your drinking companion?”
“Of course.”
Yuna smiled wryly at Doyeop’s words. Seeing Yuna, whom he missed, Doyeop’s appearance was secretly gratifying.
At the moment she needed his tenderness, he appeared like a prince coming to rescue her.
Doyeop gazed at Yuna affectionately. His eyes held a sweetness distinct from Taekyung’s and Koo Sungjoon’s.
Yuna kept her eyes fixed on Doyeop’s pupils, lifting the pink cocktail glass he offered to her lips.
The cocktail that flowed into Yuna’s mouth was refreshing and sweet, much like Doyeop’s gaze.
“It’s delicious.”
Doyeop smiled at Yuna’s words. Yuna couldn’t help but feel that Doyeop was becoming more greedy.
Due to the encounter with Koo Sungjoon today, her attention turned even more toward Doyeop.
Whether it’s Goo Sungjoon or Han Taekyung, if she marries a man who won’t give her a piece of his heart, she might as well find a man who sends affectionate glances.
Doyeop might be able to fill her heart.
“Doyeop, want to taste this drink?”
Doyeop nodded in response to Yuna’s words. Yuna took a sip of the cocktail and then pressed her lips to Doyeop’s. The lingering sweet cocktail on Yuna’s lips stimulated Doyeop’s tongue.
Provoking Doyeop, Yuna took the initiative.
With a teasing smile, Yuna pulled away from Doyeop’s lips and asked, “How is it? Is it good?”
Doyeop answered by once again matching his lips with Yuna’s.
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]

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
