Eunseo put down the cup she hadn’t taken a sip of and opened the door. After that, Seongtae’s mock protest, which had been silent, flew like a blade.
“Why?! What’s wrong with our Seongtae?! Eunseo, you’re not thinking that. What’s there to see in an adopted orphan? Our Seongtae is sturdy!”
A solid, thick piece of wood that came up from the floor. Eunseo barely pushed it in, as if she were stabbing her throat to prevent herself from spitting out a sob.
The district office was quiet.
The employee at the window suggested that it might be good to get some family relationship documents in advance since they couldn’t issue them right after the death report.
Although it was a regrettable situation of a few hundred won, it was more than enough to pay for the illusion that her grandmother was still alive.
A strange relationship of being officially a mother on paper while being a grandmother in reality.
“Here it is.”
Eunseo carefully read the documents handed to her by the employee, and then her black pupils passed over the large letters and entered the frame of the form.
What is this?
Eunseo closed her eyes, ran her fingers through her hair, and opened her eyes again. It seems not eating properly for a few days finally revealed an empty truth.
Eunseo pressed her eyes, wiped away tears, and meticulously examined the documents from the beginning.
However…
Eunseo’s crescent-like eyes were greatly magnified on the paper. She staggered back in waves, and even her steps went empty. The ground sank several meters below, making her mind distant.
Spouse? What is this? Spouse!
Then, a dry voice struck Eunseo’s head.
[You… You, already… got married…]It can’t be true. There’s no way her grandmother’s words are true. There’s no way.
What on earth happened?
“I had a husband. When exactly!”
Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
Thump, thump, thump, thump. Loud music filled the flashy party hall. Young men and women dancing between multiple tables. Noisy glasses clinking everywhere.
People dressed in stylish outfits were busy moving around, either looking for acquaintances or building connections.
Starting from early evening, the party was a birthday celebration for Seoun Construction’s eldest son.
Although the party, filled with young entrepreneurs, celebrities, and influencers of the same age, was crowded, the most attention-grabbing table was elsewhere.
The center of the table, surrounded by quite a few people, was undoubtedly Kwon Taeha, the GK Group’s heir and the president of GK Hotel. The party marked the occasion of his birthday.
Although it was a lively party, Taeha managed to raise GK Shopping from the industry’s third position to second place within two years and took over as the hotel’s manager.
Anything he said, like ‘Sure,’ ‘Later,’ were just a few words, but when he raised his glass, others followed suit, and when he laughed, others laughed along.
For the applauding crowd, he didn’t particularly enjoy such gatherings where secret gossip, such as the hidden hobbies of the Yu Gang Group, circulated. Still, he didn’t avoid them, as there were people who occasionally leaked information beneficial to business.
“But why does Chairman Kwon reject every offer that comes your way? Is it you or him?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’ve been fooled too?”
At someone’s remark, the face of the underestimated Cheongnyeo’s daughter turned red.
“Even after being fooled, do you still want to be here? Aren’t you embarrassed? Do you like that much?”
“By the way, Taeha, why did Chairman Kwon really reject every offer? Is it only you or Chairman?”
“Well…”
“You got rejected just like Taejin, the top player in the industry. To put it bluntly, his sister is even more humiliated. But Taeha, why did you really reject it? Where else can you find conditions as good as hers?”
Taeha, with a faint smile, was about to take a sip of his drink when a man in a black coat approached from behind and whispered discreetly. He was Taeha’s bodyguard and executive driver.
“A guest has arrived.”
“A guest?”
“The nurse seems to have seen you coming to my house and informed me. She said if I don’t see the CEO today, she’ll call the police. It’s something important that must be discussed today. I brought her in for now to avoid causing a commotion in the vicinity. I’m sorry.”
As Taeha turned his gaze, a woman inside the opaque glass wall revealed herself hesitantly.
Black thick padding, a cheap-looking scarf wrapped around to the point of being tacky. No old eco-bag or makeup kit hanging on her shoulders, just an anxious finger brushing aside roughly done bangs.
The scent of poverty and unhappiness emanated from her entire body. The only thing covering that scent was her eyes.
Like a cornered mouse, she would do anything soon.
“Who is Kwon Taeha…?”
“Kwon Taeha, why are you looking for him?”
The group looked at Taeha, who didn’t bother revealing his identity.
“I have something to discuss.”
“You can tell me. It seems like she doesn’t even know Kwon Taeha’s face.”
“I want to talk to that person directly.”
Now, the attention of the audience shifted to the woman. ‘Ordinary’ was an understatement for her shabby attire, not fitting for a party.
Coming to find Kwon Taeha in such an appearance, curiosity-filled eyes thoroughly examined the woman.
“Speak. I fulfilled the conditions, didn’t I?”
“Are you… Kwon Taeha, by any chance?”
The woman’s hands, tightly gripping the eco-bag, stiffened to the point of being pale. Taeha, who was not stupid, nodded approvingly while tilting his head.
“Were we acquaintances? Or is she someone I should know?”
“I was just wondering… Excuse me, but I have something to say.”
“Say it.”
“Not here.”
“Here. As you can see, there are others, and we’re in the middle of an important conversation. Besides, not revealing one’s identity is a precaution for someone unknown.”
Taeha deliberately glanced at the group. The people at the table were barely holding back laughter.
“I’m Song Eunseo. Is it okay now?”
The woman stood up straight.
Huh, she even came to the party and interrupted the upcoming business discussion. It’s absurd.
I might lose it.
With a wry smile, Taeha stood up from his seat.
Black shoes pressed firmly against the floor, and then his agile long legs gracefully left the table.
A man in a neatly combed black suit with a pomaded hair.
He must be nearly 190 cm tall.
Eunseo, who had never seen such an atmosphere before, felt overwhelmed by an imposing presence, and her feet froze as if turned into wood. The facial features of his shaded face were neatly defined with no disheveled parts.
The sharp eyes and chilling gaze could freeze a person. The lips were refreshing and cool, but the attitude was relaxed. The straight nose rose without roughness, emitting a strong scent of a man, along with a sleek and distinct jawline.
“Your stubbornness is truly strong. Heard that often, right? But what to do? I hurt my ankle, so it’s a bit difficult to go far now.”
Taeha lifted his slacks, revealing the left ankle wrapped in a white bandage. It was an injury that occurred not long ago while skiing, trying to avoid a slipping person.
It was a minor injury, but it was not light enough to leave his seat and listen to the woman’s words.
The woman’s identity could possibly be a job seeker who failed to get into GK.
“Well, whatever you say, don’t resent me. Since you won’t go, I’ll speak here. I haven’t seen you before.”
A perplexed expression crossed Taeha’s face. The woman’s expression was quite earnest.
“I don’t know how to say this, but it’s about you.”
Eunseo bit her lower lip, then sighed before bursting out the rest.
“He seems like my husband.”
The loud music abruptly stopped.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
