Yeon-woo, who had spent a sweet birthday with Jun-hwi, met with friends for another birthday party.
“Wow, Yeon-woo. What’s with this dazzling bag? Haven’t seen it before? Did your boyfriend buy it for you?”
As soon as Kyung-a arrived at the cafe, she scanned the bag placed next to Yeon-woo.
The bag, just big enough to fit a book, had a sparkling golden chain strap with a cute round gold ball hanging from it. Confidently displayed on the black leather was the brand logo, boasting, “I’m a luxury item,” and it sparkled brightly.
“Wow, this is amazing. Is this the limited edition that caused such a frenzy?”
“It sure is. How did you manage to get it when they said it’s sold out?”
Even the belated Ji-hye joined in and praised Yeon-woo’s bag as soon as she arrived.
“Did you receive it as a birthday present?”
“Yeah, something like that.”
“Whether it is or isn’t, what kind of vague answer is that?”
The reason she couldn’t help but hesitate was that she still wasn’t sure if she could accept such an expensive item.
Yeon-woo flatly refused the bag at first, but when faced with his ultimatum that he would throw it away if she didn’t want it, she reluctantly accepted.
Even though she agreed to carry it after his insistence on checking if she carried it every day, Yeon-woo still found it inconvenient to carry the bag around.
“I’m so jealous, Kim Yeon-woo. Your boyfriend is truly impressive.”
“What are you talking about? It’s not like that. I find it wasteful.”
“You’re talking nonsense. With something like this, you should update it on SNS right away!”
Hold your tongue, friend. Because of her constant nagging about why he doesn’t brag, he barely managed to calm her by saying, ‘This kind of boasting is what Yoon Ji-woo would do.’
“If it’s to that extent, it’s love. The effort to obtain a sold-out new item is more touching than the amount.”
“True. Kim Yeon-woo, just go ahead and declare your lawyer boyfriend. File for marriage.”
The last words uttered by Ji-hye embarrassed Yeon-woo. An overwhelming force, like a large needle, spread through her.
‘If you’re okay, shall we get married?’
His simple and sincere voice that kept lingering in her mind became vivid once again. Yeon-woo rolled her eyes.
“Oh, right. Kyung-a, are you preparing for the wedding? You’re the first among us to go.”
They quickly shifted the topic to Kyung-a’s upcoming wedding, which was not far away. Fortunately, Kyung-a seemed eager to talk about the wedding.
“The weekends have completely disappeared. These days, I’m choosing a dress at the wedding venue.”
“What about the dress you picked before?”
“That one was for the wedding album photoshoot. Huh. I don’t even know how many times I’ve done that. Try on a dress, then come and get adjusted next time.”
In the face of the complicated system they knew nothing about, Yeon-woo and Ji-hye became silent.
“But still, there’s a honeymoon, right? Endure while thinking about that.”
“Yeah. Usually, before the wedding, weekends are extremely busy.”
“Ah, the honeymoon. You have to compare the estimates for that. And in the meantime, you have to diet, take care of your skin, visit furniture stores, and get interior design estimates. We also fight whenever there’s a chance.”
What used to be a world of marriage that she thought only concerned others has now sparked tremendous interest in Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo leaned towards Kyung-a.
“You fight? But your husband is so gentle and affectionate. What is there to fight about?”
“We fight over trivial things all the time. Like arranging two desks in an ‘L’ shape in the study. I don’t like it. Let’s put the TV in the bedroom. I don’t want to. Choosing the home appliance brand as Ju Sung Electronics. It starts from things like that.”
“Wow. That sounds really exhausting.”
“It’s also tied to money issues. There are subtle battles between my in-laws’ house and our house. It’s no joke being stuck in the middle and consuming energy.”
Hmm. While listening to her friend’s words, Yeon-woo subtly applied them to herself.
Home appliances would definitely be Ju Sung Electronics. As for money issues, well, there’s already an overwhelming difference, so conflicts arising from money are not applicable to them.
Battles between in-laws’ house and our house? Could there be a ‘fight’ between Ju Sung Group and our mom and dad?
It became even more confusing.
“The more I hear, the harder it seems. Hang in there, Kyung-a.”
“But well, everyone goes through such things, so you still have to get married.”
What? Everyone goes through that?
A strong tremor passed through Yeon-woo’s eyes for a moment.
Not someone else, but she had to clash with Jun-hwi in every trivial thing.
She recalled his chilling coldness that came over her every time they fought. How depressing and frustrating it was during the Cold War. How many times did they have to go through that for a successful marriage?
Does it end after marriage? Isn’t the opposition worse?
Before she could make up her mind to get married, an inexplicable anxiety arose. Yeon-woo bit her lip.
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…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
