Su Yeon couldn’t open her tightly closed eyes, no matter how hard she tried.
A splitting headache accompanied by vertigo indescribable by any words engulfed her.
It was a symptom she had never experienced before.
It was so terrible that she would rather die than experience it again.
However, after about 5 seconds?
That indescribable, dreadful symptom disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Su Yeon slowly lifted her eyelids.
As she did, she let out a sharp intake of breath.
“!”
Everything filling her vision was strange.
She was clearly in the department store bathroom with Su Jin, but now all she could see were very familiar objects.
So, this place…
“Why am I…?”
It was the bedroom of her newlywed home with In Ho.
“Why am I suddenly here…?”
Confused by the incomprehensible situation, she tilted her head, sensing something strange.
She couldn’t feel the hair that should sway with her movement.
And then she noticed her voice.
“No way…!”
Su Yeon quickly got up and went to the mirror on the dressing table.
“Oh my God. Why again!”
The face reflected in the mirror was none other than In Ho’s.
Su Yeon stared at the mirror with a blank face.
Wrinkles formed rapidly above her brows.
Last time, her body had changed when she woke up, but she had no idea why it was happening today.
Today, weren’t they both doing their own things in different spaces?
Why had their bodies switched again all of a sudden?
“Wait. So that means In Ho is in my body right now, with Su Jin… Oh, I’m going crazy, really.”
Su Yeon tightly closed her eyes in a daze, then quickly started searching for her phone.
In Ho would have hers by now, so she needed to find In Ho’s phone.
“Where is it? Where, where….”
After mumbling to herself like a madwoman for a while, she saw In Ho’s phone on the coffee table in the living room.
Without hesitation, Su Yeon picked up the phone and started dialing her number.
She was just about to press the call icon.
Suddenly, In Ho’s phone started vibrating.
Checking the name on the screen, Su Yeon quickly answered the phone.
“It’s me.”
Yes, honey.
The voice coming through the phone was unusually cheerful.
Su Yeon was taken aback for a moment and froze, but soon she came to her senses and focused on the voice on the other side of the phone.
((())) ((())) ((()))
Su Yeon ran until her breath filled her throat.
This was a hotel lobby, and she knew that running like this was an uncouth act, but she didn’t have the luxury to consider such things.
“I was shopping with mom at the department store when I ran into my family. So, we’re going to a restaurant near the hotel. If you’re free, can you come too?”
The tone was so coquettish that it was hard to believe it was In Ho speaking.
And he had called her ‘honey’.
In all their years of marriage, Su Yeon had never heard nor used this term of endearment.
Given that In Ho had used the term himself, it seemed he had not been particularly fond of pretending to be ‘Mr. In Ho’.
While he had asked if she could come, she didn’t really have a choice.
It was that kind of gathering.
Su Jin and Hye Kyung were both there.
And In Ho didn’t fully understand how he was treated in that house.
She didn’t want In Ho to know too much.
Just being outed as an adoptee felt like she had exposed everything.
Su Yeon didn’t want to sink any lower than she was now.
Call it a shred of pride if you will.
She wanted to protect it no matter what.
At least this much dignity, definitely.
“Welcome. Do you have a reservation?”
As soon as she entered the restaurant, a neatly dressed manager approached and asked.
Su Yeon hesitated for a moment.
She knew that her family, including In Ho, were here, but they probably hadn’t made a reservation.
‘So whose name should I give? Should I say TK Group or Tae Shin Group?’
Even trivial things started to complicate her mind.
Just as she was still hesitating with a puzzled face…
A familiar voice came from behind her.
“Are you here?”
Su Yeon quickly turned her head towards the sound.
In Ho, who had switched bodies with her, seemed to have just come back from the bathroom, shaking off his wet hands.
“Did you run here? You could have come slowly.”
“Anything… anything happen?”
Su Yeon asked, gasping for breath as if it had filled her up to the chin. In response, In Ho tilted his head, making a face as if he couldn’t understand.
“What happened?”
“So, …”
She wanted to ask if he had received any strange treatment from Su Jin or Hye Kyeong.
But she couldn’t get the words out.
If nothing had happened, it would be like revealing the secret she had carefully hidden with a meaningless word.
Su Yeon deeply inhaled while looking at In Ho with anxious eyes.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, In Ho looked the same as usual.
Only then did she feel relief, awkwardly shaking her head.
“No. Where is everyone?”
“In the inner room. Ah, I’ll go with you. You don’t have to follow.”
In Ho, in his usual manner, treated the staff and walked ahead.
Su Yeon silently followed behind In Ho.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
