Who would have known? On this day, the misfortune might strike here, but predicting that was too optimistic considering the weather was so pleasant.
Clang!
A sharp metallic sound echoed. Buried under the noisy atmosphere, most didn’t notice, but a few sensitive ones did. However, it was too brief of a moment to do anything.
The iron frame supporting the massive tent swayed as if tilting to the side, then fell lifelessly.
Those who witnessed the scene helplessly stared at the source of the dust, which was the origin, but mostly everyone looked puzzled.
The orange tent collapsed heavily. The figures of people arranged below the round tables and those guarding the tables vanished instantly under the tent.
After the silent stillness, someone’s scream echoed.
“Aaaah!”
In an instant, the venue turned into chaos.
The person who witnessed the tent collapsing right in front of them sat down in shock, and most were shouting in a frenzy as they searched for their families.

“Siu… Mr. Jung…”
In a scene that felt utterly unrealistic, Dajeong blinked with bewildered eyes. When she recalled the two people who were just under the tent, it felt like her whole body was freezing.
“Ahh! What should we do! Mom―!”
Sol’s scream pierced through her ears.
Due to the unfortunate accident, the extensively prepared event came to an abrupt and empty end.
After a commotion, most of the preschoolers and participants had almost all returned home. The injured were all transported to the hospital, and only kindergarten staff and facility company personnel remained to undergo the police investigation.
Although those invited to the event had left, Chairman Park alone watched the scene unfold while guarding the VIP seats.
Shortly afterward, Secretary Yoon approached Chairman Park and whispered a few words in his ear before stepping back. Chairman Park closed his eyes for a moment, then finally stood up from his seat.
“Which hospital is it?”
“Han River Hospital. Shall I arrange transportation?”
“Let’s go.”

When Chairman Park turned in the direction, Sunyoung grabbed her steps.
“Excuse me, Chairman… It’s a difficult situation, and it’s unfortunate that such an accident happened. I can’t lift my face in embarrassment.”
Just when Chairman Park attended an event for the first time, such an incident occurred, making Sunyoung feel incredibly awkward.
Chairman Park stared at Sunyoung’s face for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the collapsed tent. Only the carrot-colored tent sat collapsed in the middle of the solidly constructed tent, as if its legs were abruptly cut off. It was an unnatural and unmatched sight.
“Secretary Yoon, report immediately when the investigation results are out. Whether it’s an unfortunate accident or not.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Secretary Yoon saluted crisply. As Chairman Park’s tone seemed unusual, Sunyoung’s lips curled bitterly.
“Chairman… What are you saying? It’s not an accident? Then are you saying someone intentionally knocked down the tent?”
“We’ll know when we investigate.”
Leaving behind this ominous statement, Chairman Park turned away. In a moment, Sunyoung’s vision became dizzy, and clenching her forehead, she erupted in anger.

“Where’s Hyuna? Where is that kindergarten director? At a time like this, where is her attention focused?”
Han River Hospital.
Taking up one side of the emergency room waiting area with the group, Sol sobbed incessantly.
“Mom, are you really okay?”
“Oh dear. Did your mom die? Stop crying!”
Sukhui scolded with a bandage on her forehead. Sukhui had a small bruise on her forehead. Although the CT scan was done, there were no specific abnormalities beyond that.
“I thought my mom was in trouble, how surprised I was―!”
“Noisy! You’re making it more painful for yourself. By the way, is our puppy okay?”
Sukhui examined Siu, who was sitting on her knees, asking questions here and there. Compared to Sukhui, Siu was completely unharmed, but that wasn’t the question.
“Our puppy. Were you very surprised?”
“Uh…”

Siu only pursed his lips. After crying for a while, his eyelashes and the tip of his nose were reddened with tears.
Trapped within the iron frame weighing over 100 kg, the people inside were desperately shouting for help, and Siu, who saw the injured people in front of him, was in a state of considerable shock.
“Oh, thank goodness it’s only this much. I was so surprised, just like Sol. My heart is still pounding.”
Belatedly going to the chairman’s office and returning, Junho also felt like he was momentarily dreaming when the things that were originally there had completely disappeared.
“I’m relieved it’s just this much, but what about over there?”
Sukhui complained, sending a worried gaze into the distance.
Dajeong, who had been hovering around the emergency room, wiped her sweaty palms on her pants, and as she was biting her wet lips, she peered through the tightly closed door.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
