-If someone asks who your dad is, say you don’t know. Got it? Just say you don’t know anything!
Even at the age of six, she understood. The fact that she had been abandoned.
Helplessly crying as she watched Jieun’s fading figure, there was nothing else she could do. That’s how Taeeun was sent to an orphanage. She couldn’t speak for a while due to the mental shock. After a month, her maternal grandmother came to find her. Grandmother raged at her father, and Jieun, who was by her side, shamelessly presented the excuse that she had lost her.
So, the grandmother, having lost her daughter and taking pity on her granddaughter, became Taeeun’s guardian, putting aside the grief of losing a child. However, the time spent with her grandmother was the happiest time for Taeeun. Despite the modest living conditions, she never lost her smile even once.
However, around the time she graduated from middle school, she was suddenly sent to her father’s house. The gaze of her stepmother, Jeong Ji-eun, remained icy, and the gaze of her father, whom she hadn’t seen in over a decade, also resembled Jeong Ji-eun. Her stepbrother, Ji-hoon, didn’t even treat her like a person.
She missed her grandmother and, in a way, felt resentful. Why did they send me back to this hell? Am I being abandoned once again? However, such feelings silently crumbled when she visited her old home, wanting to see her grandmother after school, and her grandmother, who didn’t recognize her.
-Who are you?
-Grandmother. It’s me, me. Tae-eun!
-Who?
It was dementia. The moment she realized that she had dementia, afraid that she would be a lifelong burden to her young granddaughter, her grandmother cut ties with her.
She couldn’t fathom her grandmother’s feelings when she was sent away. It was much more painful than the feeling of falling into hell. And now, she realized that it was time for her to protect her grandmother. So, Tae-eun kneeled before Ji-eun.
-Send grandmother to a nursing home. Then… I’ll listen well from now on. I’ll do whatever you say.
-Do everything I say?
-Yes. Whatever it is, I’ll do everything you say.
-Is that so? Then… live as if you were dead. Pretend you can’t hear even if you hear, pretend you can’t see even if you see, like that!
That was the beginning. From that moment on, she didn’t speak, no matter what she heard or saw, she kept her mouth shut. She learned the art of silence because silence was the only way to survive.
But at that time, there was still hope for her. After graduating from high school and going to college, Tae-eun dreamed of perfect independence. However, the world was not so accommodating. By the time she graduated, her grandmother’s dementia had worsened, and she couldn’t avoid her father’s help due to severe lung disease.
Nothing went as she wished.
And now, even the marriage she had to choose for a lifetime, with her precious grandmother as the goal, was being arranged by them.
Yeah. If it was for her grandmother’s remaining life, what’s a marriage like this? If she made up her mind, there was nothing she couldn’t do about the marriage.
However, the problem was that it wasn’t that easy. A few months ago, when she visited the hospital due to irregular menstruation, she heard shocking news.
-It’s endometriosis. The situation is not good. We can try treatment, but the outcome may not be favorable.
-What does that mean?
-Well, it means having a baby will be difficult.
She was diagnosed with infertility.
Why was her life so difficult?
Would a prestigious family like Jangwon Group accept a daughter-in-law who received a diagnosis of infertility? It was an impossible story from the beginning.
Therefore, when faced with the possibility of not meeting their expectations and causing disappointment, the fear of retaliation was daunting. Especially Jeong Ji-eun, who was almost a professional at tormenting and tearing her apart, using her intelligence.
“Oh, look at this. She refuses to answer until the end. How much money did I spend to place you there? Honestly, did you think you could hide your history from Seo Woo-jin? This is all thanks to me, my efforts! Except for your face and body, there’s nothing worth looking at in you… really, it’s mind-boggling!”
With eyes filled with deep-seated resentment, Ji-eun scanned Tae-eun from top to bottom, provoking her with a sneer. What should she do?
No, maybe she never had a choice from the beginning.
The moment she took her grandmother as leverage,
“I’ll go. Tomorrow.”
She had no choice but to become their servant.
Tae-eun arrived at the entrance of the Cheongdam-dong restaurant with nervousness, but she couldn’t enter willingly. Her hesitant steps were awkward.
In any case, the result would be obvious if she went in. Nevertheless, she had come here, hoping that she could still negotiate with her father, using the excuse that she had made an effort.
She stood there like that for about 20 minutes. Even then, she only stared at her worn-out shoes.
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.]
