The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
In the early evening, Tae Eun received a call from Woo Jin saying he would be finishing work a bit late. At the same time, Min Kyung Hoon and Ji Eun took turns calling her—and, as always, she ignored every one of those calls.
Yet the moment she sat down, it felt like sitting on a bed of thorns. They were not the kind of people she could avoid forever. She longed to simply let go, yet the single title of “family” bound them to her like shackles.
She placed her phone on the sofa table and turned away—when suddenly, the intercom rang.
Instinctively, Tae Eun checked the time. Seven in the evening. Could Woo Jin have already finished work, despite saying he’d be late? But then she instantly recalled that Woo Jin had never once pressed the lobby buzzer from the first floor.
Could it be—had Min Kyung Hoon and Ji Eun somehow discovered where she lived? Her hair stood on end in alarm. Approaching the intercom, she was so startled by the unexpected visitor that she staggered backward.
Fortunately, it was neither Min Kyung Hoon nor Ji Eun. Nor was it Woo Jin arriving home early. The figure clearly visible on the intercom screen was none other than Chairwoman Jung.
How on earth had Chairwoman Jung decided to come here? The thought that what was bound to happen had finally arrived made Tae Eun’s chest ache heavily.
After pressing the intercom to unlock the lobby door, she walked toward the entrance—not wanting to leave the elderly Chairwoman Jung waiting outside for long. Opening the door, she saw Chairwoman Jung just stepping out of the elevator. She appeared to have come entirely alone, without even her secretary.
“Were you asleep?”
“No, Grandmother. I wasn’t sleeping yet—it’s only seven.”
“I see. Then you’ll have some time to talk with me, won’t you?”
“Yes.”
Though the voice sounded gentle, as always, it carried an unmistakable, unrefusable authority. Tae Eun courteously guided Chairwoman Jung into the living room.
“Shall I make you at least a cup of tea?”
“No need. I came here today to talk with you, so don’t bother—just sit down.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
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. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
