The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 10
The campus in May was packed with couples who had just begun their romances. The emotions quietly nurtured since the start of the new semester were finally bearing fruit.
Tae Eun and Jung Woo were one such couple. Now a sophomore, Tae Eun had caught Jung Woo’s eye after his military discharge, and after his fervent courtship, they had been dating for exactly one week.
Though they had only just started holding hands, watching her blush furiously, unsure where to cast her gaze, Jung Woo let out a hearty laugh.
“Our Tae Eun is quite shy, isn’t she?”
“It’s just… I’m not used to it yet…”
“Come on, it’s not even a kiss—just holding hands. All couples do this. You know that, right?”
Nodding at Jung Woo’s gentle, coaxing tone, Tae Eun looked around and saw indeed—every couple was holding hands or linking arms. Some had even gone a step further, walking with one practically embracing the other’s waist.
But Jung Woo was mistaken about one thing.
She wasn’t blushing out of shyness; her face flushed only because holding hands felt awkward and temporarily heated her up. She’d heard other friends had kissed on the very day they started dating—how on earth did they advance that quickly?
It wasn’t that she disliked Jung Woo. Majored in Business Administration, he was famously known as the “king” of the department—his refined manners made him wildly popular among female students, making him impossible to dislike.
So, in truth, when he first confessed, she’d felt slightly burdened and persistently turned him down.
But then her best friend, Hye Jin, had said: “It’s not like you’re getting married—just dating. Someone like Jung Woo seems perfectly fine, right? If it doesn’t work out, you can just break up later. Don’t overthink it. At our age, dating a few people helps develop your judgment in men and leads to a better marriage.” Defeated, Tae Eun surrendered to that dubious logic.
A week passed. So far, Jung Woo had been quite decent—unlike other guys, he didn’t rush; instead, he patiently waited at her pace.
Yet somehow, holding hands still felt uncomfortable. Thinking it was simply unfamiliarity, she resisted the urge to pull away and endured.
They finished lunch and had coffee. But soon, it was time for Tae Eun’s part-time shift, so they had to part ways. Though her father covered all her tuition, she needed money for her future—working part-time was essential. Her dream was to become independent with her grandmother, who lived in a nursing home, after graduation—and for that, she needed to save every penny.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
