Eun Soo stifled the sobs that were about to burst out with her hand.
Her marriage to her husband was strategic.
It was a marriage that aligned with the needs of her husband, who required the facade of a respectable marriage, and Eun Soo, who needed a means to escape from the clutches of her unscrupulous father.
But for Eun Soo, it was sincere.
Although her father had pushed her into it, Eun Soo’s marriage to Moon Hyuk Joo was one of true love.
Eun Soo was utterly surprised when she met Hyuk Joo at a meeting three years ago.
Because he was someone she knew. However, Hyuk Joo seemed completely unaware of who she was.
Perhaps it was only natural.
At that time, Hyuk Joo was completely drunk.
Eun Soo was really happy to meet him again. But Hyuk Joo said he had a woman he loved.
“That’s fine. I just need to get married.”
Eun Soo stupidly liked the look in Hyuk Joo’s eyes, which seemed to be intrigued by her accepting everything with an indifferent tone.
Because she thought she had attracted his attention, even a little.
“I want to take my mom to a good hospital.”
That was the only condition Eun Soo proposed for their marriage.
Her mother had collapsed after witnessing her father’s infidelity a long time ago.
Her mother, who was lying unconscious with an oxygen mask, had slim chances of recovery. But Eun Soo couldn’t give up on her mother.
Fortunately, Hyuk Joo took all these circumstances into consideration.
As soon as the wedding date was set, Hyuk Joo immediately moved Eun Soo’s mother, who had been staying in an old ward, to a VIP room.
That’s when it started.
Her life being mortgaged to a loveless marriage.
Eun Soo had no complaints. Rather, she was happy to become Hyuk Joo’s wife in this way.
Because she loved him.
She didn’t care when people pitied her behind her back.
She hypnotized herself, asking what was so pitiful about living as the wife of the man she loved.
But the moment her husband’s longmissed woman returned, Eun Soo’s life suddenly became pitiful.
“I just want to help that woman. I have no thoughts of divorce.”
Chewing over her husband’s words, Eun Soo let out a hollow laugh.
Perhaps her husband had already said those words to that woman.
The one who needed help, who needed sympathy, was not that woman, but Eun Soo herself.
Eun Soo forced out a dry laugh.
What a pitiful marriage.
But Eun Soo could not let go of this marriage.
Because of her mother’s medical expenses, and because of her love for Hyuk Joo.
“Haah…..”
Eun Soo let out a long sigh and got up from the end of the bathtub, standing in front of the sink.
She turned the faucet all the way to the right to let the cold water flow.
Washing her face with cold water seemed to cool down her heated body a bit. She rubbed her face to erase the traces of tears.
She looked at herself in the mirror as she wiped the water off her face.
Her face, with its redness faded, looked perfectly fine unless closely inspected to see if she had cried.
She thought this was okay.
“Huff.”
With a deep breath, Eun Soo came out of the bathroom. As she entered the bedroom, she saw Hyuk Joo sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard.
He seemed to be finishing up work, holding a tablet in one hand and focusing on the screen.
His appearance was so handsome it was annoying, almost causing the tears she had painstakingly swallowed to burst forth.
Sensing her presence, Hyuk Joo lifted his head.
Surprised, Eun Soo asked with a forced calm face.
“Aren’t you sleeping?”
“I can’t sleep.”
A faint smile seemed to shine on Hyuk Joo’s face.
Was he happy because he had been granted permission for his relationship with that woman?
Her husband’s gaze was surprisingly sharp even close to midnight. It seemed as if he was thrilled thinking about that woman, and it hurt Eun Soo’s heart.
How much effort had she put in over the past two years…
But with the appearance of that woman, all her effort turned into bubbles.
For a moment, she was angry.
She remembered her husband’s words, saying he wouldn’t divorce her while loving that woman.
Eun Soo went to the side of the bed and looked at Hyuk Joo. And as if she were a villain making her last desperate struggle, she forced out her words.
“We cannot have a child.”
The words Eun Soo threw seemed to have quite an effect, as Hyuk Joo furrowed his brows, looking like someone who had lost his words for a moment.
“I can’t be so generous as to raise another woman’s child.”
“Now…..”
“So, we absolutely can’t have a child.”
“Are you in your right mind?”
With a dumbfounded face, Hyuk Joo furrowed his brows deeply. Then, he got up from the bed and left the room.
Eun Soo, left alone in the bedroom, clenched and then opened her eyes.
She didn’t think she would be able to sleep in this state.
Eun Soo walked to the dressing room and prepared to go out. She had to escape to her mother’s hospital room, the only place where Eun Soo could breathe.
She pressed the phone keypad hard and wrote a message.
After sending the message to Hyuk Joo, informing him of her overnight stay, Eun Soo went down to the first floor.
Her motherinlaw, who was sitting on the living room sofa reading a book, was surprised to see Eun Soo and asked,
“Where are you going?”
“To mother’s hospital.”
“At this hour?”
Taking off her reading glasses, her motherinlaw frowned as if she was displeased.
Eun Soo gripped the handle of her bag tightly and spoke slowly.
“…I haven’t been able to visit this week, so I felt worried.”
“You could go tomorrow during the day.”
“What’s the rush?” Muttering to herself, her motherinlaw clicked her tongue. She looked blankly at Eun Soo standing there and spoke again.
“It’s not right to call and send people around at this time of night. Especially in this cold weather.”
Eun Soo instinctively realized that she shouldn’t be stubborn here.
“I’m sorry. I’ll go tomorrow during the day.”
“Good.”
Eun Soo went back upstairs. She felt like a prisoner who was caught while trying to escape from jail.
Sighing, Eun Soo opened the bedroom door.
“…Hyuk Joo?”
As soon as she opened the door, Hyuk Joo was standing right there.
His eyes also widened for a moment, as if he was surprised to see her.
It seemed he was about to go somewhere, as he was also dressed to go out.
Ah.
Eun Soo sighed inwardly.
She thought she knew where he was planning to go late at night.
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.]
