When she started her revenge, Chae Yoori was undoubtedly the target, but in the process, she somehow transformed into Chae Yulli. She found Chae Yulli, who stole her longtime lover, more unbearable than Yoori, who had everything.
Yoori, who couldn’t receive Minwoo’s love, should suffer alone. Yulli pretended to be noble, receiving the love of two men, Minwoo and Jeho. It was about weighing the two men and managing the fishery, so to speak.
Even the fact that Minwoo used her as a tool to release his desires infuriated her.
She wanted to spread her misery to Yulli. She wanted to inflict deep wounds. She wanted to make her shed tears, even if it meant making her cry a river. But it wouldn’t be fun to burst it right away. It’s only enjoyable when it bursts unexpectedly, like a time bomb exploding.
“Yuri, I won’t be here for your birthday, so I’ll give you a gift in advance.”
Dahee took out a jewelry box from her bag and handed it to Yuri. Inside the box was a brooch with small pearls embedded in it.
“Oh, it’s really beautiful.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
Sindahee looked at Yuri with a soft smile.
Although she stayed at Jeho’s house, Yuri commuted separately with about a 10-minute interval.
Because it was a secret relationship, they had to hide their relationship thoroughly at work. Even though it hadn’t been long since the cancellation of the strategic marriage ceremony, dating her ex-fiancé’s cousin was something that couldn’t be understood in Korean cultural norms.
Yuri and Jeho tried not to meet each other’s eyes even within the company and made an effort to keep their distance from each other. Their colleagues accepted that Yuri kept her distance because Jeho was a cousin of her former fiancé Minwoo.
Then, about a week later, Jeho informed them that he had a business trip to Jeju Island. He had to stay in Jeju for two days over the weekend to attend a seminar. He would leave on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday night. Yuri wanted to go with him, but to avoid any possible disruptions, she decided to stay in Seoul.
It seemed regrettable to spend the weekend apart, and Jeho approached Yuri and Sunyoung, who were going out for lunch.
“Miss Sunyoung, can I have lunch with you?”
“Of course. You’ll go directly to the airport after lunch, right?”
Jeho nodded lightly at Sunyoung’s question. Yuri secretly smiled at the thought that she could be with him for a while before he left for Jeju. Then, she remembered the lunch menu she picked with Sunyoung.
“But is it okay? We’re going to eat fire noodles or tteokbokki…”
Yuri looked at Jeho with a worried expression.
“Fire noodles or tteokbokki?”
He furrowed his brows as if he didn’t know what kind of food it was.
“I call it that because it’s so spicy that it feels like fire in your mouth. It’s either fire noodles or tteokbokki.”
Although he couldn’t eat spicy food, could he eat something called fire noodles or tteokbokki?
“Ah.”
Jeho’s expression stiffened for a moment. He usually couldn’t eat spicy food, and now she was saying it was so spicy that it felt like fire. But before leaving for Jeju Island, the desire to be with Yuri even for a short time outweighed everything.
“It’s okay.”
“Since the line might be long, I’ll walk ahead first.”
As Sunyoung walked ahead with a triumphant expression, Yuri approached Jeho stealthily.
“Are you sure it’s okay? It’s really, really spicy.”
“Well, there should be other menu options besides tteokbokki.”
“Warning, don’t take a single bite. It’s really, really spicy for Jeho.”
Yulli was right. The moment they entered the restaurant, the spicy smell was so strong that Jeho couldn’t help coughing. However, Jeho endured the coughing and stood next to the unmanned ordering machine, following Yulli and Sunyoung.
“Would you like to try assorted fried foods?”
In response to Sunyoung’s question, Jeho quickly nodded. It was becoming difficult for him to speak because he kept coughing. Sensing Jeho’s condition, Yulli browsed the menu with a worried look.
Usually, she would choose the highest level of spiciness, but today, she decided she should order a mild flavor for Jeho. Even if he didn’t eat it, he wouldn’t be able to endure the smell of spicy food.
“Sunyoung, can we go for a mild rose flavor today?”
“Huh? You always had it spicy or hot.”
“Well, I drank a lot yesterday. I think it’ll be uncomfortable if I eat something too spicy.”
“Really? Okay then. I’ll go to the table first since I’m going to place the order.”
As they sat at a table inside the restaurant, Jeho looked at Yulli with a puzzled expression.
“Did you drink a lot yesterday? I didn’t even notice.”
“Ah, that’s…”
Yulli delayed her response and smiled nonchalantly. She didn’t want Jeho to feel sorry for her because of her, knowing his personality, he would feel guilty if he found out she didn’t order something spicy just for him.
At that moment, a message notification sounded. Without much thought, Yulli looked at the screen of her phone, her expression slightly flustered.
“Excuse me, I’ll make a quick call home.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
