“As always, showing your lack of education. Who told you to wander around outside as you please? Where did you learn such behavior!”
As soon as Yeoreum entered the living room, Jeongmi, seated in the main spot on the sofa, shouted at her.
Next to her were Sophia and Ha-eun, with Director Pyo and Hye-suk standing behind them as usual.
Especially Director Pyo looked smug, as if he had caught her red-handed.
“Did you call me just to say that?”
“How dare you look me in the eye and talk back when an adult is speaking? But then again, what else should I expect? You’ve only learned lowly behaviors.”
Jeongmi clucked her tongue and then instructed,
“Anyway, go to Hanseo Department Store right away.”
Yeoreum looked puzzled, prompting Jeongmi to snap back with more irritation.
“There’s a shoe shop called ‘Briewong’ in the luxury section. They called to say that my shoes, from the world’s top luxury brand, are ready for pickup. Go get them in my name.”
Jeongmi softened her voice.
“You’ve never been to a luxury shop in a department store, have you? So, pick up the shoes and enjoy looking around. It’s a special treat from me.”
“I have shoes to pick up there too. I placed an order,” Ha-eun said with a smug smile.
“Yeoreum, could you please get mine as well?”
Sophia added gracefully, sipping her tea.
“But Yeoreum, you do know my name, right?”
“Really, older sister, if she can’t even remember that, she’s a complete fool,” Ha-eun sneered.
Sophia smiled and said,
“Please do a good job.”
Yeoreum replied,
“Sure.”
Without saying anything else, she walked straight to the front door.
As the door closed, Ha-eun said in disbelief,
“What’s with her? I thought she’d immediately refuse and lash out at mom.”
“If she did, do you think I’d just let it slide? She’s not completely stupid; she knows who to bow down to.”
“Wow, mom is amazing,” Ha-eun praised.
Jeongmi’s shoulders lifted with pride. She then asked Sophia,
“You’ve informed Briewong, right?”
“Of course. They’ll take care of it.”
“Good. There’s no better place than there to teach a maid a lesson. They’ll make her understand her place.”
“Right, mom.”
They all laughed as they raised their teacups.
As Yeoreum was about to enter the main entrance of the department store, her phone rang.
Seeing a welcome name on the screen, she quickly answered.
“Hey! Mirae, Mirae, Mirae!”
―Yo! Yeoreum, Yeoreum, Yeoreum!
They laughed simultaneously.
“What’s up? Calling at this hour? Aren’t you busy?”
―Busy, yes. But I snuck out to the bathroom to check if you’re still alive.
“Were you worried I’d starve to death?”
―My friend suddenly became a Cinderella heiress. Are you eating properly?
“Don’t worry. I’m robustly devouring the rice of the old hag.”
Yeoreum laughed out loud, causing people entering the department store to glance at her.
―Even so, you shouldn’t call your grandma an old hag.
“She doesn’t treat me as her granddaughter. And because of that old hag, I’m suffering like this.”
―Suffering? What happened?
“I’m on an errand at the department store’s luxury section, picking up shoes for those three women.”
―Don’t they have lots of staff for that? Why are you doing it?
“Exactly, I’m Cinderella, right?”
―Are you really okay?
“I had a hearty breakfast. I’m full of energy.”
But Mirae sighed heavily.
Yeoreum spoke louder to reassure her.
“Don’t worry. I’m not dead yet. And I’m not going to die. Just watching those three women’s antics is too ridiculous. I’m keeping an eye on them.”
―They better not mess with our Yeoreum’s temper.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“Anyway, take care of yourself.”
“Sure. Have a good day too. Get back to work, you’re busy.”
―Okay. We’ll talk again later.
Regretfully, Mirae ended the call.
Yeoreum exhaled briefly and looked up at the imposing Hanseo Department Store standing before her.
“Nice building.”
This is where the luxury section is.
“Alright, let’s see what kind of tricks they’ve pulled.”
With determination, Yeoreum entered the department store.
Approaching two employees standing at the entrance, she asked,
“Where can I find the luxury section?”
A middle-aged woman and man, neatly dressed in uniforms, quickly scanned Yeoreum’s attire.
Yeoreum smiled at their gaze.
‘No need to look at me like that. My down jacket is also from a department store product. Granted, my mom bought it five years ago.’
The color might have faded, but department store products are good quality.
The down feathers were still perfectly fluffy.
And incredibly warm, too.
“What brings you here?”
The male employee cautiously inquired.
“I’ve come to pick up shoes at the Briewong store.”
“…Briewong?”
“Yes.”
Their glances exchanged even stranger looks.
“Which way should I go?”
“Ah, this way, please.”
He guided her to the elevator and pressed the button for the 7th floor for her.
“Get off on the 7th floor, and if you tell the staff there that you’re here for the Briewong store, they will guide you.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
