The body buried in the blanket moved slightly. Se-kyung, who woke up from a nap, groggily felt around.
Finding her phone and turning it on, she checked the time. 11 AM. Se-kyung stretched lazily like a drowsy cat and got out of bed.
“I slept well.”
She looked exhausted from consecutively shooting magazine ads for two days. Se-kyung rubbed her stiff neck and left the room.
“What should I eat?”
After washing her face with cold water, Se-kyung went into the kitchen. She rummaged through the refrigerator, finding tangerine juice, sweet red bean bread, and honey rice cakes. She neatly cut them on a plate, carrying it to the living room with a tray.
Playing a classical playlist for prenatal education, Se-kyung picked out books from the bookshelf. It was a fairy tale book, an essay collection, and parenting books she bought at the bookstore last time.
“This one should be read by Dad.”
Se-kyung raised her hand on her belly as if communicating with the baby. In response, her belly seemed to wriggle as if acknowledging the statement.
Hmm, is this fetal movement?

Se-kyung tilted her head with a doubtful expression. Then, she opened the fairy tale book with a sunflower on the cover first.
The fairy tale book had beautiful illustrations, and the content wasn’t too long, making it a quick read. After flipping the last page, Se-kyung took a bite of the small piece of bread and picked up the parenting book.
Perhaps she had been concentrating on the book for about an hour.
The classical music flowing from Se-kyung’s phone suddenly vibrated for a long time. Checking the displayed name on the screen, she answered the call on speakerphone.
“Oh, Yuna.”
Where are you?
“Me? I’m at home. I don’t have any schedule today.”
What could have happened? Yuna’s voice from the other end sounded unusual.
Se-kyung, who had spread the books on the sofa, picked up her phone. Just as she was about to ask if something bad had happened, Yuna, who had been maintaining silence, spoke first.
Are you home alone? What are you doing right now?

“I woke up a little while ago. I’m reading a book while having a light meal.”
A book? What book? Is it a parenting book, by any chance?
Startled, Se-kyung nervously glanced around.
Is she poking fun at me? How does she know I’m reading a parenting book?
“Why do you suddenly mention a parenting book?”
As Se-kyung awkwardly laughed, a deep sigh was heard from the other side.
“Breathing so deeply, you’ll run out of air. Why are you so uneasy? Is something wrong with you?”
It’s not something wrong with me; it’s with you.
“Me?”
Wondering what this was about, Se-kyung chuckled and raised her head.

“I don’t have any problems….”
It’s probably something you don’t know since you just woke up. For now, check the article I’m sending you.
Why suddenly ask me to read an article?
While Se-kyung was perplexed, a message from Yuna arrived. She immediately opened the message and checked the linked article.
“When did this…?”
Se-kyung’s eyes shook nervously as she read the headline.
It’s an article from this morning.
The hands of Se-gyeong, flipping through the article, moved quickly.
Her head was spinning. How on earth did such an article come out…?
Is it true that you’re pregnant?
“…”

In response to Yuna’s question, Se-gyeong couldn’t say anything and bit her lips.
Her hand lingered on one of the photos.
Wasn’t the sound of the shutter heard at that time?
The photo accompanying the article was taken when she went to the bookstore with Tae-jo.

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.
