After a neat response, the rich scent of well-brewed tea leaves spread.
The wedding proceeded smoothly.
Chairman Jang cleared the groundless rumors in a morning, sat in the highest seat at the venue with a satisfied face, and looked down at his son and daughter-in-law.
The bride’s parents’ seats and the guest seats were filled with people bought by Useok’s money.
As commonly known in arranged marriages, Jiwan didn’t show her face even once.
Useok meticulously filled the empty seat of the groom, and the empty wedding proceeded within the empty ceremony.
[Bando Construction, Representative Seo Jiwon. Marries a girl with an ordinary appearance.]The marriage of the illegitimate child of the Bando Group was quietly announced to the world with a one-line article.
In the upscale residential area on the outskirts of the city, Hwan-dong.
The honeymoon home was situated at the very top of the complex.
The heat rising from the heated ground was blowing as cool wind as the hill.
Since it was vacation and there was no school, Help had been stuck at home for the past few days.

Even though it was just a fake wedding, I thought there would be a honeymoon, but there was none. The man called a husband didn’t even bring a single item for the newlywed home.
Three and a half days had passed since the wedding, and there was no one coming or going. More than half of Help’s day was spent on the yard bench.
Rrrr.
Who could it be?
There was no one to call since the three management guys were all on vacation abroad at the same time as the vacation started.
It was an unknown number.
“Hello?”
-It’s Manager Han.
In the boring car, the familiar name was welcome.
“Manager Han!”

-After the ceremony, the CEO is planning to come on a business trip. Is everything okay?
“Oh, yes.”
Jiwon’s business trip was known through the news. Something about a large shopping mall site in Dubai.
-The journalist and the move-in assistant, as well as the garden maintenance personnel, will visit around tomorrow. It was a bit difficult to adjust the schedule, so it’s a bit late.
“It’s okay. I’ve been eating well with the ingredients you left in the refrigerator.”
-Oh, that’s a relief. Then, I’ll stop by for a moment tomorrow.
It was just about to hang up the phone.
“Um, Manager Han?”
-Yes, please speak, ma’am.
A silent silence followed.

The hesitation of whether it was okay to ask was powerful.
“…Um, the CEO. Is there… anything wrong?”
After spitting out the words, Help closed her eyes, tightly gripping both eyes.
For some reason, it felt like a chilly scolding from Jiwan would pour out from the other side of the receiver.
After a moment of hesitation, Useok’s answer followed.
-Yes, thanks to you, everything is fine.
Inside the sedan, Useok turned around after pressing the speakerphone end switch.
“At this point, isn’t it simple enough, Manager?”
On the way out of the airport.
As soon as the ceremony was over, the man put the woman down at the honeymoon home and scolded the man who didn’t take a single step.

Even in the midst of that, Help felt sorry for asking about her husband.
“If you keep doing this, this six-month marriage won’t last. Manager, you really don’t know women too much.”
“Even if I’m thirty-eight and still haven’t gotten married, Manager Han’s remarks are not for me.”
Hmm, hmm.
At Useok’s fake cough, the driver, Mr. Park, chuckled and let out a smile.
“In Anseodong, there wasn’t much to say, was there?”
The day they visited Anseodong with the woman.
On the day when Mrs. Jang told him to go out for a while, as planned, Jiwan brought in the head of the special management team, Hyang-in, into the office.
If Anseodong was monitoring his daily life, there was no reason why Jiwan couldn’t plant his person.
In the special dedicated office where the old man would go crazy if he saw a car, Jiwan played a significant role.

It was also because Mrs. Jang brought a car that could be scolded on important occasions, and Jiwan had played a considerable role in recruiting a capable person to the special management team.
It was also a reason why Mrs. Jang brought a car that could be scolded on important occasions, and Jiwan played a considerable role in recruiting a capable person to the special management team.
According to Hyang-in, the head of the special management team, on that day, Mrs. Jang was skeptical about this marriage.
Knowing about women, having nothing to lose or gain in a woman’s environment, yet being susceptible to money, was also worrisome.
Before the suspicion deepened, it was right to enter the honeymoon home.
“Let’s go to Hwaan-dong.”
Mr. Park in the driver’s seat and Useok exchanged glances and answered nonchalantly.
“Yes, I’ll go right away.”
On the Hwaan-dong garden.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
Turning around to Usuk, who was following behind, Jiwon asked.

“I’ll see you go in, Representative.”
The aesthetic secretary bowed to the younger boss with lowered eyebrows.
“Why, do you think I’ll leak elsewhere? Or maybe, do you think I can’t find my way home?”
To the smiling Usuk, Jiwon added one more word.
“Just go in, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Since he had come all the way here, there was no more reason to follow. Usuk bowed slightly, greeted, and left.
Left alone, Jiwon stood still and looked up at the two-story honeymoon home.
‘Was this house always this big?’
She had spent more than two weeks alone in this big house.
Standing in front of the entrance, Jiwon realized that she didn’t even know the password for this house, and she didn’t have the house key card.

‘What kind of woman doesn’t even lock the door in this day and age.’
Hesitating whether to go back or not, the door opened inconspicuously.
‘What kind of woman doesn’t even lock the door in this day and age.’
The wide, white-interior house was silent.
Even the garden lights beyond the curtains that were not drawn over the living room, where no lights were turned on, were illuminating instead.
‘Why aren’t the lights on?’
Click.
Even with the crisp button sound, when the living room light did not turn on, she pressed it several times more.
‘What is this, is it broken?’
It was a few steps away when, without much concern, the door opened, nonchalantly.

“Uwaaaah!!”
With a sharp scream, something white rushed towards me through the darkness.
Chin.
What was caught in the hands of the big man was me, who fell over the end of the sofa.
Thud.
As I fell onto the sofa, the fluffy thing on top of it was also unfolded.
With my nose, I vaguely caught a whiff of soap scent.
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…?
