Actor Ha Min-hee’s movie surpassed ten million, and Tae-seok’s drama was continuously ranked first in popularity. The girl group, about to debut, had already garnered a significant amount of interest, forming a fandom.

The stock price also hit an all-time high. HJ Entertainment was rising in value fastest in the entertainment sector.

The law drama he looked into for Tae-seok also felt good. The interestingly unfolding scenario was quite attractive, and the director was excellent too.

“A lawyer.”

Tae-seok in a suit was a cheat. It’s suffocating.

It was the moment when he smiled, thinking about him. Suddenly, the door to the CEO’s office opened, and Tae-seok came in.

It was a somewhat impolite visit, but his carefree appearance actually made Ji-hyuk’s heart thump. It seemed more like a secret meeting exchanged between those who knew each other well.

Ji-hyun-jeong always wished that Tae-seok would behave more rudely than her. If he boldly crossed the line that was drawn between them, it seemed that she, too, could fall apart messily…

On numerous days when they were drunk on wine and called each other home, on one of those days, it seemed like it might get disheveled. Tae-seok had never had an unclear day, not even once. His gaze, tone, actions—everything was perfect, just like a textbook.

Even if he got drunk and fell down first, he used to tidy up neatly before going home.
I know how to bring out a sexy and decadent gaze in front of the camera. The boldly exposed upper body, tightly packed muscles, veins popping on the forearms and shoulders, deeply engraved masculinity.

In the photoshoot, Tae-seok was so beautiful that it made Ji-hyun-jung’s teeth tremble. Having waited for so long, she really wanted him now.

“Tae-seok! What’s going on?”

When Tae-seok appeared on a day when everything was going satisfactorily, everything finally became perfect. Ji-hyun-jung couldn’t hide her joy.

Tae-seok just nodded with a glance. He casually sat down on a stone seat, but even that was okay.

His overwhelming presence made Ji-hyun-jung step back involuntarily.

Tae-seok was dressed perfectly in a suit, just as Ji-hyun-jung had imagined and excitedly anticipated.

“You look very cool today. What’s up?”

Tae-seok responded with a strange expression.

“Yeah.”

That’s all. Even though he approached like someone with business, he didn’t initiate the conversation. Still, Ji-hyun-jung was fine with that.

“What’s up?”

If it’s a schedule that requires this level of dressing up, she wouldn’t be oblivious to what it is.

Tae-seok hesitated for a moment and then answered briefly.

“I have something to show you.”

Something that required a perfect suit fit.

It wouldn’t be something trivial like going to the market. Perhaps a film festival, a preview, or maybe even an opera performance. There wasn’t any important schedule today…

Ji-hyun-jung, who had been thinking hard, couldn’t find the answer. But judging by the expression, she didn’t ask, guessing that he might not want to tell her.

In fact, there were more things she wanted to say than things she wanted to ask.

“Tae-seok, I found it. A lawyer drama.”

“A drama?”

“Yeah. I’m studying for the role of a lawyer.”

Tae-seok’s eyebrows slightly twitched. What nonsense is this?

Lately, he was too busy with shooting, and there was no time to talk with Director Hong. He hadn’t heard about the conversation between Ji-hyun-jung and Director Hong.

So, he ignored it.

“I don’t need it.”

Even if he heard it, he would probably give the same answer. But more than that, he wondered when she would come… He gazed outside the door.

“You don’t need it?”

CEO Ji asked with a casual expression.

“Why?”

By now, the quick-witted Tae-seok quickly sensed what kind of conversation had been going on between Director Hong and Ji-hyun-jung. However, since he had no intention of playing along, he consistently ignored it.

That’s when it happened.

A faint murmur was heard from a distance. It seemed to be coming from the lobby in front of the elevator, the farthest from the CEO’s office.

Murmuring.

Because he was concentrating and listening intently, Tae-seok could hear it right away. However, Ji-hyun-jung still didn’t realize it. Soft classical music was playing in the CEO’s office, so the faint noise was buried under the gentle melody of string instruments.

Finally, she’s here.

Tae-seok smiled meaningfully.

For some reason, Ji-hyun-jung followed suit and laughed. She was a foolish woman.

The sound got closer and closer.
Now it was loud enough for Ji-hyun-jung to hear, but she paid no attention. When Tae-seok rejected the lawyer drama, there was no room for other thoughts in the shock of it.

“Not needed? Why isn’t it needed? Why would someone who claimed to be preparing so hard suddenly…”

Eventually, the commotion became too noticeable for Ji-hyun-jung to ignore.

Instead of just murmurs, distinct voices were heard, getting closer, accompanied by dull, bumping sounds, and a woman’s voice trying to stop a fight mingled within. It was a tumultuous disturbance.

“What’s going on?”

When Ji-hyun-jung, who couldn’t endure it any longer, half-raised her body, the office door opened with a thud, along with the noise.

Eleven people in suits stormed in carrying blue boxes. Kim, the secretary, who couldn’t stop them, followed breathlessly with a dismayed expression.

“The National Tax Service. Starting today, an special tax investigation of HJ Entertainment will begin. Please cooperate.”

Without a moment to spare, several people began sweeping away essential documents, including accounting books. It was truly an audacious touch.

Laptops, mainframes, tablets, etc., disappeared into the boxes first. Following that, various documents were all swept away.

The fact that they had reached the CEO’s office meant that the offices below had already been raided. Ji-hyun-jung was mentally robbed of her composure, distracted by Tae-seok.

As suspicious actions that could lead to legal issues quickly filled her mind, extreme anxiety began to creep in.

“W-What are you doing right now? Stop it immediately!”

“We’ve received a report of tax evasion.”

“Don’t do this!”

The scene was chaotic, with people and documents intertwined like a passing tsunami. Then it happened.

In Ji-hyun-jung’s eyes, which were shaking uncontrollably, the sight of Tae-seok sitting alone, leisurely scanning the chaos, entered.

His perfect suit was like a black leopard. Tae-seok, who didn’t hide his laughter, seemed to find this situation quite enjoyable. Suddenly, Ji-hyun-jung became curious about the true nature of what Tae-seok referred to as ‘spectacle.’

What kind of spectacle. Could it be. This.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.

After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.

Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”

He fell ill.

She came to see him, bringing breakfast.

As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”

She turned around upon hearing the noise.

He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”

“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.

He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”

Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.

After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.

Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.

A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”

What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.

What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.

Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead
