“You have to grab the help when it’s offered. The decision on the permanent conversion bond purchase is next week. Make sure you study well and bring the answer.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“And bring a plan for raising liquid assets.”
“I understand.”
Chairman Ha Baek Seung, who suddenly started talking about management issues, gave Tae Beom some homework and then stood up from his seat.

It was a surprisingly smooth first greeting in five years, as I thought I would be scolded on the spot.

“I must be leaving now. It’s going to be busy. Yoon, see Beom out!”
Tae Beom bowed his head.

“I will take my leave now.”
“Okay. Let’s do that. I don’t think I will be able to attend your inauguration as my condition seems to be lasting longer than I thought. Let’s just count it as me seeing you off today.”
Chairman Ha Baek Seung moved his steps.

Having completed his unexpected early arrival at work after leaving the main house, Tae Beom began his homework.

Ji Seok probably already prepared more than enough, but this wasn’t the time to just sit back and watch someone else’s party.

The deadline was only a week away. He was on pins and needles, as he had to prepare an alternative in the insufficient time that was already fully occupied by the analysis.

As soon as he arrived, Tae Beom, who had been buried in documents, leaned back in his chair and exhaled the breath he had been holding.

“Sigh…”

But why did you come back?

His grandfather’s question seemed strange. It contained the criticism, ‘Wasn’t it you who gave up everything when you left Korea?’

Yes, he didn’t plan to return. He was disillusioned with everything he left behind in Korea.

But that was when all of his resentment was directed at his grandfather.

He found out that Ji Seok was involved in the decisive event that led him to lose his loved one five years ago. Ji Seok was the one who tried to push Tae Beom out of Yu Sun Aviation headquarters.

Ji Seok must have toasted to his back as he gave up everything and left Korea.

When Tae Beom accidentally found out the situation before and after, he decided to return to Korea.

There was no strategy to speak of, the reason he clenched his teeth and endured this time of sorrow.

“I will eventually topple Ha Ji Seok from the highest point, who ruined his life just to secure managerial rights.”

Tae Beom lowered his body and held his breath. He was simply waiting for the right moment.

“Hello, Executive Director!”

And he gladly accepted the gift that Ji Seok had sent for him.

Hearing the voice of Hye Won, who greeted him warmly as she entered, Tae Beom opened his eyes that he had kept closed.

“You came out early, Executive Director. There was no fine dust today, the sky was blue, the wind was not cold, and the commute was good.”

She had a lively voice and an energetic face like a toy with a new battery, right from the morning.

“Executive Director, did you have coffee? Shall I get you a cup? Or would you like a cup of herb tea with a nice scent?”

Her overly vibrant voice, which seemed to be exerting its full strength, annoyed him.

A feeling of disgust rose in him, as the complex image of Hye Won, which had been intertwined within him yesterday, surfaced.

A woman sent by the Vice President. A woman who is on the same side as the Vice President.

A woman who behaves as if everything is just a coincidence, pretending to be oblivious to everything.

“How about a freshly heated bagel and soup? Or a vegan sandwich full of romaine lettuce is also good. It’s the most popular breakfast menu in the cafeteria.”

Tae Beom silently stared at Hye Won.

……A woman planted by the Vice President.

He thought he should keep her around for a while and see, rather than getting rid of her immediately.

“Let’s start with the meeting.”

“Ah, yes, Executive Director. I understand. I will prepare right away!”

He needed to find out what made her so exceptional that she caught the Vice President’s attention and got into Ha Tae Beom’s office.

It meant he was curious.

Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away

This is also on my reread list!

This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.

Definitely worth a read, y’all!

The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.

But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.

Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.

I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.

The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.

As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

Intro

As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.

But to enchant a god, making him taste the bitterness of love’s separation, long-lasting resentment, unattainable desires, and inability to let go…

Do you dare?

Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.

Only after being chased down from the heavens by the divine lord, confined and completely possessed by him, does she realize how successful she has been.

The once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.
