It couldn’t be Hayoung, and there was only one person who came to mind.
“Is it Park Chaerin talking?”
Yeonju nodded. Jinwook’s expression instantly became heavy as he observed her.
“That woman is really strange.”
“Why? Did something happen again?”
“…”
When Yeonju disappeared, Jinwook recalled what Chaerin had said and done to him.
‘Rather than erasing loneliness alone… Wouldn’t sharing it with someone be mutual support and strength?’
Approaching him with a blatant fragrance, she even overlapped her hand with his and spoke strange words. It was clearly abnormal behavior.
Furthermore, Yeonju heard from Eran that Chaerin was the one who informed her that pregnancy was difficul
“Why?”
“That woman has more than a few oddities. It seems like she wants to break apart the relationship between you and me.”
Jinwook, with a dark expression, said.
“I’ll have to keep an eye on her in the future.”
As soon as Chaerin entered the house, she threw the handbag she was holding.
The housemaid, surprised, approached her with a puzzled look.
“Madam, what’s the matter?”
“I want to be alone, so please leave!”
Chaerin shouted at the bewildered housemaid with a flustered face.
“What are you doing?! Can’t you hear me saying to leave?!!”
“Ah… Yes. I understand.”
The housemaid quickly gathered her belongings and went outside. Chaerin headed straight to the storage connected to the kitchen. In the storage, various types of alcohol were stored.
Chaerin took out a bottle of whiskey and returned to the kitchen without pouring it into a glass. She brought the bottle to her lips without pouring, drinking the liquor directly.
With a bitter gulp, Chaerin roughly set down the whiskey bottle. Then, she exhaled a rough breath.
“Ha, ha.”
She couldn’t calm down. She was so angry that it was unbearable.
Now, Chaerin was on her way back from the family gathering Hongseok called for after a long time. In the restaurant, everyone was sitting except for Inhyuk, who was on a business trip. Among them, she could see Jinwook and Yeonju sitting side by side.
“He must have brought her here.”
While watching the two people who seemed more affectionate than before, Hongseok’s words during the outburst made Chaerin’s insides explode even more.
“Jinwook widened his perspective and took a break by traveling during the time Yeonju was absent. Ye returned in such good health.”
Hongseok spoke to everyone.
“I know that there were many rumors going around during Yeonju’s absence. Those are just baseless rumors, and there’s nothing between them. Be especially careful not to let any unnecessary words come out again.”
In the end, Hongseok held the family gathering to show that there was nothing wrong between Yeonju and Jinwook, and it seemed to imply his willingness to accept Yeonju back into LM.
“Why!”
A voice filled with anger echoed.
“Why are you dragging along a woman who can’t even bear a child!!”
Jinwook also couldn’t understand, but he didn’t expect Hongseok, whom he trusted, to acknowledge Yeonju. Hongseok firmly believed that Yeonju would somehow betray him.
“Damn bastard Hong Inspiration. What’s wrong with having a useless daughter-in-law.”
Chaerin shouted again, drinking the alcohol with a gulp.
“If you want to have a descendant so badly, why are you keeping Yeonju with you!”
Unable to control the rising anger, Chaerin’s face trembled. Blue veins were visible in the clenched fist.
Yeonju, who was laughing next to Jinwook, appeared before Chaerin’s eyes.
I am so unhappy, yet she seemed to have no worries in the world.
How can she be so happy when she can’t even have a child?
Chaerin didn’t want to accept Yeonju into LM’s family like this.
“I didn’t want to continue living while constantly seeing that cold and unfamiliar face.
I had to find a way to make her leave this place.
Something stronger than what has been revealed so far was needed. Everyone needed to feel that Yeonju was an unnecessary presence in this household.
To achieve that…
Something seemed to come to Chaerin’s mind, and a chilling flash passed through her eyes.
After a long train of thought, as if determined, she bit her lips. Then, she began making a phone call to someone.”
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.
