Some days, he would silently look at Yeonju throughout the tour. Some days, he would try to talk to Yeonju, only to be ignored. On other days, he would buy some delicious desserts and offer them, knowing that if he bought them alone, she wouldn’t accept.
To anyone’s eyes, he looked like a perfectly fine man, not to mention exceptionally handsome, with a modest attire, attending a tour on a whim. Rumors began to spread among the guides about this mysterious man.
“I have no idea what he’s doing.”
No one could think that Jinwook was an LM Group director. It was understandable because there was no reason for the third-generation heir to a conglomerate to participate in a guided tour like a tourist on vacation.
“Is he from another guide company?”
Ignoring the murmurs of the guide, Yeonju only looked at her schedule.
Yeonju was in Positano, a coastal village in the southern part of Italy.
While the tour guests enjoyed their free time, Yeonju sat in a cafe she frequented.
The terrace where she sat offered a clear view of the sea when she turned her head. No matter where you entered, the view from this village cafe was beautiful.
Yeonju took out a book from her bag. It was an art history book that Minwoo had lent her a few days ago.
Starting from where she had stopped reading yesterday, she began to read again. The cool spring breeze occasionally shook Yeonju’s hair. After pushing her falling hair back, she continued reading.
While concentrating for a while, something was placed next to her book. Yeonju’s gaze turned to the square dish placed next to the book. Inside it was Tiramisu topped with strawberries.
“…….,”
Yeonju turned her head to look at the person who naturally pulled out a chair and sat down – Jinwook.
After finishing his Americano, Jinwook, now quite familiar with the scenery, looked into the distance.
“Even after seeing it several times, it’s still fancy here.”
While ordinary people might participate in a southern tour once or twice in their lifetime, Jinwook was already on his third tour.
Yeonju lowered her gaze again and focused on her book.
After looking at the Tiramisu once, Jinwook said to Yeonju, “Why aren’t you eating?”
“…….,”
“Wasn’t this something you liked?”
In fact, Tiramisu was a dessert that Minah liked, not Yeonju. Without knowing this, Jinwook would bring Tiramisu like this every time during the tour.
Yeonju, still looking at the book, said, “Even if you like something, you get tired of it if you eat it every day.”
With one hand supporting his chin, Jinwook looked intently at Yeonju.
“But I don’t get tired of it.”
His low voice was carried by the wind.
“It’s okay to eat what you like every day.”
“…….,”
“I don’t get tired of seeing you every day like this.”
His gaze intensified towards her face. He attributed the warmth on her face to the unusually hot sunlight.
Still looking only at the book, Yeonju felt something being taken out of Jinwook’s jacket. Then, he handed it to Yeonju.
“Read this.”
What he handed her was an elongated envelope. Yeonju squinted one eye suspiciously.
“What is this?”
“Sort of like an agreement.”
Yeonju took out the paper from the envelope and unfolded it.
Kang Yeonju (hereinafter referred to as ‘Party A’) presents the following conditions to continue marital life with Cha Jinwook (hereinafter referred to as ‘Party B’), and if violated, Party B shall compensate for all claims Party A demands.
From the first line, Yeonju found it strange. When she made a puzzled expression, Jinwook began to explain the contents written on the paper.
“Write down what you want as a condition to continue married life.”
“…….,”
“I can make sure you never see the faces of your family members again, and I can let you study whatever you want.”
Jinwook continued with a serious expression.
“Write down whatever you want. If I violate the conditions, then I’ll do everything as you wish. I can give you my entire fortune, shares, everything.”
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.
