“No, it’s just that there’s a malicious rumor circulating. Interestingly, it seems to involve Ms. Yeo Woon. They say she’s close to Mr. Ji Oh.”
Seol Ji Oh furrowed his brow.
A malicious rumor?
The very phrase made him uncomfortable.
What on earth could be said about Yeo Woon to warrant such a rumor?
“Could you tell me what it’s about?”
[The content is rather predictable. I’ll send it to you now, so take a look. The atmosphere hasn’t fully embraced it yet, but I noticed it slowly spreading on social media.]
“On social media?”
[Yes, on social media. VF isn’t a quiet agency, but maybe you haven’t heard yet?]“Ugh…”
[But, Ji Oh, this… it’s not true, right? I want to fact-check it too.]Seol Ji Oh clenched his teeth for a moment.
In any case, Reporter Seo’s call was more about preparing himself than worrying.
Seol Ji Oh furrowed his brow and spoke with a carefully composed tone.
“No matter what rumors are going around, they’ll all be false. I guarantee that. Reporter Seo, thank you for reaching out.”
Seol Ji Oh ended the call and immediately checked the message sent by Reporter Seo.
His face turned chillingly cold as he read the text.
[Y, who is rising as a top star from T Company, has actually climbed from obscurity to a leading role through secret meetings with the conglomerate chairman. Staff members at the filming site trust Y so much that they would bow their heads if Y is mentioned, despite the fact that he engages in all sorts of tyranny and villainy. In addition, despite his innocent appearance, he is famous for his excessive spending and flamboyant lifestyle.]The initials clearly intended to make it unmistakable that it was about Yeo Woon, and it was a collection of the worst nonsense imaginable.
It was so absurd that he couldn’t even find words to express his disbelief.
Naming something like this after Y?
Seol Ji Oh immediately called President Ju Seok Young. Ju Seok Young answered the phone with unclear pronunciation, as if he was in the middle of eating.
[Oh, Ji Oh.]“President.”
[Oh, what’s with the scary ‘President’? What’s going on?]Seol Ji Oh massaged his temple with one hand. Ju Seok Young seemed to have no clue about anything.
“Our agency’s actor is being hit with malicious rumors, and you’re not managing it properly.”
[What? What are you talking about? Speak so I can understand.]Seol Ji Oh let out a sigh and spoke in a low voice.
“Yeo Woon is being targeted by malicious rumors. It’s from a reporter, and it’s spreading rapidly. Please check and take action as soon as possible.”
“I’ll send it to you in a text message.”
After sending the information received from the reporter to Ju Seok Young, Seol Ji Oh disconnected the call without waiting for a response.
I hope Yeo Woon hasn’t seen this already.
Anxious, Seol Ji Oh dialed Yeo Woon’s phone number. However, all he heard was the repeated sound of the call connecting, as Yeo Woon didn’t answer.
Why isn’t she picking up?
Come to think of it, there has been no contact since their conversation earlier today…
What could have happened?
Seol Ji Oh, feeling his chest tightening with frustration, loosened his tie, which had been choking him.
How long has it been since Yeo Woon was hurt by those baseless rumors on the set, and now this malicious rumor?
Seol Ji Oh, out of curiosity, entered Yeo Woon’s name into the search bar. Immediately, an article from an online news source that had been posted a few minutes ago appeared.
The provocative title crumpled Seol Ji Oh’s face.
This is going to be a real mess, seriously.
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!
