Yeo Woon flagged down a passing taxi and headed to Han Nam Dong. In the quiet streets of the early morning, she pulled a mirror out of her bag and hastily wiped her face with a cleansing tissue.
Because her role was a gisaeng, her makeup had been quite flashy. Yeo Woon quickly swiped lip balm across her mostly cleansed face and put on a hat she took out from her bag.
Well, she was just one of the ensemble members, not the lead actress, so it should be fine to go as is, right?
As she entered the store that Seo Ga Ram had directed her to, a crowd of people who seemed to have rented the entire place were cheerfully chattering away.
Yeo Woon first sought out the face of Baek In Ho, who had directed this performance. Baek In Ho, with his face slightly red as if he had had some strong drinks, was cheerfully smiling.
“Teacher! I’m sorry I’m late.”
“Oh! Ms. Yeo Woon is here. Our team’s treasure!”
The actors who were next to Baek In Ho greeted Yeo Woon with a wave. When Yeo Woon smiled and greeted back, Seo Ga Ram, who had been sitting next to Baek In Ho, quickly grabbed a chair and made a place for Yeo Woon.
This performance held a great deal of meaning for Yeo Woon. It was her first time appearing in a musical of such scale and popularity, like this work.
Seeing Yeo Woon arrive with her hat pulled down low, Seo Ga Ram immediately scolded her.
“I told you to dress up a bit. Do you know who’s coming here today?”
“Who’s coming?”
“Seol Ji Oh.”
“What?!”
Yeo Woon unintentionally raised her voice.
Thanks to that, the attention of others was focused on Yeo Woon for a moment. As if nothing was wrong, Yeo Woon waved her hand and then lowered her voice to ask Seo Ga Ram.
“Seo, Seol Ji Oh?”
“Yeah. Amazing, right?”
“Why would Seol Ji Oh come here?”
“He’s said to be coming to see Teacher Baek? He’s in Korea now. Thanks to that, everyone’s all excited. Look at Han Yu Mi over there, she even changed her outfit.”
Seo Ga Ram pointed at Han Yu Mi, the female lead of this musical, while chuckling. However, Yeo Woon didn’t see or hear anything.
Seol Ji Oh is coming?
Upon hearing the name Seol Ji Oh, her heart started to throb loudly.
She had imagined it countless times. The moment when she would meet Seol Ji Oh again.
Having the same profession, she had thought that they would inevitably run into each other at some point. And when that happened, she wanted to approach Seol Ji Oh in a somewhat impressive manner and greet him.
To ask how he had been, to apologize for disappearing so suddenly without a word back then….
And while doing so, to share past memories and look at each other who had grown into adults in a fascinating, and slightly proud way such was her imagination.
But she didn’t know that the day would be today. And contrary to her imagination, she was not yet anything significant.
And especially today…
She lowered her gaze and took a look at her own outfit, Yeo Woon bit her lip tightly.
It was the first time meeting him in as long as 13 years, why did it have to be in this state…!
As if she had made up her mind, Yeo Woon pulled her hat low and grabbed her bag. Even if she were to run into Seol Ji Oh, it shouldn’t be today, not in this state.
She was about to get up from her seat after greeting Baek In Ho when suddenly Baek In Ho sprang up from his seat.
“Oh! Ji Oh!”
Yeo Woon turned her head following Baek In Ho’s gaze.
“Professor.”
It was Seol Ji Oh.
Undoubtedly, it was Seol Ji Oh.
Unknowingly, Yeo Woon swallowed her breath and looked at Seol Ji Oh with widened eyes. Despite the considerable distance, an aura distinctly different from an ordinary person could be felt.
An impressively tall stature that rivaled a model’s, with a highquality suit that seemed to perfectly fit his body. However, what was more perfect was his beautiful face, as if a picture was drawn with deep lines on his fair skin.
An appearance that looked like a work of art meticulously created by a god.
People were fascinated by the unique surreal atmosphere created by Seol Ji Oh, and both men and women were entranced as they gazed at him.
Yeo Woon couldn’t take her eyes off Seol Ji Oh either. No, from the moment she saw Seol Ji Oh, everything around her had become mere background.
And quite absurdly, it felt like tears were about to fall.
Yeo Woon momentarily pressed her hat down.
She felt strange.
Perhaps it was because it was a face she was seeing after 13 years.
Seol Ji Oh, who had grown up, felt entirely like a different person, yet in some way, he was familiar.
“It’s been a long time, Professor.”
A deep voice with a good echo reached Yeo Woon’s ears.
Already at that voice, the surrounding female actresses started making sounds of admiration. As Seol Ji Oh came closer, Baek In Ho ran towards him with a big smile and embraced him.
“You must be busy, but you came all the way here. Thank you, Ji Oh.”
“No, not at all. I also wanted to see the Professor.”
While Baek In Ho and Seol Ji Oh were talking, people brought chairs and made a seat for Seol Ji Oh opposite Baek In Ho. And everyone stopped their conversation and were waiting for Seol Ji Oh. Some already had mesmerized expressions.
Among those many people, Yeo Woon was the only one not looking at Seol Ji Oh.
Seol Ji Oh walked over to the table and sat in the place that people had prepared. Coincidentally, it was a seat almost facing Yeo Woon.
As soon as Seol Ji Oh sat down, Baek In Ho spoke to the people with an enthusiastic voice.
“Is there anyone here who doesn’t know Seol Ji Oh? World star Seol Ji Oh has come all the way to see this old man. Everyone, applause!”
People cheered. Seol Ji Oh softly smiled, stood from his seat, and looked around at the people. Then, as the attention was focused on him, he opened his lips and spoke to the people with a pleasant voice.
“Thank you for welcoming me. As a sign of gratitude, I will cover the expenses for this place. Enjoy to your heart’s content.”
“Wow!!”
While everyone was excitedly saying how different a world star is, Yeo Woon couldn’t bring herself to laugh comfortably. Her heart was still beating wildly and her head was dizzy.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
