Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96

A woman wearing a mask and sunglasses entered the shaman’s shrine and carefully sat down on a cushion embroidered with golden thread. She then subtly slid a piece of paper across the table to the shaman—containing birth details for herself and another person.

“I know you’re Ms. Yoo. So what you really want to know is whether this man is the one destined to turn your fortune completely around, right?”

The shaman couldn’t miss it—the brilliant, radiant aura emanating from the woman unmistakably screamed “top actress Yoo Jung Hwa.”

Since her identity was already exposed, Jung Hwa saw no reason to keep hiding her face and removed her mask. Though this place, shimmering entirely in gold, was unlike anything she’d seen before, the strange energy she’d felt since stepping into the shrine wasn’t entirely unpleasant.

What particularly caught her eye was the husband—brawny and tall—who took his wife and baby out for a picnic. His sturdy build and height instantly reminded her of Tae Seo Jun. And the more she contemplated truly letting go of Tae Seo Jun, the more an intense obsession surged up her throat.

Unable to accept the reality that she might never get him back, she ended up here—at the shrine of a shaman famed for her uncanny accuracy.
