Eun Jae, who had finished her shower, walked into the room while wrapping her dripping wet hair with a towel.
Suddenly, the contract she had left on the bed came into her view. Eun Jae quietly approached and sat on the bed, gently picking up the contract that was lying next to her.
With her hand still damp, she rubbed the place where the man’s and her own signatures were engraved.
The man’s signature looked like a picture made up of graceful curves. In contrast, her name, written in block letters next to his, seemed oddly humble when compared side by side. She wished she had practiced beforehand if she knew it would be like this.
“There won’t be such a case, but let’s not involve personal feelings.”
“After all, it’s just a contract.”
He had said not to add unnecessary personal feelings to a marriage that had an established end. He added at the end to be careful not to complicate things.
“I have no intention of doing so either.”
She openly showed the displeasure she had not dared to show in front of the man, and began to slowly read through the contract details she had not fully examined earlier.
…§…
Marriage Contract
Wife Ji Eun Jae (hereinafter referred to as ‘Party A’) and husband Yoon Sun Woo (hereinafter referred to as ‘Party B’) agree as follows and pledge to comply with this contract in good faith.
Article 1
As soon as the contract is concluded with Party A, Party B will pay off all of Party A’s debts, and will generously provide the financial support that Party A needs.
Article 2
Party A must maintain a smooth marital relationship until Party B inherits the hospital and do their best in the roles of wife and husband while the marital relationship is maintained. They will not disclose any details related to the marriage contract to third parties.
Article 3
If Party B incurs damage due to Party A’s fault, Party B may request a refund of the expenses paid to Party A, and Party A must return it doubled.
Article 4
Even after the contract with Party A has expired, Party B will actively support Party A to continue economic activities on her own, and proceeds with a lawsuit to nullify the marriage in conjunction with the contract expiration. All the expenses related to this will be borne by Party B.
Article 5
This contract takes effect immediately when Party A stamps it, and the term is one year from the date the contract is accepted.
Article 6
Other necessary matters can be added or changed after consultation.
…§…
No matter what, being Party A on the contract, she could do whatever she wanted.
Still, she had asked out of curiosity. The man responded succinctly to Eun Jae’s question.
“It’s something only Miss Ji Eun Jae can do.”
The face of the man, smiling as he answered, surfaced in her mind.
Realizing that her lips were subconsciously curling into a smile, Eun Jae quickly composed herself and carefully put the contract back into the envelope.
“Can I… do this well?”
The contract had already been concluded, and she couldn’t back out now.
Each time she wanted to back out, she vowed to straighten up by recalling Article 3 .
The penalty was a whopping two times. It was no different from their threats, except for the direct threats.
Tch. Despite the click of her tongue, Eun Jae’s expression looked bright.
The feeling of liberation as if she had finally escaped from the seemingly neverending debt, and the anticipation that she might be able to return to her normal life, made Eun Jae’s heart flutter.
My first act of life was quite unfortunate, maybe the second act will be a bit better.
In the midst of her aimless thoughts, a hollow laugh slipped through Eun Jae’s lips.
After all, it was a contract marriage with a oneyear deadline.
It was a little past 10 o’clock.
With the day growing short, darkness came early. Outside the window was as calm as the deep sea. The bright moonlight extended far into the kitchen from the dusky living room.
At the end of that moonlight, a man lightly holding the stem of a wine glass was leisurely leaning on the table, swirling the cup filled with a red liquid.
The man was standing, dressed in a deep blue silk nightgown and pajama pants of the same design.
Between his slightly open gown, the man’s firm figure subtly revealed itself, bathed in the moonlight.
As Eun Jae stopped in surprise at the unexpected scene, Sun Woo, who felt her presence, slowly rose from his leaning position.
“Why? Can’t you sleep?”
Sun Woo, looking at Eun Jae with his alert eyes, smiled lightly.
Eun Jae, who had come across the man unexpectedly, rolled her eyes and quickly lowered her gaze to the floor.
“No……. I just came to get some water.”
As Sun Woo slowly put down the wine glass on the table and stood up, he kept his eyes on Eun Jae, leisurely tying his gown. It wasn’t even five seconds, but she felt suffocated.
“If you don’t mind, sit for a moment.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
