“What? No, what are you talking about?”
Hye Mi, who was standing next to her husband, flinched as her motherinlaw’s voice rose.

Young Suk pointed at Hye Mi with a flushed face.
“You! You clearly said it was a son, you clearly said it was a son! Did you deceive me?”
“No, mother. At that time… the doctor clearly said it was a son.”
Hye Mi muttered in a voice that was as soft as an ant crawling.
“What?”
Young Suk was shocked, her mouth agape. She had definitely been pregnant with a son and had asked for an expensive bag as a pregnancy gift.

Just after being scammed, she had barely managed to get permission from Chairman Chae to buy it, but now it turned out to be a daughter.

Furious, Young Suk glared at Hye Mi with a trembling voice.
“You, bring that bag back right now. I’ll carry it!”
“Huh? Uh, mother, that’s mine. You gave it to me.”
“Do you know how much I pleaded with the chairman to buy that bag, which costs over a hundred million? I couldn’t even buy it because my card was taken away!”
“Mom, I’ll buy that bag for you later, okay?”
“That Birkin was originally mine! Do you know how long I had to wait to get it? He coveted it and took it! I only conceded because you said you were carrying a son.”
“Ah, Mom! You can’t take back a gift you’ve given.”
Ju Hyuk, like a fool, took Hye Mi’s side.
“Shut up! You unlucky wretch!”
“Mom. You also gave birth to two sons and wished you had a daughter, right? Isn’t it nice to have a granddaughter? You lost one granddaughter, so you have another.”
“If you marry into another family, you should continue the lineage. All these daughtersinlaw….”

Young Suk was so upset that she couldn’t control herself. She was disgusted with the brazen Hye Mi and her son who only sided with his wife.

Nevertheless, her eldest daughterinlaw hadn’t done something like ripping off a pregnancy gift, and now Young Suk missed Hyun Seo.
“Daughterinlaw from Seosan, put the abalone and Korean beef back in the fridge and serve these kids some leftover rice!”
Unable to control her anger, Young Suk went inside and slammed the door shut as if it would break.

The house was as dark as if no one lived there. She pressed the bell thinking someone might be inside, but there was no sound.

She had arrived not too late in the evening. It wasn’t a time when anyone would be asleep, but seeing that the lights didn’t turn on, it seemed like no one was home.

She couldn’t sleep at all. All she did was doze off in her car while circling around her inlaws’ house yesterday.

Despite the fatigue washing over her, she found herself heading to this place again today. But no matter how many times she came, she couldn’t catch a glimpse of Hyun Seo’s face.

Looking at the package at the front gate, it was clear that he was living there, but she just couldn’t encounter him.

As if he was deliberately avoiding her.

Did she really have to let go of her husband? She couldn’t make up her mind.
‘But if my husband becomes truly happy after leaving me…’
In that case, would she have to let him go?
“Haah…”
Do Ha let out a long, low sigh.

The thought of her husband leaving her and becoming happy was unbearable.

Her husband, living even better without her. She couldn’t stand the thought of it.

She felt engulfed by an unknown sense of defeat. It was a type of emotion she had never experienced before in her life.

.

.

A large sedan was parked in the narrow alley, out of place.

Across the small yard, her husband’s face, visible, had become even more haggard in just a few days. His sharp jawline and high nose looked even sharper.

Often, her husband would guard the front of the house with a blank face all night, and leave when dawn broke.

On such days, Hyun Seo would crouch down in front of the living room window and stay up all night with him.

She was in the early stages of pregnancy, so she tried to avoid going out as much as possible. Moreover, she avoided going out even more when her husband was visible.

But since he was her husband, with whom she had lived for several years, she was cautious because he might notice her pregnancy if they kept running into each other.

All she could hope for was to sort everything out and leave this place before her belly started to show.

Her lingering husband leaned against the black sedan. He fumbled inside his clothes and seemed to take something out.

In his hand was a cigarette. Hyun Seo’s eyes widened as she watched him put the cigarette in his mouth and light it.

He hadn’t smoked since they got married.

Hyun Seo had to suppress the surge of emotions welling up inside her.
“Don’t confuse people…”
She couldn’t be shaken by just that degree of disturbance.
‘If you look back on our marriage, you know. He doesn’t love me.’

Gathering her heart, Hyun Seo turned away from the scene she had been watching through the curtain gap.

And when she looked out again about an hour later, her husband was gone.

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!

A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead
