Soaked in such thoughts, wet with water, he came to a conclusion about a problem he had been pondering since he was abroad.

After finishing the shower, Do Ha came out of the bathroom in a robe. Then, suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Hyun Seo was still sitting at the vanity just as she had been earlier.

Do Ha slowly approached her from behind.

As he appeared in the mirror and looked at his wife, she too raised her eyes in the mirror and looked at him.

Do Ha, who had come up right behind her, asked.

“Why are you still like this.”

Then he picked up the hairdryer on the vanity and said.

“I’ll dry your hair.”
Soon, the whirring noise echoed in their ears as he began to dry Hyun Seo’s hair with a rather affectionate touch.

Hyun Seo was quietly watching his reflection in the mirror.

After a while, when her long hair was dry, the hairdryer was eventually turned off. The silence felt even more awkward now that the noisy sound had stopped.

“Thank you.”
Her husband slowly put down the hairdryer from his hand and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Hyun Seo also kept eye contact with her husband in the mirror without saying anything.

For some reason, her husband was not leaving his spot. He just stood there behind her, staring at her intensely with the same eyes that he used to adore since her childhood.

Hyun Seo continued to gaze at him and then stood up from the chair. Then she turned around to meet the eyes of the man in reality, not the man in the mirror.

The same gaze that was just meeting her eyes was now directly in front of her. Naturally, the real thing was much more intense than the reflection in the mirror.

That intensity even came closer. As Hyun Seo’s eyes widened in hesitation, her husband’s palm touched her cheek.

At the end of the silence, he kissed her. As his soft lips touched hers, Hyun Seo closed her eyes.

It had been a long time. It also felt like something she had been longing for a long time. The kiss quickly heated up.

In that momentum, Do Ha lifted her in his arms and took her to the bed. Hyun Seo, who was casually laid down on the bed, looked up at her husband.

There was an undeniable passion in his gaze. As if he had been holding back for a long time but could no longer wait.

After that, he began to undress as if he was fueled with urgency.

.

.

.

Considering the awkward atmosphere that had been between them, it was a relatively impulsive act, I think.

Perhaps it was because they had been apart for several months.

In the couple’s bedroom, where only the dim stand light shone, there was still a lingering heat.

The husband, who had taken a moment to catch his breath in the quiet atmosphere that had eventually settled, was the first to break the silence.

“…We should have our second child soon.”
Hyun Seo, who had been lying down looking at the ceiling, turned his head to see the side of his husband.

“Is that so…..”
I don’t even know how the past year or so has passed. When Seo Ha was around, she wanted to have a younger sibling soon, but since Seo Ha’s departure, there was no time to think about having a baby.

“Of course, there will be no one to replace Seo Ha’s place. But if another baby comes, it will be better in many ways than now.”
It seemed like the conclusion Do Ha had reached in the current situation.

However, Hyun Seo was not even sure about that. Recently, she wanted to give up on her blatant inlaws, and her thoughts about her husband, who didn’t love her, were changing.

Half of her wanted to stay by her husband’s side, and the other half wanted to abandon her husband along with her inlaws.

Even today, her husband was late from work. He seemed to be buried in work from the day after they returned to Korea.

Since he returned to his original position, it would be understandable if Do Ha was busy.

Hyun Seo, who was about to lie down in her pajamas, hesitated for a moment.

‘…We should have our second child soon.’
The second… the second child. In this situation?

No matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t right.

Even deciding whether to continue this marriage was becoming a dilemma, let alone a new life.

Hyun Seo turned over and left the master bedroom. Then she headed to the guest room on the same second floor.

At that time, a sound came from the stairs. It was the sound of Do Ha, who had finally come home from work.

Hyun Seo, who had turned around, naturally asked him upon encountering him.

“Are you home?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve worked hard. Rest. I’m going to bed first.”
As she threw that one sentence at her husband, as usual, Hyun Seo grabbed the door handle to enter the guest room.

“Where are you going?”
Do Ha, who had become curious, didn’t just pass by and asked.

“I’m planning to sleep in this room.”
“…What?”
Since his wife had never done this before, Do Ha seemed to not understand her words.

“I’ve thought about it, and I don’t think it’s time for a second child now.”
As Hyun Seo casually showed her intention to refuse, Do Ha’s face hardened. His displeasure was apparent in his expression.

“So, you’re going to use separate rooms?”
“If not….”
Unable to dare say the words, “You’ll just keep bothering me,” Hyun Seo trailed off.

Do Ha was originally a passionate man. Consistently so since their honeymoon.

Since her husband, who had returned from a foreign country, had become passionate again since yesterday, she couldn’t guarantee anything if they were in the same bed.

Hyun Seo suddenly asked her husband, who had been staring at her with sharp eyes.

“Do you… need my body?”
“What?”
For a moment, Do Ha’s brows furrowed.

“No?”
“What kind of expression is that? Don’t make me out to be a piece of garbage.”
“Nothing else.”
Despite the seemingly angry expression on her husband’s face, Hyun Seo maintained a calm demeanor.

“If it’s like that, I thought about maybe using contraception. It seems like you don’t need my body if you don’t plan on a second child.”
Suddenly, Do Ha was at a loss for words. He neither denied nor affirmed her words, seeming to be in a state of contemplation.

However, his pride seemed to have been hurt, so he might not seek his wife for a while. Hyun Seo thought that was rather better.

“Good night.”
With those words, Hyun Seo swiftly turned around. Leaving her confused husband behind, she went into the room.

Do Ha was frozen like a statue, blankly staring at the door that had just slammed shut.

For some reason, he couldn’t enter the master bedroom.

He walked to the guest room where Hyun Seo had gone. Then he grabbed the doorknob.

However, he didn’t open it. After pausing for a moment, he had no choice but to let go of the handle.

He couldn’t think of what to say next to his coldhearted wife.

Do Ha had no choice but to enter the master bedroom alone. Soon after, he took off his shirt.

He roughly pulled at his tie, let go of it, and flopped down onto the bed. Then, he ran his fingers through his forehead with a long sigh.

Today, she felt unusually unwell.

She had only prepared the ingredients and set the menu for the housekeeper for dinner, then went up to the guest room to rest.

Her husband, Do Ha, had been in Korea for almost three weeks now. He still left at dawn and returned only when it was pitch dark.

She thought that he was probably going to work earlier and leaving later than any other employee in the Jinseong Group.

But today, there was a noise from the second floor before the sun had completely set. Wondering why her husband was coming home early, Hyun Seo finally left the room.

She was just about to step into the hallway. Hyun Seo furrowed her white forehead.

“Why does it smell like this……”
It was just the usual smell of the housekeeper starting to cook.

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Synopsis:

“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.

While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the  Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…

Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
