“Director of Songhwagung got a gift, a full one!” Young Suk grumbled, sitting at the dinner table with her son Ju Hyuk and daughterinlaw Hye Mi.

“Why doesn’t she say anything if she got it?”
“Since she hasn’t said anything, maybe she didn’t get it? It didn’t come back after all.”
“Is that so?”
Still, Young Suk tilted her head with a disgruntled expression.

“I’ll have to check when I go tomorrow. I can’t help it.”
“That’s right, Mother. I would love to accompany you, but I can’t cancel my prior engagement tomorrow.”
“That’s okay.”
While the two were having a lively discussion, Chairman Chae approached the dinner table.

“What are you two talking about right now?”
“Oh, did father come?”
“Please sit down, Chairman.”
Without a clear order, Young Suk and Hye Mi changed their expressions and avoided Chairman Chae’s question.

Chairman Chae looked back and forth between the two with a stern expression, then finally sat down on a chair. He couldn’t bear the trouble whenever Young Suk and Hye Mi were scheming and causing problems.

“Ju Hyuk.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Ju Hyuk always acted like a submissive puppy in front of Chairman Chae.

Though he was not his biological son, Chairman Chae had taken him in to fulfill Young Suk’s demands for Do Ha. However, he was not legally his son either.

On paper, Ju Hyuk’s mother was Young Suk, and since Chairman Chae hadn’t adopted him, his biological father was still recorded as such.

“I heard some unpleasant news this time.”
“Ah…that…I’m sorry.”
Chairman Chae had given him a position in a small subsidiary company, paid him a generous salary, and even bought him a house for his wedding, considering he was Do Ha’s brother. However, his extravagance was even greater than Do Ha’s, and he was always complaining about it, always criticizing Young Suk and Do Ha.

He could have at least managed the company work decently, but he often smeared the faces of Chairman Chae and Do Ha with his irresponsible actions.

Thus Began Your Regret

“There are many watchful eyes in the company. How long are you going to behave carelessly? Is it necessary to create discord with a handful of employees?”
This time, several employees had resigned. And they were the somewhat useful ones.

“…”
“If the performance of your new venture had been good, it would have covered some aspects, but that’s not the case, is it?”
“I’m really ashamed, Chairman.”
“Dear me, Chairman. But he’s trying hard. He’s thinking a lot about the company.”
The one who didn’t know what to do the more she said so was Young Suk. Whenever they happened to dine together, she felt nervous as if walking on thin ice.

“Hmm… I hope you’re not under the illusion that I will always tolerate you and him.”
Chairman Chae gave a cold rebuke. Throughout the meal, Young Suk and Ju Hyuk chewed their food as if they were bees who had eaten honey.

The next day, as soon as Young Suk arrived at Songhwagung, she was so anxious that she loitered in front of the director’s office before the service at the center had even begun.

‘She even got a gift, so why does everything seem so bland? Is something lacking? Is it because she meets formidable motherinlaws, what is it?’
When the secretary looked at her strangely in front of the director’s office, she approached hesitantly.

“Hello, I remember giving something to the director before. Do you remember?”
“Ah, yes, hello? I did deliver it to the director at that time.”
“Is that so? Then the director did receive it, right?”
Knowing that it had been handed over to the director, Young Suk asked with a flushed face.

“Yes, she must have checked it.”
“But she didn’t say anything?”

“I only delivered it, so I don’t know anything about the situation after that. I’m sorry.”
“Ah, I see. Can I possibly see the director in person?”
As Young Suk asked with a pretense of a goodnatured smile, the secretary’s face showed discomfort.

“The director is very busy and only meets with those who have made an appointment in advance.”
“Oh, I see. I know that… I just asked in case.”
“I’m sorry.”
But Young Suk, unable to hide her disappointment, couldn’t easily leave her spot.

“Is becoming a Maehwa member originally as hard as picking a star from the sky?”
“I don’t know much about the service grade system. It’s not my job.”
“Still, serving the director closely, you might pick up something. If you know any tips or ways to move up quickly, could you give me a hint? There’s no clear standard, and it’s not like you can get in with a lot of money, I should at least know something.”
“Um… I don’t know any particular tips, but as far as I know, if more than half of the Maehwa members approve, you can enter right away. There are actually people who have entered that way.”
“Eh? More than half?”
She let out a sigh first. Hearing that, the barrier of the Maehwa center felt even higher.

Young Suk hadn’t made many connections, known to be formidable. Since entering the Chae Chairman’s family, she had tried hard to build them, but it wasn’t easy as there were many who looked down on her.

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.
