Would anything have changed if she had lifted the white cloth covering below the shoulders, if she had looked a little longer at the face covered in wounds?
Now habitually ingrained with self-reproach, she thought of the person who knew Seo Yoon better than anyone.
Despite expecting that switching the two without direct intervention from hospital personnel would have been difficult, even with money and power, she hadn’t suspected Doctor Han.
“What? The moles are in the same place? That’s surprising, I’ve never heard of such a case.”
The voice that kindly explained how to distinguish identical twins echoed in her ears.
From the time Seo Yoon entered Seowon House until that day four years ago.
Doctor Han, who periodically visited and took care of Seo Yoon, was the only outsider who could have precisely memorized her physical characteristics, including moles.
Once suspicion took root, it quickly turned into conviction.
“If Doctor Han was involved in this, then it must have been my father.”
“It could also be Chairman Tae Seok-kyu.”
“One or both. The mastermind is clear.”
His hollow laugh, mixed with self-mockery, escaped through his teeth.
Soon, Kang Hyun groaned in pain, feeling a burning sensation in his insides again.
As Seok-won quickly stood up to call the medical staff, Kang Hyun raised his arm to stop him.
“I’ll tell Director Jang, so cool your head for a bit. Do you want to go back to the operating room?”
“Why is there no news about Gu Se-jun yet?”
“I’ll ask about that too. Please lie down.”
“Do it now.”
“No.”
Seok-won firmly shook his head and pressed a switch beside the bed to straighten the mattress.
Kang Hyun’s sharp gaze fell on Seok-won, but Seok-won, unwavering, spoke firmly.
“I’ll do it tomorrow morning. If this continues, I’ll call Ji-an. Since you never listen to me, I’ll tell her to come to the hospital immediately.”
“Is that a threat?”
“It’s concern.”
Kang Hyun no longer insisted and closed his mouth.
After ensuring Kang Hyun was covered with the blanket and had closed his eyes, Seok-won turned off the light and returned to his place.
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] [Star Icon]On the morning of Kang Hyun’s discharge, Ji-an started her day busily.
First, she took a taxi to Hannam-dong, near Kang Hyun’s house, and stopped at a florist.
Following the owner’s recommendation, she picked a bouquet mixed with white lisianthus and blue delphinium. Holding the bouquet, Ji-an buried her nose among the tightly packed flowers and smiled brightly.
“It’s beautiful.”
The winter sunlight, unusually warm, cast a glow over the flowers, making them as vivid as blue paint on a white canvas.
With her heart swelling and then subsiding, Ji-an, holding the bouquet dearly, bought a small cake from a bakery in the same building complex.
Although Kang Hyun’s discharge wasn’t a huge celebration, she wanted to prepare a small gift for him, having always received from him.
Lightly stepping out of the elevator, Ji-an hummed a tune, like a kindergartner on a spring picnic.
Would anything have changed if she had lifted the white cloth covering below the shoulders, if she had looked a little longer at the face covered in wounds?

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
