Siyun, wondering how someone could refuse a lawyer and a monetary offer when signing a contract, felt a sense of responsibility to protect and keep Mijoo close.
“Yes, write here.”
Mijoo clenched and unclenched her hand, then picked up the pen to sign on the tablet, and Siyun signed after her before turning it back to her.
“Should we shake hands or hug?”
Already showing eagerness for a typical married life, Mijoo looked sympathetically at the effortful Siyun.
“Let’s just shake hands today.”
Mijoo extended her hand, but Siyun grabbed it and pulled her into a light hug.
“One year. You’re confident for one year, right?”
“Yes? Yes.”
Siyun was confident too. Confident that within a year, Mijoo would fall completely for him.
Siyun and Denny were quickly handling the remaining paperwork, while Mijoo, despite the contractual nature of their marriage, was nervous about the upcoming wedding.
‘Why am I the only one feeling excited!’
To Mijoo, Siyun seemed indifferent, just going through bureaucratic procedures.
“Where should we hold the wedding?”
Mijoo hadn’t thought about that.
“The city hall is the quickest place to get official documents, so it’s better than a church.”
“Yes? Yes.”
Mijoo felt a tinge of disappointment.
‘It’s still a wedding… My real wedding will be in the most beautiful and romantic place.’
She made a promise to herself.
Siyun just wanted all the administrative procedures to end quickly, as his grandfather was increasingly pressuring him to return home for foundation work.
And he needed to finish all the procedures to focus properly on Mijoo.
On the day of the wedding, Mijoo was worried about Siyun’s words that she didn’t need to prepare anything.
‘Even if it’s a formal wedding, I can’t go in jeans and a T-shirt.’
She worried if the city hall official would even consider her a real bride in such an outfit.
But her bigger concern was choosing a dress.
Arriving at Siyun’s house, Mijoo was surprised and confused by the three dresses hanging in the dressing room.
Without even looking at the labels, she knew they were expensive designer brands.
After much hesitation, she tried on all three dresses and finally stepped out into the living room in a tube-top dress.
“Was I just fussing all by myself?”
Expecting Siyun to be waiting, she was surprised to find no one outside the door.
Mijoo, feeling a bit silly for her expectations, checked her reflection in the mirror.
Her body line fit perfectly in the dress.
‘Did I always have such an elegant side?’
She was surprised at her own appearance.
Then, she noticed Siyun’s reflection in the mirror beside her. Mijoo turned to face him.
“When did you come?”
Siyun was dressed in a navy suit, wearing a bow tie just like the first time she saw him at the embassy.
‘I’ve seen him like this at the embassy before, but why does my heart flutter seeing him again?’
Lost for words, Mijoo stared at Siyun as he approached her.
“Did you try on the other dresses?”
“Yes.”
“I’d like to see those too.”
“Why, is it weird?”
“I’m just curious if the other two are as beautiful as this one.”
Mijoo blushed at his comment.
“The designer must have chosen well. They were all nice.”
“I chose them.”
When did he find the time to select three dresses? And how did he know her size so well to pick ones that fit perfectly?
The thought of wearing a dress selected with his careful attention made her feel pleasantly shivery.
Siyun lightly traced the line of the dress between Mijoo’s chest and neck.
As Mijoo slightly shrank away from his touch, Siyun quickly took her hand and led her to the living room.
“Come out. The staff are here.”
“What staff?”
“For makeup and hair.”
Indeed, Siyun looked as if he had already been perfected by a professional.
Mijoo felt somewhat rustic compared to the polished Siyun, despite his compliments.
In the living room, six people awaited Mijoo.
‘Why are there so many people?’
Though surprised, she tried to act naturally, considering Siyun’s position.
The hair designer constantly praised Mijoo while styling her hair.
Two assistants asked if she needed anything or wanted a drink, trying their best to lift her spirits.
It was a moment meant to be the most beautiful and happiest, so the staff poured their care into the bride.
After the hair was done, makeup staff flocked to Mijoo to start her delicate makeup.
“Our team supports Korean film crews and actors when they shoot abroad, but you’re even prettier than the actresses.”
It sounded like an exaggeration, but Mijoo found it pleasant to hear.
However, the staff’s compliment was sincere, and Siyun, watching from the side, could see it too.
Once everything was prepared, Mijoo faced a reflection of herself she had never seen before – stunningly beautiful.
And there was Siyun, looking at her with admiration in his eyes, coming closer.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
