“Madam, someone has come from Pyeongchang-dong.”
Seoyeon looked a little surprised, her eyes widening.
“Pyeongchang-dong?”
There had been many calls and messages from her birth family, but it was the first time someone had been sent.
Seoyeon hesitated with a somewhat awkward expression but nodded.
“Please open it.”
The man who visited was the driver and secretary who worked for her brother. In his hands, he held something neatly packaged with high-quality wrapping. As soon as he entered through the door, he bowed to greet Seoyeon and walked straight to the dining room, placing it on the table.
“What’s this?”
“Madam of Pyeongchang-dong hopes you enjoy it.”
After leaving a brief statement, the man bowed again and stepped back.
“Oh, how beautiful.”
Latecomer helper following Seoyeon expressed admiration. The helper, who added a remark that a single meal would easily exceed tens of thousands of won, envied Seoyeon.
“It seems like Madam from Pyeongchang-dong thinks a lot about our Madam. She sent only things good for the body.”
Seoyeon smiled silently. After a while, alone in the dining room, Seoyeon sat on a dining chair. She stared at the lunchbox, lost in thought.
When Seoyeon was young, she grew up receiving immeasurable love from her parents and brother.
Although her father was strict about the siblings’ education, he was always kind in other matters, and her mother, even with her father’s minor nagging, always stood by Seoyeon’s side, showing signs of discomfort towards her father whenever he seemed displeased with Seoyeon.
Her brother, despite the age difference, affectionately stroked her head whenever he found an opportunity, carrying her around whenever he could.
It was a time of happiness like a dream.
The family members who were so special to Seoyeon began to change when she entered middle school.
If someone were to ask her how things had changed, Seoyeon couldn’t explain in detail.
All the gentle atmospheres surrounding her subtly changed.
Her father’s gaze, which used to warmly watch over Seoyeon, became more indifferent, and her mother, who always sided with her no matter what happened, was no longer unconditionally on her side. Her brother, who had promised to protect her for a lifetime, no longer patted her head or embraced her lovingly.
Seoyeon felt like she was abandoned on a deserted island.
It was a barren wasteland without the love of her family and the sunlight to melt her loneliness.
Whenever she felt lonely, she endured by recalling the happy and gentle past. Paradoxically, each time she did so, her sadness deepened.
Once, unable to bear it, she clung to Junghyuk’s arm and asked.
“Why did things suddenly change?”
“What are you talking about? Change?”
“I know too. My brother doesn’t like me anymore now, does he? Have I become unpleasant? Why? Why did I suddenly become unlikable?”
“…”
“What should I do?”
“Just do well.”
“If I do well?”
“That’s right.”
“How do I do that?”
“Become a helpful and excellent person to the family. Then, won’t your parents look at you again?”
“…”
“Do well, Seoyeon. Simple, isn’t it?”
Seoyeon pondered that day, taking Junghyuk’s advice to heart. Perhaps, if she did well, she could return to the happy past.
A model student.
That was the expression used for Seoyeon by those around her. Whenever she felt the desire to go back to the happy moments of the past, she exerted even more self-control, patience, and efforts to become a necessary member for her family.
So, when her mother suggested a matchmaking meeting, Seoyeon readily agreed.
At that moment, a sound of footsteps behind Seoyeon was heard. Turning around, the maid, who had finished cleaning and returned, asked with a puzzled expression,
“Haven’t you eaten yet? It might not taste good when cold… Shall I warm it up for you?”
“No, it’s okay. You can leave now. I’ll take care of the rest.”
However, even after the maid left, Seoyeon couldn’t bring herself to touch the lunchbox. She couldn’t fathom the motive behind her mother sending her lunch.
While thinking that it was just a meal and there was no need to read into it, her hands refused to move. Melancholy thoughts kept creeping in.
In her previous life, Seoyeon had no mental space and lived fiercely, never even thinking about wanting to cry.
She considered crying a luxury. Enduring it for so long, she eventually reached a point where tears wouldn’t come out. Sometimes, she felt like a dried-up monster, unable to cry even when she wanted to.
“Maybe now it’s okay…”
Suddenly, such a thought crossed her mind. After all, there was no one in this house, and sad things hadn’t happened yet.
“Maybe it’s okay to cry.”
As soon as she had that thought, Seoyeon’s eyes reddened.
“Sob…”
Tears flowed down her white cheeks without a chance to dry. A presence behind her back was felt.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
