In the hotel room, Sejin, who hadn’t been able to relax, wondered who had unearthed the hidden incidents. The people who knew were the involved women, Ju Hye-rim, the assigned lawyer, and Jinwoo.
Except for the involved parties, everyone else was affiliated with IF Management, so there was no reason for them to spit on their faces.
However, it wasn’t plausible for the victims to come forward now and spread it in the media. They had received money in exchange for their silence.
While speculating on various possibilities, Sejin thought of Baek Ihyun, who was eerily scrutinizing her. If he distorted Yura’s company affairs, he would still be a significant figure.
“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? The only person who could pull off such a scheme is that guy.”
Sejin was convinced of Baek Ihyun’s cunning. Baek Ihyun had been a person who had threatened her with eyes full of life a long time ago.
It was a day when Sejin and Yura were enjoying happiness.
Sejin immediately recognized the presence of a stranger in the practice room. The person who looked eerily similar to Yura was none other than Jin Yugeon, Yura’s older brother.
Sitting in a quiet cafe, Yugeon calmly said with a melancholy expression, “Tie up your loose ends around here. On the day father finds out, you’ll be expelled from this industry. This is a message for your sake.”
It wasn’t a long conversation, and the monotonous sentence wasn’t particularly threatening. After delivering that one message, Jin Yugeon turned away with a bitter face.
Yura had described Yugeon as inconsistent, annoyingly gentle, but always worrying about her precious brother.
In Sejin’s eyes, Yugeon appeared as a man with the tolerance and generosity that coexisted with the serenity of someone who had everything. That, in turn, distorted Sejin’s perception.
Despite coming from a completely different background, Yugeon’s non-arrogant and thoughtful appearance evoked both envy and a sense of inferiority in Sejin.
“Ugh, a guy like a saint.”
His limited personality seemed pathetic for leading such a big company. If he could skillfully manipulate such a disposition, it seemed like he could pave the way for his firm future.
Therefore, there was no reason to let go of Jin Yura. Reminded of his own grand ambitions, another voice echoed.
“Jin Yugeon is quite gentle.”
“W-who?”
With suspicion-filled eyes, Sejin looked at the appearance of a strange man. Because he knew Jin Yugeon, whom he had just encountered, anxiety surged like a thief who had been caught. It was also because of the ominous atmosphere emanating from the other person.
With skin as white as a woman’s and large eyes, it seemed like he might be timid. Despite having somewhat tanned skin and well-defined facial features, Jin Yugeon, who should have been intimidating, was unexpectedly overwhelming in his saint-like appearance.
“Me? I’m Jin Yugeon’s friend.”
The smiling face was eerie enough to remind Sejin of a snake rather than a white fox.
“Well, do you have something to say to me?”
“I’m not a particularly gentle person, and I don’t like beating around the bush.”
“Pardon?”
Sejin couldn’t understand the casually spoken words. Why was he being so grandiose and cryptic? Although he was smiling, there was a strangeness that didn’t seem like a genuine smile, sending shivers down her spine.
At that moment, just as the lights were flickering, the man who had approached in an instant exuded a chilling coldness that made Sejin shiver.
“If you want to save your life, leave this country. If you wish, I’ll cover the cost of your study abroad.”
Despite the oppressive feeling that made it difficult to breathe, Sejin shouted in refusal.
“Who are you to tell me to leave?”
The tilted gaze was sharp and piercing. It pressed heavily on Sejin, far more oppressive than Jin Yugeon.
“Do you think I don’t know your intentions?”
“What…?”
“You intervened in Jin Yura’s background. With that level of background, you should feel secure about your future as a pianist.”
At the man’s words, Sejin’s mind went blank. How could he have known desires no one else knew?
Looking at him again, Sejin once again thought of a snake. Silently approaching, it felt as if it would strangle her with coldness from head to toe.
But she couldn’t easily retreat. No matter how much effort she had put in, she couldn’t give up on Yura, the golden goose that hadn’t borne fruit yet. Despite trembling, Sejin staunchly refuted his words. No, she tried to.
“I lo…ve Yura…”
Contrary to his appearance, a hand with tremendous strength grabbed Sejin’s throat.
Under the intense pressure that felt like bones would break, Sejin’s face turned pale. And the man in front of her chewed up threats that seemed far from empty, cruel, and brutal.
“Before I break every finger that worships you like a god, get rid of that dog-like talk.”
“Ugh!”
“I’m not advising. I’m ordering. I’ll support you as much as you need, so get lost. Don’t end up being chased away like a beggar.”
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…?
