Perhaps because she had attended the party several times, Yoon now seemed quite natural.
“You look so beautiful.”
Yoon knew it was just a polite greeting, but she still felt awkward receiving such praise.
“Congratulations on winning the White Bear Film Festival Director’s Award, although it’s a bit late.”
Yoon offered a sincere congratulations. ‘Vampire Doctor’ was a horror film she wouldn’t have watched if Kanghyun hadn’t been in it, but throughout the movie, she found herself appreciating its artistic value.
Kanghyun’s acting was consistently monotonous, but it was a work that covered up the monotony with artistic integrity and acting skills. She thought it was worthy of winning the Best New Director award.
People found it difficult to approach Kanghyun because of his somewhat arrogant and standoffish image, but with Yoon by his side, that aspect was greatly mitigated.
People were increasingly fascinated by Yoon, who was kind, courteous, and graceful.
“Aren’t you too popular?”
Anyone wanted to greet her.
“Because I’m Mr. Kanghyun’s wife.”
“Even humble.”
In the past, Kanghyun had been afraid of others finding out about Yoon’s loveliness. But now that he knew Yoon loved him, Kanghyun was no longer anxious.
“Tell me you love me.”
Still, he wanted reassurance from time to time.
“Here?”
Yoon’s eyes widened.
“Yeah, right now.”
Yoon hesitated for a moment, glancing around at the people, then whispered softly.
“Just bow down for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Kanghyun brought his ear close.
“I love you.”
After saying it, Yoon blushed, feeling awkward.
But Kanghyun, very satisfied unlike Yoon, kissed her cheek, leaving Yoon unsure of what to do.
“People are watching.”
“I told you to watch. Can’t I kiss my wife’s cheek?”
People looked at the two of them with envy and cheers for the obviously in-love couple.
After the party, the two went to the hotel. It was a suite that Kanghyun had reserved in advance. The living room had a wide window overlooking the ocean, known for its ocean view.
“Wow, it feels like we’re floating on the sea here.”
Yoon exclaimed while looking down at the sea through the living room window. Kanghyun came closer and hugged Yoon from behind.
“But winter nights on the sea feel somehow lonely.”
The dimly lit sea exuded a sense of quietude.
“When night falls, everything feels a bit different. But this dress is pretty, isn’t it?”
Kanghyun scanned her body.
“You said you didn’t like it because it dug into your back earlier.”
“Now I like it. Because it digs into my back.”
Kanghyun’s gaze suddenly became intense. Yoon suddenly felt a shiver down her spine.
“…I want to take a shower.”
Yoon, worried that Kanghyun might tear the dress, gently pushed him away.
“Let’s wait a bit and then shower. Enjoy the moment a bit.”
Without caring, Kanghyun embraced Yoon again and kissed her on the nape of her white neck.
“Just enjoy it after you shower.”
“Are you going to make me wear this dress again?”
“Huh? Did I say we came here to appreciate the sea?”
Kanghyun playfully stuck out his tongue with a mischievous expression, and that playful look seemed more than just a joke, making Yoon’s gaze waver slightly.
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…”

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…
