Because of him, everything about her felt scattered and disarrayed. Even though she was so shaken, she didn’t dislike the man. Even though the sudden kiss was enough to invoke a sense of humiliation, she couldn’t feel such emotions at all. No, rather, her body was tingling from the lingering heat that hadn’t disappeared yet.
Nevertheless, the man, with an utterly unruffled voice, released her after ending the kiss and instructing her to go up. Despite the greatly disheveled appearance of Tae-eun, as if this amusement meant nothing to him, his too serene voice was somewhat resentful.
Tae-eun struggled to move her trembling legs and managed to crawl into bed.
Although her body could shiver from the coolness of the bed, her body was still hot enough not to feel any cold.
The traces the man left in that brief moment were quite intense.
It seemed like it would be a long night.
The next day.
The main building of Jangwon, where Chairman Jung was staying, was noisy from the morning. It was because there were three women with nothing to do, gathering due to it being the weekend.
“Unni, did you hear that Wujin saw someone? And it’s an unbelievable woman.”
As if dumbfounded, the second sister, Yeong-hee, opened her mouth first. Acting as if it was an unimaginable event, she didn’t hesitate to shake her head.
“Did he see her? Wujin? With Go Ji-hye?”
“No, not Go Ji-hye. If it were Go Ji-hye, would I express her as an unbelievable woman?”
“Then who?”
“Really an unbelievably unreasonable girl. She just popped out of nowhere and took that place.”
“What’s going on? What kind of person did Wujin find in the profiles handed over, excluding Go Ji-hye?”
“Well, her father is a lawyer or something. What was her name?”
Except for Go Ji-hye from the profiles handed over, which were nothing more than potential candidates, Yeong-hee didn’t pay careful attention, so her memory was vague.
“Don’t worry too much. Just because he saw her once. Would he even marry her?”
“I thought so too. At least until I saw her picture.”
“Picture? What picture?”
Yeong-hee pulled out her phone and presented it to Yeong-suk, as if she didn’t need to see it. Instead, Yeong-ja, who was next to her, firmly cut in.
“Marrying someone after seeing them once? Seeing someone is just a process until you find the right match.”
“Unni, I thought the same way. But look at the person’s profile. Her facial features are exquisitely elegant, and the atmosphere is really mysterious. Do you know her by any chance? Do you think Wujin might be captivated by her and end up marrying her?”
Although Yeong-hee extended her phone, Yeong-ja paid no attention, confidently expressing her opinion. On the other hand, Yeong-suk, next to her, looked at the phone again, even zooming in, to assess the face.
“Unni, don’t worry too much. Nowadays, young people not only undergo plastic surgery on their faces but also extensively edit photos with Photoshop, so they look completely different from their real selves! This photo must have been the same. Just wait and see. The reality won’t even come close to the photo.”
“I hope so. That way, our sister Yeong-ja won’t feel unjust. She didn’t raise Wujin so carefully just to give him away to a girl like this.”
Yeong-hee was still overwhelmed with worry. At that moment, Chairman Jung entered the reception room and sternly commented.
“Tsk tsk. Why would Yeong-ja feel unjust! I’ve always said that parents have no winning chance against their children. It’s the parents’ position to accept whatever child they’ve brought into the world, especially if the child is good. And you guys, how can you oppose someone without even seeing them?”
“Mom! It’s obvious even without seeing! So, Mom, are you determined to accept a girl from this household as a daughter-in-law if Wujin wants it? Isn’t our Wujin worth it? No, with that person, with that wealth, with that ability. What’s missing?”
“What’s missing?”
“What is it?”
“The eyes to see a woman.”
Although Chairman Jung’s blunt expression surprised the three, they didn’t strongly disagree. If they thought about the women who had passed by without being noticed, besides Bak Seo-woo, they could empathize.
With nothing to say for a moment, Yeong-hee quietly looked at the phone photo. However, the more she looked at the photo, the more her anxiety grew due to the strange feeling that captivated her gaze. Although she expected that not everyone would be like that, if by any chance Wujin was captivated by this woman and decided to marry her, it would be truly distressing.
Because if Wujin didn’t have enough value, he wouldn’t have chosen such a woman as his first match. He hated wasting time even if he died and woke up, and he was the type to carefully choose and decide on his first opponent. So, it was impossible to easily ignore the fact that the woman’s profile was utterly useless.
No, it wouldn’t work. She had to firmly warn in advance that such a woman wouldn’t do.
When Yeong-hee got up from her seat, Yeong-suk asked, “Unni, where are you going without even finishing your tea?”
“To Wujin.”
“Why to Wujin?”
“You know, I have a really good feeling. You guys hit Bak Seo-woo with your feelings and took care of him when he was fooling around. I can’t help but be uneasy. I have to go and make sure.”
As Yeong-hee left the reception room, Yeong-suk asked, “Unni, why would you go to Wujin?”
“Do you know? I have a very good feeling. If the child is good, there’s nothing parents can do about it. And haven’t you guys opposed someone before even seeing them?”
Chairman Jung seemed to think that Yeong-hee had a premonition as her tongue made a faint sound. However, Yeong-hee paid no attention and left the main building. To reach the detached house where Wujin lived, it would take about 10 minutes on foot, but she willingly accepted it.
Yeong-hee usually had an unusually good premonition. Despite being perfect, whenever her husband was cheating, she caught him with just a feeling. She had such an excellent premonition that even top shamans would be envious.
But now, that premonition was tingling. Moreover, it was ringing loudly, as if a warning siren was going off in her head. She felt an eerie energy, so strange that it made the back of her neck chilly.
There wasn’t a single housekeeper. Normally, at this time, they would be bustling around, cleaning and doing what needed to be done, but truly not a single person was in sight.
“What’s this? Did everyone get tired and quit?”
The silent stillness, where no sign of human activity could be felt, only deepened her uneasiness.
Looking around and confirming that there really wasn’t a single person, Yeong-hee made a call to Wujin on her phone and moved her steps to the second floor. Even though he was her nephew, she couldn’t just enter his room without notice; therefore, she decided to wake him up with a phone call.
Climbing the stairs, she heard signs of activity from the second floor. Thinking Wujin might have woken up, she raised her gaze, only to witness an unbelievable sight.
A single flower, fluttering in the wind, gracefully standing at the end of the stairs—a woman.
“Wh…o are you?”
Surprise flashed across the makeup-free face. Instinctively, Yeong-hee could sense that the woman was equally surprised.
Did Wujin bring this woman? Although he had never brought a woman home before, the idea of a healthy young man bringing a woman home for a night was not completely out of the question.
Soon, Yeong-hee realized. The face was incredibly familiar.
Undoubtedly, it was the woman from the photo. The one Yeong-suk confidently claimed would not compare to the photo in real life, boasting that plastic surgery and Photoshop had undoubtedly made her look better!
However, this time, unfortunately for Yeong-suk, she was wrong.
The woman was three-dimensional in a way that couldn’t be compared to the photo. It was fascinating to see such a gentle and beautiful figure in motion.
And the appearance of such a woman seemed to be an ominous prelude for them.
“Wujin-ah—aaaah!”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village.

However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
