He handed her an envelope containing fifty million won and opened his dry lips.
“Our son left this for you.”
Hae Joo’s swollen vision blurred.
She felt pitiful for herself, having become the wife of a dead man, and he was pitiful for leaving the world at a young age.
She didn’t know what to say.
Choked with emotion, Hae Joo could only swallow her tears as President Park admonished her.
“Take this money and leave immediately.”
“Pardon?”
“Your mother is a bad person. She’s a devil who sold her daughter for money.”
Hae Joo was naturally delicate and lovely. When she closed her full lips, a radiant light shone.
She would have been loved if she had met proper parents.
“Take it quickly.”
The son, who was sick, had asked his father to take care of Hae Joo before he died.
How could Hae Joo know? Despite his apprehensions, President Park had investigated Hae Joo. Sadly, she was enduring harsh days, her life held hostage by Kyung Ae.
While President Park was perplexed, Kyung Ae suddenly appeared.
‘Are you looking for a woman to marry your eldest son?’
Chairman Park angrily chased away Gyeongae after expressing his disdain. After that, he persistently came looking for him, stating that he had no ability to pay off his debt.
Upon hearing of this, his son declared.
‘I will marry that girl.’
Chairman Park, who had suggested finding another way, could not forgive Gyeongae, who had sent away Hae Joo in the end.
On the day Hae Joo visited the office, she seemed to have given up on everything. She looked exhausted, and there was no will to live to be found. Hae Joo seemed to sense that she could be sold off at any moment, even without this marriage.
Chairman Park’s heart ached even though she was not his biological daughter. He even thought it would have been better if Hae Joo had been born as his daughter.
If Hae Joo could not escape from that hell without marriage, he had no choice but to accept.
Chairman Park was also merely a sinner who had a heartless son who had left the world too early.
He hoped that Hae Joo, who had experienced a short marriage of 15 days and unspeakable pain, would now abandon everything, leave, and start anew.
Chairman Park, filled with pity, turned away.
Following his advice, Hae Joo left the house the next day and cut off contact.
“Miss Hae Joo, this is a clear breach of contract.”
Hae Joo, while working as a salesperson at a clothing store, was cast at GN Entertainment. She received attention for appearing in a work of Director Jang, who is known for showing the best miseenscène from the very first film.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly. That is, until rumors of Hae Joo’s previous marriage began to circulate.
“Miss Hae Joo, tell me honestly. Were you married?”
“There were circumstances.”
Hae Joo confessed her story about cutting off contact with her mother three years ago, and being sold off like a debt to be paid, resulting in her marriage.
Euijin, the director, had a headache at this unexpected fact.
He questioned if this was a rather fatal scandal for a rookie actress with a pure image.
“How did the rumor start if the man is dead?”
“I don’t understand either.”
Who started the rumor was being traced by the police.
Current internet public opinion was already shocked just by the fact that Hae Joo had been married.
“Don’t worry about that, let’s check the documents first.”
Hae Joo had never opened her marriage certificate. Just the fact that there was evidence of her marriage was a deep wound.
And that wasn’t all. Fearing Gyeongae might come looking for her, she couldn’t work parttime jobs that offer four major insurances. She was always moving from one goshiwon to another because she had no security deposit when looking for a house.
Then a boss she once worked with contacted her, saying he opened a new store.
‘Miss Hae Joo, I’ll take care of your salary, just do your job well.’
In the meantime, Hae Joo became an actress. Jinhan’s role was significant, who consistently approached her despite repeated rejections and instilled faith in her.
It was only recently after signing a contract with her agency that she needed documents necessary for the calculation of movie appearance fees.
Just when I thought I was becoming numb to the past, a massive bomb exploded.
Hae Joo got a marriage certificate right in front of the agency people. She had desperately hoped it wasn’t true, but she was struck dumb.
“How did this happen?”
The name of a man named Park Do Jun was registered as Hae Joo’s husband.
He was not dead and existed officially on paper.
“Hae Joo, do you know this man?”
“I only know dead people. And this person, while sharing the same name…”
“So you’re saying you don’t know him?”
“Yes.”
“Find this man and meet him.”
“What should I do?”
Jin Han was especially fond of Hae Joo.
His affection for her was exceptional, as he was the one who had cast her.
His mind quickly began working out a way to resolve the situation.
“Listen well. This man was the humble husband who stuck with you during your unknown days.”
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.]
