The warm spring sunlight pouring in through the car window spilled over Eun Jae’s face. After driving for quite a while, the man’s car smoothly stopped in front of a grand mansion.
The gate, made of black bars that seemed to be well over three meters high, was adorned with red rose vines blooming brightly. Behind the barred gate, a large garden and welllandscaped trees were visible.
The gate seemed like the entrance to another world. To Eun Jae, the gate felt so huge that just looking at it seemed to make her dizzy.
In the car, Eun Jae kept reciting the words that the man had said all this time, so as not to forget them.
“My grandfather is very quickwitted. He reads even subtle emotions well. If you act foolishly, you’ll be caught.”
“There is another quickwitted one… Try not to engage in conversation as much as possible. Save your words whenever and wherever.”
With a small device in the man’s hand, the fortresslike gate opened up smoothly. The car brushed past the large garden and headed for the underground.
The underground was a parking lot. Besides the car that Sun Woo had parked, there were three more vehicles. Sun Woo looked around as if searching for someone’s car and then got out.
“Has he not arrived yet?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“No, it’s nothing. This way.”
Sun Woo led Eun Jae to a large glass door located in the underground parking lot. That glass door led to the mansion’s entrance. Once the glass door was opened and they ascended, the garden they had seen from the car unfolded before their eyes.
Thinking that she was soon going to meet the man’s parents, it felt like her face was flushing. She kept breaking into a cold sweat.
Despite taking calming pills because she was too nervous, once she reached the entrance, all her efforts were in vain. Her heart raced like crazy.
Eun Jae held Sun Woo’s wrist that was about to press the bell, stopping him.
“Um, sir, just five minutes please…”
“Are you going to call me ‘sir’ even after we go in?”
At her unintended words, Sun Woo furrowed his brows.
Actually, ever since coming here, the word ‘sir’ had been slipping out of her mouth due to the tension. Every time Eun Jae did this, the man seemed very anxious.
“I’m sorry. My heart is beating so fast. This is my first time in such a situation, ah… what should I do for real?”
“Who says it’s not their first time?”
Whether it was because Eun Jae was so unusual or Sun Woo was nervous in his own way, it didn’t show as he was overshadowed by Eun Jae. Sun Woo grabbed Eun Jae’s shoulders, who was taking deep breaths and clutching her chest, and pulled her toward him.
“Look at me.”
Sun Woo slowly made eye contact with Eun Jae.
It was the same when she first met him. He looked at her like this and reassured her that it was okay.
“There’s no need to be nervous, I will handle everything.”
There wouldn’t be any problems.
So, trust me.
It seemed as if Sun Woo’s gaze was telling her that.
Eun Jae looked at Sun Woo and slowly nodded as if to say she understood. As if on cue, a sense of calm washed over her.
“Can we go in now?”
“Yes!”
At the man’s words asking for her consent, Eun Jae seemed to firmly make up her mind and took a step forward.
Seeing her, Sun Woo naturally moved closer behind her. The warm and soft hand of the man gently rested on Eun Jae’s shoulder.
Eun Jae barely managed to lift her trembling lips.
The man’s hand moving towards the doorbell played out like slow motion in her vision. The sound of the doorbell was heard, and the front door opened wide.
The first to greet Eun Jae was the lady of the house. She laid out a string of flattering compliments for Eun Jae, saying that she couldn’t properly greet her last time as there were no formalities.
The lady of the house, after speaking at length, finally showed Eun Jae and Sun Woo to the dining room, shaking her head as if to check her sanity.
In the dining room, Sun Woo’s mother Eun Jung, and his stepmother, Su In, were seated.
“Hello. Nice to meet you for the first time. I am Ji Eun Jae.”
“My goodness, you are so beautiful. Come here and sit down.”
Eun Jung, who had greeted Eun Jae before Sun Woo, couldn’t take her eyes off Eun Jae. She was fascinated by her petite face where all the features were in their rightful places.
She was more beautiful than she had expected, and it was surprising. Eun Jung squinted her slender eyes and stared at Sun Woo who was standing idly.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Even as Sun Woo spoke to Eun Jung, he pulled out a chair as if it were second nature, gently pushed Eun Jae’s shoulder to make her sit, and naturally took his place next to her.
“Do you also have high standards like your father?”
Sun Woo, who immediately understood what she meant, chuckled.
“Where is my father?”
“He’s in the garden with your grandfather. They’ll be here soon.”
As a brief silence ensued, Eun Jae, who thought she had missed a beat, took the shopping bag that Sun Woo was holding and placed it on the table.
“Here, I heard you like herbal tea.”
Eun Jae handed the shopping bags to Eun Jung and Su In, respectively.
“Oh my, did our Sun Woo tell you that?”
Eun Jae looked at Sun Woo discreetly with a smile. Sun Woo gave her a reassuring smile, as if to say she was doing well.
She thought it was a relief.
So far, the conversation had flowed like the script the man had created. They had agreed to drop the formalities as the man’s tone was too stiff during their practice.
Su In, who had been watching Sun Woo intently, popped a blueberry into her mouth and asked.
“You said you didn’t have a lady in your life just last month. How did you two meet?”
“I wanted to tell you this cautiously. Eun Jae’s mother is in Yeonrim Hospital. We met as her caregivers.”
“Oh ho! That’s quite romantic.”
Su In, who had been echoing Sun Woo’s words, suddenly picked up a blueberry with a deeply troubled expression.
“I wonder when our Tae Kyu will bring his girlfriend. He seems to have one, but he never introduces her.”
At the familiar name, Eun Jae flinched. It was because she had heard his name unexpectedly in a place, and it wasn’t a very common name.
Before coming here, Sun Woo had earnestly asked Eun Jae to be careful about his sharpwitted cousin.
So, it was that person.
Tae Kyu…..
Since he’s a stepfather, he must be a Yoon… So, Yoon Tae Kyu. Yoon Tae Kyu?
Suddenly, Eun Jae’s mind went blank, and she gulped down the water in front of her.
No way, it couldn’t be.
Observing Eun Jae suddenly behaving restlessly, Sun Woo quietly asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no, nothing. I just need to use the bathroom for a moment.”
As she whispered, asking Sun Woo where to go, the lady of the house, who was standing behind, offered to guide Eun Jae instead.
Entering the bathroom she was guided to, Eun Jae took deep breaths.
“No, it can’t be. Is there only one person named Yoon Tae Kyu among 50 million citizens?”
Ji Eun Jae, get a grip.
She slapped her cheeks a couple of times with the palm of her hand wet with cold water. She took a deep breath, and just as Eun Jae, who had barely regained her composure, opened the bathroom door.
Seeing the man in front of her, all the resolutions she had made earlier seemed to crumble away.
The surprise was not only on her side. The man standing in front of her was staring at Eun Jae with a stunned expression as well.
“Why are you coming out of there?”
Eun Jae tried to pull the door handle she was holding to close the door. However, Tae Kyu was quicker. He pushed the door open in an instant, came into the bathroom, and grabbed Eun Jae’s wrist.
“What are you doing? Why are you here?”
“……”
Seeing the aimlessly wandering eyes that could not say anything, Tae Kyu mentioned the thing he did not want to think about.
“Don’t tell me.”
Tae Kyu’s lips twisted without mercy.
“The person you’re marrying is Yoon Sun Woo?”

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…?
