In a sullen mood, she had drank. And when that drink turned into two, and three, everything had become like a blank sheet of paper as if erased by an eraser.
More importantly, the biggest question was why she fell asleep in this man’s room, and why she was lying side by side with him on the same bed.
“I’m really going crazy.”
Eun Jae, murmuring in a voice only she could hear, felt her body under the blanket.
Fortunately, it seemed like she was fully dressed, and she let out a sigh of relief unknowingly.
‘Nothing happened, right? Really, Eun Jae, let’s die.’
She let out a deep sigh, thinking about how to get out of this situation. Just when Sun Woo suddenly turned over, Eun Jae was startled and closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep.
“So, you thought you knew what kind of thing I would do, so you put a man next to you?”
Sun Woo’s voice was full of playfulness. However, Eun Jae didn’t notice it. The awkward situation and the too close voice of the man only made her body stiffen.
Was it possible for the voice that just woke up to be so deep?
She had vaguely thought about the man. She had imagined that this man would be cool even when he just woke up in the morning.
It was exactly like what she had imagined. The problem was that it was more cool than she had imagined.
“I know you’re not sleeping.”
Eun Jae, feeling resigned as he teased her by tapping her shoulder with his finger, took a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
And then, she found herself looking into the eyes of Sun Woo, who was lying next to her. She quickly turned her head and fixed her gaze on the ceiling.
“No, I mean, I just woke up, okay?”
Stuttering, with her eyes that had nowhere to go.
She was indeed flustered, of course. Sun Woo, who had looked at her as if she was adorable and laughed with a snicker, leaned his arm on the back of his neck and replied.
“So you say.”
“I, I’m serious? I was just about to get up, you know?”
At Sun Woo’s words, Eun Jae denied it more vigorously. Yet, Sun Woo replied skeptically as if he could not believe it.
Perhaps feeling it was no use, Eun Jae flung the blanket aside and jumped out of bed. She casually ran her fingers through her tousled hair.
Then, she locked eyes with Sun Woo, who was leaning seductively against the head of the bed, dressed in a shirt with buttons undone down to his chest, and even the movement of her hand brushing her hair stopped in its tracks.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
At Sun Woo’s words, Eun Jae’s cheeks turned beet red.
It was now a reflex. Eun Jae, not wanting her flushed face to be noticed, quickly averted Sun Woo’s gaze and responded.
Why is he unbuttoning his shirt? He always says he’s busy, but his body is great.
“No…… It seemed like you’ve completely let yourself go. Well, not that it matters.”
“You should do it too.”
“No, I’m fine.”
While Eun Jae waved her hands and laughed awkwardly, Sun Woo slowly got up from the bed and in a few steps, came close to Eun Jae.
Strength filled the fist clenched around her thigh. The man who seemed close enough to touch whispered.
“Why, you did just fine yesterday.”
“Pardon?”
“What?”
“Hey, no way. Me?”
As Eun Jae widened her eyes as if she was hearing it for the first time, Sun Woo took a step back, seemingly not satisfied with her answer. The tilted man looked at Eun Jae with eyes filled with discomfort.
Startled by that look, Eun Jae asked again.
“I, is that true? Did I speak informally to you yesterday?”
“Don’t you remember?”
“Not at all……”
“Not at all……”
Sun Woo’s expression, as if dumbfounded, chewed over what Eun Jae said again.
“Such a nasty drinking habit.”
“……”
“If you don’t remember, that’s the end of it.”
The man’s expression hardened. Was it more strange to say that nothing had happened, when a physically healthy adult man and woman had been asleep in the same room?
No, that would never happen. Especially not with that person, who saw me as nothing more than a contractor, and certainly nothing less!
Barely managing to rein in her consciousness which kept veering in strange directions, Eun Jae swept back her bangs, quickly folding up her impure thoughts.
Sun Woo, who had once again closed the distance, lowered his lips to Eun Jae’s ear.
“Or maybe, I didn’t suit Ji Eun Jae’s taste?”

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
