Hyun Seo laughed with a face that hadn’t dried from tears. Crying and laughing, she asked with a hoarse voice.
“When did you prepare the ring? What if I had refused….”
Yet, Do Ha responded with a relaxed smile on his lips.
“You’re not going to refuse…”
Hyun Seo mumbled with her lips that became more swollen as she wiped the overflowing tears.
“You’re terrible, really… then and now…”
She couldn’t deny it because it was true, albeit unpleasant.
The young Do Ha from his impoverished days had seemed quite arrogant, and now as an adult Do Ha, who had become the successor of a true conglomerate, seemed to be filled with even more confidence in Hyun Seo’s eyes.
She had always been confident in front of anyone, but she always felt small in front of him. It was the same when they met again.
But today, she was just happy. Because he had proposed. Because it was the happiest day of her life.
“Put the ring on…”
Hyun Seo responded with a choked voice. Do Ha grabbed Hyun Seo’s left hand with a brighter smile than before and slipped the ring onto her fourth finger.
Hyun Seo stared at Do Ha’s smiling face as if she were in a daze. It felt like a dream to see him, who usually didn’t smile much, seeming happy at her acceptance.
How could such a day come for me?
Hyun Seo held her hand up to her eyes and stared at the ring on her finger with a flustered expression.
But was it really okay to be this happy?
His mother was Young Suk. Considering the image of Young Suk who hadn’t even recognized her kindness, she worried about how probable this marriage could be realized.
“Does your mother… not oppose it much?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Do Ha responded lightly. However, it seemed that he hadn’t resolved Young Suk’s opposition, as he didn’t deny it.
“As long as you follow me to the end, this marriage will eventually come to fruition.”
“Could that be possible?”
“This is just in case. Even if you face obstacles without me around, I hope you don’t waver.”
“I understand.”
Hyun Seo answered without hesitation. There was nothing she couldn’t endure now that she had the chance to be by Do Ha’s side for the rest of her life.
“I won’t succumb to any obstacles.”
Do Ha looked satisfied at Hyun Seo’s firm response.
The day she was proposed to, Hyun Seo went home and announced that she would marry Do Ha, and Hye Su, who was as surprised as Hyun Seo, soon showed tremendous worry.
“I’m… I’m really worried, Hyun Seo. I don’t think this is right.”
“Mother, you know better than anyone how much I liked Do Ha.”
“Am I saying this because I dislike Do Ha?”
For several days, Hye Su vehemently objected and tried to dissuade her, but a few days later, Do Ha came to see Hye Su to formally get approval for their marriage.
“Please let me call you mother now.”
Seeing Do Ha after a long time, Hye Su’s heart had become incredibly soft. The image of the boy next door had disappeared, and instead, a reliable man had come to ask for her daughter’s hand in marriage, which felt strange.
“He said that if he marries Hyun Seo, he becomes family.”
Moreover, wasn’t it her who had halfjokingly made such a comment to Do Ha?
How could she more harshly reject Do Ha, who had appeared, still harboring his wish to become family with her even when he now had everything he could want without envy?
In retrospect, he had both biological mother and father, yet he grew up lonely. A selfish mother who neglected him and a father whose face he didn’t know until he became an adult, neither could be said to have raised him normally.
On top of that, it was difficult to share a normal sibling bond with his troublesome younger sibling, whom he rarely met when he was young.
His family seemed to lack nothing, but he couldn’t help but feel a deficiency. Hye Su was the one who observed all of this from the sidelines.
She thought he was living well after leaving for a rich family’s home, and she thought there would be nothing to regret by now, but he couldn’t forget this house and came back.
“Do Ha. Then, can you make our Hyun Seo happy?”
“Yes, I will strive for it all my life.”
“No matter what happens, you must always be on Hyun Seo’s side.”
“Of course. You don’t need to worry.”
She was a person who had lost her husband early and lived only looking at her only daughter. Do Ha was well aware of her affectionate heart.
“Someday I’ll leave this world before you. Even then, you must never let go of our Hyun Seo’s hand for your entire life.”
“Why are you saying such things already.”
“Promise me, Do Ha.”
“I promise.”
And as Hyun Seo had predicted, not long after, Young Suk secretly visited Hyun Seo’s house and turned the two of them upside down again.
However, as she had promised Do Ha, Hyun Seo persevered, and Do Ha was able to introduce her to Chairman Chae.
Young Suk, sitting next to Chairman Chae, only gave a gentle smile with an unusually docile appearance, which gave Hyun Seo the creeps.
There were no shortage of storms until Hye Su met Chairman Chae and Young Suk at the premarital meeting, but Hyun Seo didn’t show any of it to Do Ha.
Right after the premarital meeting ended in a smooth atmosphere, Hyun Seo rather said this to Do Ha.
“Brother. Even though mother may not welcome me, I will definitely become close with her. Now, your parents are my parents too, aren’t they?”
Instead of saying thanks, Do Ha quietly embraced her. Even though he was now her future husband, there was little physical affection between them, so Hyun Seo’s heart fluttered.
He wasn’t sure if his choice to choose her was based on feelings of love. However, he had been so lonely that he had passed over many good marriage prospects, and she wanted to be a comfort to him.
If she made an effort to show her sincerity by loving him and his family, wouldn’t he someday come to love her too?
“Brother. You know that I love you, right?”
“Yeah……”
At that time, Do Ha cupped Hyun Seo’s cheek with both hands and kissed her for the first time. Surprised, Hyun Seo opened her eyes wide before tightly closing them.
Already immersed in the afterglow of the confession of love, she felt an overwhelmingly breathless emotion. Experiencing their first kiss that day, she finally felt like she had become a woman to Do Ha.
And they held their wedding the following year.

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. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. 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.
