    A quiet shaman’s shrine. With only a small candle lit before the Buddha statue, Cheonsin Bosal offered her prayers. Her prayer seemed endless, continuing until beads of sweat formed on her wrinkled forehead.

     

    Whoosh—

    Just then, an untimely wind blew into the shrine, despite the door being firmly locked. The flickering candle instantly lost its life. In the shrine filled with utter darkness, she opened her eyes wide.

    Muttering incomprehensible words, she soon burst into tears and wailed. She slammed her palm against the wooden floor dozens of times.

    As if she hadn’t been crying just moments before, Cheonsin Bosal abruptly stopped her tears. As an eerie wind filled the shrine once more, she abruptly stood up.

    At her question, a young man’s voice came from outside the door. Lee Taerim, who had received his calling at the age of eighteen and had trained under Cheonsin Bosal for a long time, was currently in charge of the overall management of the shrine.

    Although it was past two in the morning, Cheonsin Bosal insisted on heading to Cha Jinwoong’s residence. Jinwoong also readily granted her a visit without hesitation.

    “Seowoo, come and greet the Elder.”

    The next day. Returning home after her part-time job, Seowoo was met with an unbelievable sight. Hyunsook had brought an Elder into the house without a word of warning.

    Having already heard strange things from her younger brother about a potential bride, Seowoo had been waiting for her mother’s return. But seeing her with the Elder, fear suddenly washed over her.

    “Noona, you’re here? The Elder prayed for me, and it’s really amazing.”

    What was even more shocking was that Junseo was holding the Elder’s hand tightly. Junseo rejoiced, saying that his seizures had miraculously stopped from the moment the Elder prayed for him.

    Seeing Junseo smiling brightly was a relief, but convinced that the Elder was a cult member, Seowoo entered the house with a hardened expression.

    The elder scanned Seowoo’s entire body with a serpent-like, cunning gaze. Enduring that horrifying stare, she clenched both her hands tightly.

    “Oh my. As expected, the Lord has guided our Seowoo to the Elder in advance. He must have recognized at a glance that Seowoo would become the Elder’s bride.”

    At that moment, Seowoo’s entire body stiffened. The Elder’s bride. Her mother had indeed said those words.

    Just then, Hyunsook approached Seowoo’s side and abruptly grabbed her hand. Her grip was so fierce that a cry of pain nearly escaped Seowoo’s lips.

    Taking a moment to catch her breath, Hyunsook stared intently into Seowoo’s wide eyes.

    Although she had divorced her husband long ago, Junseo was a precious, invaluable descendant as the fourth-generation only son. The memory of her in-laws, deeply disappointed and critical when she first gave birth to Seowoo, still pierced her heart.

    However, when she confirmed that the child she bore the following year was a son, Hyunsook felt like she had gained the whole world. The thought of finally being able to stand tall in front of her in-laws filled her with uncontainable joy.

    But this happiness was short-lived. Less than 100 days after Junseo was born, she discovered her husband’s infidelity.

    Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

     

    When she confronted him, her husband, initially eager to apologize, grew increasingly brazen over time and eventually even attempted to lay his hands on her. On days when her husband was heavily intoxicated, she had countless times fled with her young children to a neighborhood bench, where they would spend the night.

    Even at the moment she decided to divorce, the thing Hyunsook most wanted to protect was Junseo’s custody. Since her husband was clearly the at-fault party, the legal battle didn’t last long.

    Finally, Hyunsook was able to start a new life, securing custody of both children and alimony. The fact that she had taken away the fourth-generation only son, whom her in-laws cherished so much, gave her an immense sense of satisfaction. In short, her son Junseo was the sole source of pride in Hyunsook’s life.

    Junseo, too, seemed surprised by his mother’s words, his face registering shock. Nevertheless, he never let go of the Elder’s hand he was holding. Horrifyingly, there wasn’t a single person on Seowoo’s side in this situation.

    Everything felt indescribably horrifying, so Seowoo jumped up from her seat and rushed out of the house. Her face turned pale with the fear that the Elder might catch her if she delayed.

    The two figures, a man and a woman seated by the window overlooking the Han River looked as elegant as a painting.

    The woman, dressed in a designer two-piece suit, kept shyly smiling and meeting Minjun’s gaze. Minjun, seemingly not disliking her, nodded and continued the conversation.

    “What?”

    The woman’s eyes widened. She had only heard a relatively simple story from her father, who had arranged the blind date: that Chairman Cha Jinwoong of Daehan Group was obsessed with fortune-telling. Cha Minjun, CEO of Daehan Motors, had too much fire energy in his fortune, so he was originally fated to die young, but if he met a woman with wood energy, his fate would change.

    Minjun didn’t try to stop her and simply continued his meal. But a deep fatigue was evident on his face.

    This was already his third blind date today. At first, the women showed open interest, but they all changed their minds after hearing Minjun’s final words. Even if fortune-telling was a lie and a base trick, no woman would readily agree to die in his place when asked directly.

    Minjun intended to tell the truth as it was in the remaining blind dates. Since he didn’t believe in fortune-telling anyway, he had no intention of hiding it and getting married.

    Wondering what kind of tantrum his grandfather would throw this time, Minjun’s brow furrowed.
