Summary

“Stop acting so pitiful, Yoon Yoo-a.”

That’s what she hears from her husband, Lee Jun—the man who proposed a loveless contract marriage while she endured endless mistreatment from her great-aunt.

“Go to the department store tomorrow, try to cheer yourself up.”
“There’s a faster, more effective way.”

Determined to cast off everything that no longer suits her, Yoo-a asks Lee Jun for a divorce.
On one condition: that she be allowed to raise the sick child.

Since Lee Jun already had a perfect fiancée lined up from the beginning, remarriage would be easy for him anyway.
But then—

“Divorce? If that’s all you want, I’ll grant it. But leave Se-jin behind.”

His thunderous words leave her reeling, but the next day, the child suddenly passes away.
With no reason left to stay married—or even to go on living—someone pushes her down the stairs.

And then—

“It’ll last two years at most. Just pretend to be a reasonably happy couple, then part ways.”

She’s back.
Back to the day he first proposed the contract marriage.

“What are you waiting for? Take my hand. I told you—I’ll be your solution.”

She knows she must not take his hand this time.
She knows the future holds nothing but pain.

But if she does take his hand, she might be able to meet that pearl-in-the-mud child once again.

Can Yoo-a truly become Lee Jun’s wife once more?
