MELLO was one of the top fashion magazines in the US, and they only used Asian models almost once a quarter.

'Female Fortress Leader' was quite a hit overseas too and with Kai's secret operations, Y/N managed to clinch the cover shoot for MELLO fashion magazine. However, without his connections, a newbie like her would have never had that chance.

Han had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Y/N getting out of the car, he hurried over to carry her bag.

"Sister Y/N, you're here. Come in, the set is ready, we're waiting for you."

Y/N looked at Han in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad, you're good-looking and smart too. I'll get Kai to give you a raise when I go back later."

Han was overjoyed to hear that.

Most importantly, he had already found out about Y/N's identity and since she mentioned a raise, he reckoned that there would definitely be one!

Assistant Wen silently watched everything.

'Mr. Kim's marriage is in danger.'

There were already tens of people in the studio. Apart from Y/N and Han, everyone else were all Americans.

The photographer was... a man with an eccentric personality.

He had a beard and he was fair and chubby. He was wearing a dazzling sequined suit.

As soon as he saw Y/N, he immediately opened his arms enthusiastically and was ready to give Y/N a hug.

Y/N was startled and she was clenching her fists, all ready to fight.

The photographer mimicked her and chattered incessantly.

Y/N looked at Han in puzzlement and asked, "Who is he? What is he saying?"

"Sister Y/N, he's Mr. Mason, the chief photographer of MELLO. Today, he is responsible for your photoshoot and he just said that it's a pleasure to meet you."

Y/N frowned and said, "Why did he have to get physical?"

'Uh...'

"He was just trying to hug you out of courtesy."

Han felt that Y/N looked like she was ready to fight someone just now.

The theme of this photo shoot was goth and Y/N's makeup and clothes were also gothic. She had smoky eye makeup and purple lipstick.

She wore a black veil and looked mysterious and sinister like a demoness of the palace.

Upon sight of her, Mason's eyes lit up and he took a few close-up photos of Y/N.

"Didn't you say that the male model is Eurasian?"

Y/N was more concerned about that.

It was said that Eurasian models were generally extremely good-looking and had great figures.

The most important thing was that they were strong!

Y/N had already started to imagine the scene of shooting with the male model later.

While getting her makeup done, the interpreter said that the model would be topless when shooting with her this time...

'Ah, after waiting for so long, I finally get to see the male model I've been waiting to see.'

The model was about the same height as Taehyung and his brown eyes were glassy like marbles. He had a deep and alluring gaze.

The topless male model had already had his makeup done and his figure was in the shape of an inverted triangle with extremely defined muscles.

She was somehow reminded of Taehyung.

'Taehyung's figure is actually better than this model...'

'His muscles are streamlined and just right, but this model is a little too bulky.'

'However, he still looks good.'

Just as she was admiring him, she heard a familiar voice.

After taking a clear look at the person who came, Y/N's face turned sullen.

"Little Pepper, are you surprised? I heard that you're here to shoot for this magazine so I came to accompany you!"

Jimin was topless too. Although he looked like a hunk, the way he spoke...

Y/N rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't ask for you to accompany me."

"But I want to. Little Pepper, we're going to shoot for the cover page today, stay far away from that man later. Just lean close to me!"

"Why should I have the photo shoot with you?" Y/N protested with a frown.

Jimin blinked his peach-blossom-shaped eyes and said, "The chief editor of this magazine and I are good friends. At my strong suggestion, he also felt that it was better for two handsome men to pose together with a beautiful woman."

"..."

'Jimin is toxic, analysis complete.'

Jimin circled around Y/N and said, "Little Pepper, you look gorgeous in this outfit, we haven't met in a long time, do you miss me? Lately, I got kidnapped and brought to the mountain for filming. I was released only two days ago."

Touching his face which had obviously gotten tanned, Jimin said, "However, as soon as I returned to the city, I started asking around about you to find out your whereabouts. I even took on this shoot free of charge. Little Pepper, are you very touched?"

Jimin opened his arms and said, "If you're touched, you can lean on my chest."

"Get lost."

'Damn it, is he out of his mind? If he doesn't want money, he can give some to me!'

"Little Pepper, I know you're in need of money lately. I have a lot of money now, why don't I provide for you? Just stay at home and enjoy life while I go out to earn money!"

He then whipped out his bank card proudly.

Seeing that he seemed to be ready to read his PIN code out aloud, his manager immediately rushed forward to snatch the bank card away. "Oh Jimin, will you please proceed with the shoot first? What are you doing flaunting your wealth in public? You know you shouldn't do that."

Gritting his teeth, Jimin said, "Who would dare to rob from me?"

Y/N was standing right beside him.

She really had the guts to snatch it from him.

She hated those who liked flaunting their wealth.

After all, Jimin was an actor who relied on his good looks to make a living. His figure was indeed on par with the male models.

The backdrop was a simulation of the roof of a high tower.

Y/N sat on the roof while Jimin and the male model stood on either side of her.

The photographer exclaimed in awe while shooting.

The second set of photos was even hotter.

They were shot in the pool.

Y/N had a long mental struggle and when she was so close to hitting someone, the magazine officials finally compromised and allowed her to wear a skirt on top of the sash.

Jimin had already changed into a pair of swimming trunks that he thought was nice and was lying on a beach chair in an extremely flirtatious position.

His eyes lit up when Y/N walked out, but when he finally got a clear glimpse of what she was wearing, he immediately got a little displeased. "Little Pepper, why aren't you wearing the bikini I picked for you? You'd definitely be the sexiest, most perfect and beautiful woman in the world when you wear it."

'Idiot.'

'That's such a revealing bathing suit, did the manufacturer lack fabric? If they do, they should quit the industry. Wearing that would be as good as wearing nothing.'

"Sister Y/N, lie by the poolside to drink some wine later. Interact with Jimin and the male model too. Just have some fun and enjoy yourself."

Y/N then looked at the male model who was having his makeup retouched. She finally smiled.

'It's fine, Jimin can be the third party.'

However, no one noticed that a man standing behind the crowd was taking photos continuously.

Taehyung received a set of photos as soon as he returned to the office.

Y/N was photographed laughing and chatting with two men in the pool while wearing a swimsuit.

He could recognize Jimin to be the monk in Female Fortress Leader whom he thought was ugly.

'Why is that monk there?'

"Assistant Wen."

Hearing his name getting called, Assistant Wen hurried to the desk and said,

"Mr. Kim, do you have any orders for me?"

"How long more will my wife's photo shoot take?"

Assistant Wen looked at his watch and answered, "It'll probably take about ten minutes more."

He closed the laptop and picked up the blazer draped on the chair. "Prepare the car, we're going to pick my wife up."

'Indeed, Second Young Madam Kim is different from other women. Mr. Kim got jealous after seeing those photos.'

After the photo shoot, Y/N pulled the male model away to take several photos together with him. She then uploaded it to her social media account before leaving in satisfaction.

"Little Pepper, let's leave together!"

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the studio, Jimin suddenly dashed towards her.

Clad in a suit, he looked like he was going to attend an event. As long as he didn't speak, he would look decent and proper.

Y/N frowned tightly and refused with great displeasure, "No."

"Why? We're staying in the same hotel. I'll send you back before going to attend a charity event tonight. Little Pepper, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

Panting heavily, the manager and assistant scurried over, looking rather helpless when they saw Jimin teasing Y/N again.

'Jimin, when will you be normal?'

"There is indeed something that I desperately want."

Y/N thought about it for a while.

Jimin patted his chest, and blinked his peach-blossom-shaped eyes. "What? Feel free to tell me, I will do anything for you."

'That's not necessary.'

Glancing at him coldly, Y/N said, "Your life."

Jimin's smile stiffened and he suddenly began to look aggrieved. "I'm willing to give up my life for you, Little Pepper, but after I die, what will happen to you? You'll never be able to find such an outstanding man like me again. From now on, you'll be lonely for the rest of your life. Little Pepper, if..."

With a hypocritical smile, Y/N said, "It'd be better if you're dead, I'll be happier too."

Looking heartbroken, Jimin put a hand on his chest and said, "Little Pepper, how can you be so heartless? I'm so heartbroken. I thought that our relationship would come to fruition after all that we had experienced together."

"What have we experienced?" Y/N couldn't help but be curious.

Jimin's jaw moved and his peach-blossom-shaped eyes were filled with a look of disbelief. "Little Pepper, you..you...you actually forgot all the vows we made to each other? You said you wanted to snatch me away and marry me. You even forcefully kissed me and also said that no matter who I am and what I become, you will still love me!"

"..."

The veins on Y/N's forehead bulged and she chided, "That's the scene from the movie, what does it have to do with me? Fool!"

"Little pepper, you're being heartless and unreasonable, everything you said last time were lies!"

Raising her hand to rub her temples, she looked at Jimin's manager and said, "Take this one away, I'm afraid I might cripple him."

The two of them rushed forth to take Jimin away by force.

Almost as soon as Jimin's car left, a black business commercial vehicle appeared in front of him.

The car door was opened and Taehyung's handsome face immediately appeared in front of her.

Seeing that Han was smart enough to leave, Y/N hesitated for a moment before getting inside the car.

The subtle fragrance in the car wafted to her nose.

Immediately afterwards, Taehyung said in an alluring voice, "I'm alright."

"The magazine shoot today seems very successful for you."

'It would have been better without that sissy Jimin.'

Taehyung didn't get annoyed by the fact that Y/N was ignoring him. "The male model is not bad."

"Yes, he's not bad, his muscles are soothing to touch too."

Taehyung's eyebrows were raised and there was some gloominess in his eyes.

'You touched him too?'

After a long time, Taehyung said, "Actually, my body feels good to touch too."

Assistant Wen who was driving almost collided with another car.

Y/N couldn't help but look at Taehyung, "You should take your clothes off and let me touch it!"

'Damn do Mr. Kim and Young Madam Kim always get up to such thrilling acts?'

'Don't bully me just because I'm single!'

"My wife, we're outside, you should pay attention to your image."

'Are you talking to a bandit about image? You must be joking.'

"It's more exciting like this. To be honest, I've long wanted to try getting it on with you in the car."

Assistant Wen tried to ignore the conversation between the two of them.

'I'm now deaf, I can't hear anything, yes, I'm deaf...'

Taehyung was also a little awkward.

'My wife is too wild and hard to tame.'

"Mr. Kim, don't you want to try it? It must be exceptionally exciting to do it in the car."

The corners of Taehyung's mouth twitched and he didn't answer.

Y/N suddenly leaned close to him while Taehyung subconsciously leaned towards the side.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kim, I'm very gentle and I promise you will be satisfied and fall in love with... the scent of the car."

Y/N sounded extremely seductive and alluring.

Assistant Wen shook his body to get rid of his goosebumps, trying his best to stay calm.

'Oh my God!'

'What shocking secret did I just discover? The vicious and overbearing Mr. Kim is actually the submissive one at home? However, it makes sense. Mr. Kim is such an impressive person. It takes an even more powerful person to subdue him.'

Assistant Wen was impressed with Y/N.

'Second Young Madam Kim is really impressive, will Mr. Kim have any strange reactions when they get intimate with each other? Will he get nauseous in the process?'

'What if she gets displeased when he acts up?'

'Unsatisfied women are the most likely to cheat.'

He sighed...

Assistant Wen felt that Taehyung could no longer find an employee who was so dedicated to his job.

Y/N was still teasing Taehyung seriously.

When they arrived at the entrance of his home, Jennie pulled open the car door and was about to welcome them.

'Damn it! Why is Second Sister-in-law Pinning Second Brother in the car?'

'Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Second Brother was blushing, is he shy?'

'Second Sister-in-law is so powerful, she can actually make Second Brother shy.'

Sensing that the car door was pulled open, Y/N turned around and saw Jennie standing outside the car with her eyes wide open.

Jennie immediately turned around and said, "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything."

Taehyung adjusted his tie and pushed open the door of the car with a calm expression. "My wife likes joking, don't take it seriously."

After saying that, he headed into the mansion.

After taking a few steps, Y/N said effortlessly, "I do want to sleep with you."

Jennie, who was wearing high heels, almost sprained her ankle.

Assistant Wen hurriedly sped off in his car.

'Second Sister-in-law is so bold with her words. Second Sister-in-law, I'm not as powerful as you are!'

'Wow, Second Sister-in-law can be dominant and submissive too. She's good at combat, pretty, intelligent, and most importantly, she's almost conquered the scheming and vicious Second Brother!'

Y/N found it extremely exciting to tease Taehyung every now and then just to see him blush.

Taehyung freed out a day to take Y/N out for shopping.

Ever since he saw the photo of Y/N and Jimin, he suddenly felt that he was too incompetent of a husband.

As a result, his wife often thought of making him a cuckold.

The office tower of Kim Group was located in a prime location in the city center, and there were many Asians who lived in houses along the streets in the vicinity.

Kim Jae Wook was a zealous patriot. When Taehyung expanded the Kim Group's business all the way to the US, Kim Jae Wook specially instructed him to take care of his countrymen.

Taehyung had prepared Y/N's outfit today, which consisted of a off shoulder dress that accentuated her deceivingly pretty face, making her look like extremely ladylike, resembling a fairy.

Taehyung was clad in a suit, but this time, he was wearing a beige suit and white shirt.

When Jennie finished packing and saw the couple sitting in the living room, she somehow felt that they were wearing a couple outfit.

'They've gone overboard. Are they bullying me because I have no boyfriend?'

"My wife, where would you like to go?"

Y/N answered without even thinking, "Somewhere with lesser foreigners."

Taehyung and Jennie were both silent.

'Well, we're overseas.'

Finally, Taehyung brought Y/N to the street near the office.

The entire street was decorated in an oriental style and it looked particularly outstanding among the American style buildings.

Many Korean Americans often went there to take photos.

"Indeed, it's better back in our home country."

Y/N strolled along the street and looked around with her hands behind her back. She couldn't help but sigh.

Although she was a bandit, she was actually very patriotic.

In her era, the four countries were in power, and her country was the weakest of the four.

A royal of the strongest country took a liking to her and gave her a generous offer to leave her country.

Later on...

She killed that royal and hung his head in front of the Black Cloud Fortress for a month.

Even though her country was incompetent, she would never allow outsiders to say anything bad about it.

Taehyung could sense how much Y/N loved their country.

He had no doubt that if World War III had started, she would definitely be the first woman to charge into battle and defend the country.

Suddenly, his phone started ringing.

After taking a look at the caller ID, Taehyung's face grew sullen and he said, "Darling, I'm going to pick up a call, let Jennie accompany you."

Y/N waved her hand at him perfunctorily.

After walking around for a while, she finally couldn't help but ask, "If these people love our local culture so much, why do they want to settle down in the US?"

Jennie raised her hand abruptly and said, "I know, our politics teacher is very talkative and often tells us about such things..."

Y/N glared at her and said, "Get to the point."

"Ahem, some of them end up in the US because their forefathers settled down there decades ago. Although they're Korean, they were born and bred in the US. Others might be here to pursue an education while some purely like living here."

Y/N humphed and suddenly heard the rowdiness coming from the alley.

"Please, stop hitting me..."

That person spoke in Korean.

Soon, Y/N saw a brick flying out of the alley.

Fixing her gaze on the alley, she strode over.

In the alley, a few people were surrounding a boy who looked particularly weak and were kicking and punching him.

They looked very young and should be about the same age as Jennie.

They were beating up some locals and native Korean.

"He actually wrote Andrea a love letter. He really doesn't know any better, keep beating up."

"Look at what you're like, you're just a dog from Korea, how dare you show off in our territory?"

"Exactly, how can you compare me with him? I've long become an American a few years ago. How can I be the same as him?"

A few Asian boys cursed.

"Who gave you scums the audacity to be here?"

Upon hearing the arrogant girl's voice coming from the alley, everyone looked over, only to see two extremely pretty young women standing there.

The one taking the lead was dressed in a long off-shoulder dress with a furious expression and her hands on her waist.

"Where did this little beauty come from? How dare she interfere with our matters?"

"Are you going to stand up for him?"

Y/N raised an eyebrow haughtily. "I'm not only going to do justice for him, I'll teach you two a lesson too."

They couldn't understand what she was saying and thus started rubbing their ears and only when one of them interpreted what Y/N said did they all burst into contemptuous laughter.

"You're overseas and yet you're still so arrogant. Are your parents aware of this?"

"Do your parents know that you're about to be beaten up into a pulp and have all your teeth fall out?" Y/N retorted with a straight face.

The boy who was huddled up in the corner said to Y/N, "You should go quickly. Chen Zhongjie and his gang often bullies us."

'Chen Zhongjie?'

Just as Y/N was about to ask who Chen Zhongjie was, the boy who was being sarcastic to Y/N suddenly kicked him. "Stop being so talkative and lick my shoes. I'll spare you and that beautiful girl, how does that sound?"

All bruised and swollen from the beating, the boy starred at Chen Zhongjie and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, hurry up."

'Not only does he refuse to acknowledge his roots, but he even humiliated someone from his home country.' Y/N thought to herself, her chest heaving up and down furiously.

"You're just a bunch of scums who are insults to humans. I'm going to do justice today."

"You're pretty good at scolding others, huh?" Chen Zhongjie totally didn't notice the look of sympathy in Jennie's eyes as he strode forward and got ready to touch Y/N's face. However, Y/N was quick to grab his wrist.

She twisted his arm with some force and then kicked Chen Zhongjie in the stomach when he was approaching.

Chen Zhongjie flew far and had his back slammed hard against the wall.

No one expected that to crop up out of nowhere and were simply looking at Chen Zhongjie who was howling on the ground.

"What are all of you still standing there for? Since this b*tch has the nerve to be so arrogant on our turf, hurry up and nab her!"

They started rubbing their fists and cracking their knuckles.

With a straight face and her hands behind her back, Y/N stared at the person walking towards her.

The first to attack was a brawny young man who was smiling lewdly and staring at Y/N, as if he was bent on violating her.

"Jennie, stand back, don't get in my way."

Jennie quickly nodded.

'I'm so excited. I've never seen Second Sister-in-law taking on ten people by herself. Is she going to lose?'

'Nah, she's very impressive.'

'Yes, I must record a video of Second Sister-in-law's glory and show it off to Third Brother.'

Y/N, the formidable bandit leader who was feared by many, had one of the best combat skills in the fortress.

Spears and guns wouldn't intimidate her at all, let alone these nobodies. At the instant that she was surrounded, Y/N smirked.

Before Jennie could get a clear glimpse of how Y/N attacked, the punks had already collapsed onto the ground, one after another.

When Y/N was done, she rubbed her nose and said with a contemptuous gaze, "South Korea has a rich history that dates back to thousands of years. We are also known for our impeccable marital arts. Trust you lousily-skilled nobodies to have the cheek to throw your weight around. I'm one of the best martial artists in my country."

After saying that, Y/N turned around to look at Jennie. "Translate it into their language."

Jennie nodded repeatedly and swallowed some saliva. Even her voice began to get a little shaky.

She knew that Y/N was impressive, but not to such a drastic extent!

After Jennie relayed Y/N's message to them, Y/N bent forward to tug the collar of the person nearest to her. She said menacingly, "If you don't want to be beaten up badly, get lost immediately. Don't let me catch you bullying her or I'll kill you."

Jennie consciously started translating.

The European boys rolled and crawled away.

Chen Zhongji and the others did not expect Y/N, a woman who looked too delicate and weak to take care of herself properly, to be so powerful.

After all, they were still college students who usually only dared to bully their schoolmates. Now that they had met such a powerful person, they were so scared that they dared not breathe.

Just as they were about to leave, Y/N interjected, "Hold it."

Chen Zhongjie covered his stomach with one hand and supported himself against the wall with the other, the corners of his forehead covered in sweat. "We were wrong, we will never bully him again."

"Do you guys look down on Korea?"

Y/N asked.

Chen Zhongjie hurriedly shook his head and said, "No no, we have always especially admired and respected Korea where our ancestral roots are..."

Before he finishes, Y/N rushed forward to slap him and berated, "Shut up, you don't deserve to say that."

"Yes, yes, I don't."

Chen Zhongji didn't expect to get slapped instead.

"Damn it, is your ancestor not from South Korea? Forget it that you won't embrace your roots, you even bullied someone from your home country. Who gave you the guts to do that? Do you know what being gutsy is?"

"Yes, yes," Chen Zhongji stammered, trembling because he was frightened by Y/N's domineeringness.

Y/N squinted and asked, "Huh?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

"Repeat yourself."

"I know... I don't know..."

'Oh my god, what answer do you expect from me!?!'

Y/N pointed to the boy on the ground and questioned, "Are you and him from the same school?"

"Yes, yes."

"Very good, from now on, you will protect him. If I find out that he got bullied in the US again... Even if only a finger of his is broken..."

Y/N glanced at Chen Zhongjie's body, and finally fixed her gaze on his crotch.

"I'll make you an eunuch and throw you into the gigolo place!"

Chen Zhongjie subconsciously pressed his legs together and said, "I know, I know, I will do as you say."

Y/N humphed coldly and squatted down to look him in the eye. "You're such a coward. If you got beaten up in our home country, I wouldn't bother saving you."

The boy said with a look of embarrassment, "I... I know, thank you."

Y/N did not continue to pay attention to him and instead got up to look at Chen Zhongjie and the others. "Now, run two laps around this street while calling yourself a scumbag and a traitor."

"Huh? Can I not..."

Y/N raised her clenched fist. "Do you want to be beaten up?"

"No, no, no, I'll get to it right now."

"Do it in both languages, now scram!"

When Taehyung hung up the phone and came back, he saw four or five Korean boys running down the street and scolding themselves.

Y/N was seated on the stone monument by the roadside like a mafia boss while Jennie recorded the entire process.

"Did you do this?"

Taehyung glanced at them and asked Y/N.

Y/N looked up and said, "I saw a few people who were itching for a beating so I taught them a lesson on behalf of the nation."

'Teach them a lesson? That's a special way of teaching.'

Jennie showed video that she recorded just now to Taehyung like it was a treasure. "Second Brother, that group of people are simply a bunch of scumbags. Second Sister-in-law's punishment is not considered severe enough, look!"

Taehyung watched how Y/N beat them up badly in the video.

The tip of his eyebrows moved and he looked at Y/N, who was tapping away on her cell phone.

"Your combat skills are not bad."

"It's extremely good."

Y/N corrected.

"Maybe you can go train the Kim Family's escort team."

Y/N's eyes lit up when she heard his words. "Really?"

Seeing how smitten and boy-crazy she was, Taehyung said with a smile, "No."

Y/N's pretty face instantly turned sullen.

'Damned dog.'

Y/N pulled a long face for the rest of the day and looked at everyone hostilely as if they owed her a living or had a huge feud with them.

After the lesson that he learned last night, Taehyung bought beds for all the rooms in the house and Jennie was extremely excited to finally be able to move in with them.

After some questioning, she finally fished out some news from Assistant Wen.

'Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law were quite intense last night.'

'That's good, it means they're in a loving relationship.'

'If they are loving, they will not divorce. As long as they don't get a divorce, Second Sister-in-law will be my guardian!!'

Ever since he received the call from Taehyung, Kai had been anxious.

'How did I offend Second Brother? Why does he want to send me to Africa to mine for diamonds?'

While he was being perplexed, he suddenly received a message from Jennie who had sent him the video.

He initially thought that Jennie was just showing off to her about how much she and Y/N were enjoying themselves in the US, but after he opened it...

'Damn!'

He sprung up from the sofa and watched the video with his eyes wide open.

'Second Sister-in-law is impressive! Second Sister-in-law is awesome! She showed him mercy!'

Kai was now extremely thankful that Y/N was his sister-in-law. Otherwise, given all the things that he had done to her in the past...

He looked at the feather duster in the display case, shuddering in fear.

Y/N never expected that the video of her vile acts would be recorded by someone.

At this moment, the news of Y/N hitting someone in the US made it to the top of the hot search list.

Many people thought that Y/N had merely hit someone overseas and only after watching the video did she realize...

"I'm a huge fan of hers now! I take my hat's off to you."

"I didn't feel much about her at first and I even thought that Female Fortress Leader was over-hyped. Now, I finally realize that Sister Y/N is really impressive, I refuse to acknowledge them as my fellow countrymen because they're demons."

"I somehow feel touched. Sister Y/N is now overseas and despite facing so many thugs, she went to rescue someone in distress without hesitation, all because that boy is of the same nationality as ours. Besides, she's just a girl. Many men wouldn't dare to do it, right?"

"That beautiful girl dressed in designer clothes must be Miss Kim, right? What is Sister Y/N doing with Miss Kim?"

"Sister Y/N is in an ambiguous relationship with Third Young Master Kim so it shouldn't be strange that she knows Second Young Madam Kim too, right?"

Of course, there were also some snide comments that were written by the fans of other female artistes.

Y/N chose to ignore all of them.

After getting into a fight overseas, she gained a new bunch of fans.

The filming for the new drama was about to begin soon and Y/N only had three days to spare in the US.

Although Taehyung was not at home all the time, he still chose to spare some time to accompany her.

Y/N found it strange too.

'Did that dog eat something wrong? Shouldn't he be full of disdain towards me? Did I win him over with that bowl of noodles?'

'Or is it that... he has been bewitched by my beauty?'

"Second Brother, when will you return to South Korea?" Jennie asked while packing up, reluctant to leave.

However, she wasn't unwilling to part ways with him. After all, she had always been scared of him since they were children.

She just hadn't had enough fun yet and wanted to spend more time with her best friends here.

As the heiress of a wealthy family, Jennie was a famous socialite in the US as well, and she even enjoyed a high status.

Most of the socialites in the circle were liberal, just like Anna.

Actually, apart from the circle of scions, the socialites were wild and unrestrained too. Many daughters of upstarts would often try to suck up to them in order to become socialites.

Once they were given the title of "socialite", they would feel a sense of superiority.

"I'll be back during the New Year. I doubt your bad company of friends would have the time to meet you."

'How is that possible? I'm the heiress of the Kim family!'

Jennie pursed her lips and said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is really popular now. Do you remember Jungkook who brazenly flirted with her in front of you at Grandpa's birthday bash? And the Best Actor titleholder, Jimin, who has a cute appearance that many girls adore."

Taehyung finally looked away from his document.

"Second Brother, I asked around and found out that Second Sister-in-law likes handsome guys."

Taehyung humphed coldly.

'Anyone who isn't blind can tell that.'

"Second Sister-in-law likes tender-looking guys like Jimin who seems vulnerable and has the potential of being a boy toy. Second Brother, do you know why she's working so hard to earn money?" With a mysterious expression, Jennie continued, "Its because she plans to buy a house and get herself a boy toy..."

Taehyung raised his thick eyebrow and pressed his lips together without saying a word.

Jennie was a little anxious. 'I've already said so much. Doesn't Second Brother feel a little conscious of crisis?'

'When we return, they're really going to be miles apart from each other. I'm not worried that Second Brother would get involved with other women, but Second Sister-in-law puts me ill at ease!'

'If Jungkook or Jimin, or even Jun-ho manage to win her heart, you're going to cry, Second Brother!'

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is displeased with you in the first place. If Jungkook or Jimin try to bribe her with money, she'll definitely leave you."

Taehyung still didn't say anything. He looked at Jennie with a deep and profound gaze and a mysterious glint in his eyes.

Jennie suddenly felt something was wrong. 'Why did I feel a chill down my spine?'

She turned around...

"Oh my God!"

Her heart ricocheted and her legs grew weak.

"Second... Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Y/N stared at her sinisterly with an extremely gentle smile. "I didn't know Jennie knows me so well, it's really an honor."

Jennie smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, it's because I love you too much, Second Sister-in-law. So, I want to know everything about you, Second Sister-in-law."

'Love?'

Taehyung looked up.

'The Kim siblings are all such dogs.' Y/N thought to herself.

"What's so good about soft and tender boys? I prefer vicious and crafty old foxes." After saying that, she glanced at Taehyung charmingly and continued, "Like your second brother."

Taehyung's hand stiffened when he was holding the document.

Jennie blinked and opened her mouth slightly, in disbelief.

Y/N leaned close to Taehyung and sat down beside him. Just as she was about to put her hand on his shoulder, he stood up with a calm expression.

Despite missing the opportunity, Y/N didn't get angry and instead said, "Men like Mr. Kim who get shy after being teased are the best."

"..."

'Second Sister-in-law is so fierce, she actually tried to pounce onto Second Brother in front of me.'

'Ah, Second Brother, what are you hiding for? I won't spout nonsense anyway.'

Taehyung straightened his clothes and remained composed and ascetic. "Darling, Jennie is still here, please be more reserved."

Y/N whistled and said roguishly, "I understand, Mr. Kim, you mean that these things can only be done behind closed doors in our bedroom at night."

Jennie opened her mouth wide and silently mouthed the word "wow".

'Second Sister-in-law is mighty!'

'My wife is so wild.'

"Darling, your flight is scheduled for this afternoon."

Y/N sat on the single sofa and placed both hands on the backrest of the sofa. With one leg crossed over the other, she pointed at Taehyung and asked, "Mr. Kim, are you getting impatient? It's alright, there are still more than four hours to go. We have plenty of time to get the deed done."

Jennie's face had turned nearly expressionless.

Taehyung coughed into his fist and his handsome face was flushed.

"You have to check-in and go to the waiting lounge two hours in advance. Shall I send you to the airport now?"

With a regretful expression, Y/N said, "Ah, I won't be at ease until I sleep with you. Mr. Kim, are you sure you don't want to get intimate with me first?"

'Second Sister-in-law is really so daring!'

"Sorry to disappoint you, Darling."

'Gee...'

Y/N was just certain that Taehyung's psychological illness was going to hinder him from getting intimate with her...

Otherwise, she would really be reserved.

'Teasing this dog is such a pleasant thrill!'

"I want to bear your child but it seems to be a difficult task," Y/N said, touching her flat stomach. "Why don't we try IVF? After all, you..."

At this point, Y/N glanced at Taehyung's crotch again and continued, "Seem to have some problem down there."

Taehyung squinted and looked at Y/N with a sullen gaze.

Of all things, one should never doubt the sexual abilities of men.

She thought that Taehyung would fly into rage but in the end...

"Madam, since you've already packed up, we can set off now." After saying this, he got up and went to get the car keys.

Y/N pursed her lips and when she passed by Jennie, she said to her casually, "Your second brother is really uninteresting."

'Indeed, he's very uninteresting. Otherwise, why would he still be a bachelor until he married you?'

Taehyung sent Y/N and Jennie to the airport and instructed the driver to leave in a cool and suave manner.

Staring at Taehyung's car that was speeding away, Jennie said indignantly, "Second Brother is too atrocious, he didn't even say goodbye to you!"

Y/N rubbed her chin with one hand and said, "Maybe he's just shy."

'Shy? Second Brother gets shy too?'

Y/N really didn't take it seriously. If Taehyung showed her some concern, that would be strange.

Thus, as soon as the two of them entered the airport, she received a text message alert.

She opened it to see that it was a text from Taehyung.

"Dog Kim: I will try my best to overcome my illness and let you succeed sooner, Darling."

'Succeed in what? Sleeping with him?'

'Taehyung is secretly unrestrained too. Tsk, tsk.'

The two of them were about to enter the VIP passage when Y/N's attention was suddenly caught by the person next to her.

There was a middle-aged wealthy lady who exuded a noble and elegant aura. Be it in terms of elegance or figure, she was definitely a notch higher compared to other women her age.

She was on the phone, with her bag and suitcase behind her.

At this moment, a tall and thin man loitered around her luggage for a while.

Y/N watched him put his hand into the lady's handbag.

"Keep a close eye on the luggage."

After giving that instruction, Y/N stepped forward and said, "Madam, you have been pickpocketed."

When she passed the wealthy lady, she first informed her of the pickpocket indifferently before blending in with the crowd.

The wealthy lady then remembered about her bag and hung up the phone in a moment of panic. She then turned around to check her bag, only to realize that her wallet was really missing.

Her expression suddenly changed and she subconsciously looked at Y/N.

The pickpocket who had blended in with the crowd had a radiant smile on his face and was just about to leave. However, as soon as he opened the wallet and was ready to rummage through the contents, he suddenly felt someone gripping his collar tightly.

"You'd better not be someone from South Korea. Otherwise, I'll beat you up into a pulp!"

The pickpocket had black hair, dark eyes, and Asian features.

After hearing her words, the pickpocket turned around and was ready to attack her. However, she grabbed his collar again with her other hand and channeled all her power to her arms before throwing him over her shoulder effortlessly.

Bang...

The pickpocket was thrown to the ground with a loud thud.

The floor of the airport was made of marble and thus, it would be extremely painful to fall onto it. Even the people around them could hear the sounds of his bones breaking.

"Damn scum, you are able-bodied, so why do you have to steal!?!"

The pickpocket grimaced and glared at Y/N, "What does it have to do with you? I rely on myself to sustain a livelihood in a foreign country!"

'Oh wow!'

Y/N squinted and leaned forward to yank the pickpocket's collar. "Of all people, you had to steal from your fellow countrymen? I just like doing justice, if you're displeased, you can try hitting me"

After saying that, she waved her fist and said, "There are so many weirdos this year. You're a scumbag."

Y/N cursed and picked up the wallet on the ground. She then turned around and handed it to the noblewoman, "Madam, being rich is not enough, you have to increase your IQ too. Fancy you leaving your valuables around in a place like the airport."

The noblewoman took the wallet and stared at Y/N for a long time.

'Is this little girl teaching me a lesson?'

'This is the first time in my life that someone has ever dared to lecture me!'

Just as she was about to say something, Y/N had already left suavely.

Jennie was lugging their suitcases and following behind her with a look of awe and admiration.

"Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so righteous!"

Y/N suddenly stopped. "Your vocabulary might be poor, but you should still get your facts right."

'Why? What's wrong?'

Jennie was bewildered.

'I just couldn't help but speak to you in a respectful tone when I admire you.'

'I'm sometimes informal with you because I want us to be closer...'

As soon as they sat down in the waiting lounge, the noblewoman came in, and there were two more bodyguards in black who appeared behind her at some point.

Upon sight of Y/N, the noblewoman waved at her excitedly and strutted over in her stilettos.

"Little girl, you left before I could apologize to you."

The noblewoman sat down next to Y/N enthusiastically and affectionately.

"I won't leave my name after doing a good thing."

Y/N answered coldly.

'Ah, this little girl is really cool!'

The noblewoman was smiling so gleefully that she had started squinting. "Little girl, I feel so close to you for some reason. Do you have a boyfriend yet?"

Y/N frowned slightly and glanced at the noblewoman before answering indifferently, "No."

'I do have a husband, though.'

"You don't?" The noblewoman laughed even more joyously and said, "Well, that makes sense. You're so young and pretty, I can tell you're still single."

Y/N raised her eyebrows and thought, 'Is there necessarily any association between that?'

"Girl, do you like handsome men?"

Y/N suddenly felt that this noblewoman might have a real IQ problem.

'What a redundant question. Aren't most women attracted to handsome men?'

"It depends on how handsome he is."

"Ah, he's very, very handsome. My son happens to be single too. He might be a little hot-tempered, but he's great in other aspects. Girl, why don't I introduce you to him some time..."

As soon as she said that, the boarding announcement suddenly sounded.

"Madam, you should get more competent bodyguards and stay at home unless it's necessary to go out."

The two bodyguards stared at Y/N's back in confusion.

Kai drove to the airport and was ready to receive them. In the end, a malicious person revealed Y/N's flight number and thus, there were numerous reporters and Y/N's fans surrounding the airport at this moment.

With a sullen expression, he called Jennie and watched as Y/N walked out under the escort of Han, as well as two temporary bodyguards. They were instantly surrounded by the reporters.

Although she had received interviews before, it was Y/N's first time receiving such a large-scale one.

Besides, she was surrounded by many of her fans.

Hearing them calling her name, she somehow felt a sense of pride and honor.

'I've decided, all of you shall be my underlings in the Black Cloud Fortress in the future!'

"Y/N, are you going to join the crew of 'The Tumultuous Harem' right away? I heard that you went abroad for a magazine photoshoot this time Can you reveal what magazine it is?"

"Y/N, the majority of netizens want to know how long you have learned martial arts for. The video of you upholding justice is now being circulated on the Internet, did you feel scared at that time?"

"Y/N, Y/N, please answer my question first. This time you have garnered countless fans for rescuing your compatriots abroad. What are your thoughts on this?"

The bunch of reporters bombarded Y/N with questions, making her feel as if her ears were going to explode.

As an actress, good professional conduct was still necessary.

She tried her best to maintain calm, and smiled perfunctorily only when she heard the last reporter's question. She then winked at the camera and said, "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."

After that, she pushed the reporters in front of her aside and pointed at her fans present. "Whoever dares to harm my babies in the midst of squeezing will face my wrath and my feather duster!"

Hearing her words, the female fans screamed.

"Ahhhh! Sister Y/N, I want to be your fan forever, Sister Y/N, you're so cool!"

"I'm going to marry you, Sister Y/N!"

"Sister Y/N, look at me, I love you. I want to marry you!"

The fans were in love with her.

Despite being an extremely beautiful woman, she managed to be cooler than a man.

Only a fool wouldn't like Y/N!

Thanks to Y/N's influence, the drama series, "The Tumultuous Harem" rose to fame even before it was aired. She was even more popular than Ji-eun who played the female lead.

Yes, it was Ji-eun.

Y/N had just put on her makeup and was ready to have her stills taken when she saw Ji-eun coming surrounded by a group of small-time actresses.

She still maintained a girl-next-door image, dressed in a thin white sweater with light-washed jeans and her hair tied at the back of her head. She did look very pure and innocent.

Upon sight of Y/N, a fleeting look of disgust flashed in Ji-eun's eyes.

Soon, she walked over with a smile and said, "Y/N, I've always said it would be great to have the opportunity to work with you. I didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly, I'm really overjoyed."

Y/N sipped on some water and then glanced at Ji-eun.

Seeing that Y/N was ignoring her, Ji-eun's gaze turned sullen and she tried her best to maintain a smile. "Y/N, we had some conflicts previously but that's in the past and we're now working on the same project so let's get along well with each other. I joined this industry before you did so I might be more experienced. If there's anything you're unsure of, you may ask me about it."

Seeing how gentle Ji-eun was when greeting Y/N, all the crew members secretly praised her for having a great personality.

Finally, Y/N raised her head and made eye contact with Ji-eun. Tilting her head a little, she asked with utmost sincerity, "Who are you?"

Ji-eun's smile stiffened.

'Did Y/N just ask who I am? She must be kidding, how can she not know who I am?'

For the sake of maintaining the facade and image that she had built for herself, Ji-eun suppressed her anger with all her might and said, "I'm Ji-eun, the female lead of Islander. We've met before and we even stayed in the same hotel previously."

After pretending to be trying hard to recall something for a long time, Y/N finally came to a sudden realization. "Oh! I remember now, it's Islander, the worst period film in history, right?"

At this point , Y/N looked at Ji-eun with a frown. "You've already been in this industry for years, why are you still so bad at picking the productions to star in? Islander had such a lousy storyline, but you chose to take on the job. Tsk, I heard that the actor and actress playing the leading roles got criticized terribly and the director even got arrested for committing a crime."

'Weren't you part of the reason that Lin Chenggong got arrested?' Ji-eun secretly thought to herself while gritting her teeth in exasperation.

'How can this little b*tch have the cheek to pretend to be innocent?'

"By the way, what did you say your name was?" Y/N smacked her head and continued, "I'm sorry that I don't have a good memory. I tend to forget the names of others unless they're beautiful or handsome."

Ji-eun gritted her teeth and was about to retort when an actress behind her suddenly dashed over and chastised, "Hah, keep pretending. Ji-eun is the hottest actress in the nation now and everyone knows who she is. What are you pretending for? You're just jealous that Ji-eun is more popular than you, aren't you?"

That actress seemed to be only about 20 years old. She was quite pretty but it was a shame that she had a foul mouth.

Resting her chin in one hand, Y/N asked seriously, "Is it true that everyone in the nation knows who she is?"

Upon sight of Y/N's innocent expression, the actress humphed in disdain. "Of course, she was the best actress award winner last year!"

'She's being so smug, as if she's the one who won the award instead.'

Y/N rolled her eyes and stopped smiling immediately. "So what? What does that have to do with me? If you don't want to get beaten up, get lost. Don't you know I'm hot-tempered?"

She leaned against the back of the chair, picked a grape and tossed it into her mouth. Although she was wearing a beautiful and luxurious palace costume, she was seated nonchalantly like a bandit.

"You..."

"Enough, Dia. Maybe Y/N really doesn't pay attention to the news about the entertainment industry," Ji-eun interjected.

Although she seemed to be speaking up for Y/N, she was actually...

Smiling like a rogue, Y/N said, "I only have 2G data connection at home. Why don't you get me a 100G broadband service?"

"Don't think you're such a big deal because you can fight. Fighting is not the only skill you need to survive in this industry."

"That's at least better than being poor at acting and lacking martial arts skills too."

She was in a good mood today. Otherwise, that foul-mouthed woman wouldn't have been spared.

"Hey, Y/N, you..."

Seeing the huge commotion, everyone scurried over to stop the fight.

When the director, Chen Keyi, heard the commotion, he rushed over and lost his temper right on the spot.

"If you don't want to stay in this crew, get lost immediately!" After saying that, he glared at the actress and threatened, "Dia, you should be well aware of how you got the supporting role. Don't force me to fire you."

Upon hearing his words, Dia shuddered and hurriedly bowed and apologized.

At the same time, she developed a grudge against Y/N.

Although Y/N was the second female lead, she was playing the empress who had an extremely beautiful and opulent costume and makeup.

Ji-eun was playing the female lead. Although she ended up with only the position of the noble consort, her role was higher than Y/N and hence her costume was much more luxurious.

A large-scale palace harem drama as such would require a cast size of at least twice of that of ordinary television dramas, especially actresses who had to play the six most beautiful women of the palace.

In addition, there was also the male lead, two supporting actors, and several veteran actors. In total, there were more than 20 actors and actresses who came to have their stills taken.

The actor playing the emperor was Jin-hyuk, who was famous in the entertainment industry for being an eligible bachelor. He was almost 40 years old but was still unmarried.

However, he worked out regularly to maintain a good figure and he looked rather youthful too. Despite being at this age, he could still hold a candle to several young hunks.

Y/N, Ji-eun, and Jin-hyuk were going to be photographed together in one of the stills.

Jin-hyuk was dressed in an emperor's robe with a coronet on his head. Seated on the chair, he looked exceptionally majestic.

There was an empty seat beside him.

Ji-eun reapplied her makeup and was ready to sit on it, but Y/N who was in front of her walked past and beat her to it.

Ji-eun's gaze was filled with displeasure but she forced herself to smile. "Y/N, you..."

Y/N was adjusting the loose hem of her dress and when she heard her words, she pointed at the spot beside Jin-hyuk and said, "Oh, you can just stand there."

'What do you mean? I'm the female lead and you want me to stand?'

Seeing this, Dia couldn't help but berate, "Hey, Y/N, what is wrong with you? You're just the supporting actress while Ji-eun is the leading actress. That seat belongs to Ji-eun, you should be the one standing!"

Y/N glanced at her and asked calmly, "An empress and a noble consort, who holds greater authority?"

With a look of contempt, Dia exclaimed, "Don't you have any common sense? Of course it's the empress!"

Y/N grinned before returning to her expressionless state. "Since you're aware of that, what are you still being so cocky for? Shouldn't the empress be seated next to the emperor? Why would it be given to the home wrecker?"

'Homewrecker? Is Y/N calling me a homewrecker?' Ji-eun was furious.

Bent on sucking up to Ji-eun, Dia said arrogantly as if she had gotten some evidence against Y/N. "How dare you say that Ji-eun is a homewrecker? Y/N, you don't want to make a living in this industry anymore, do you?"

"The emperor's lawful wife is the empress, and all other concubines or noble consort or whatever, are all mistresses and homewreckers in modern terms."

'I came from the ancient era but I know better than you!'

Many staff members followed suit and nodded.

Dia was speechless for a moment and she looked at Ji-eun with a flushed face.

Ji-eun smiled before saying, "Yes, Y/N is right, in the drama she is the empress while I'm the noble consort. She should be seated. It's only right that I stand."

After saying that, she walked towards the spot beside Jin-hyuk and stood in place.

While everyone was praising Ji-eun for her good temper, they began to detest Dia even more.

However, they couldn't help it because she managed to join the crew by pulling connections.

Ji-eun was indeed rather popular as many members of the crew liked her.

On the contrary, many artists had been a bit afraid of Y/N since the news of her fighting a group of people abroad came to light.

After taking the final still, Ji-eun waved her sleeve and said, "It's fate that we have met. Dinner tonight is on me, how about we have some imperial cuisine?"

"Imperial cuisine? That must be expensive. Money is hard to earn, let's just go eat barbecued meat or something."

Ji-eun smiled gently and said, "It's alright, I can still afford to pay for a meal of imperial cuisine."

All of a sudden, everyone flocked to her and showered her with compliments.

Ji-eun obviously enjoyed the feeling of being adored by everyone and being in the limelight. She was looking at Y/N with arrogance and contempt.

Y/N had an indifferent expression and was just about to leave when Ji-eun suddenly stopped her.

"Y/N, shall we go together? I heard from Jimin that you like imperial cuisine very much. Jimin admires you very much!"

Dia knew that Ji-eun had always liked Jimin. Hearing her words, she hurriedly sucked up to her. "I really envy Sister Ji-eun for having such a close friendship with Jimin. If only the two of you are together."

Another actress chimed in, "Yes, Sister Ji-eun and Jimin are a match made in heaven. Jimin even confessed his love for Sister Ji-eun previously, didn't he?"

Ji-eun said shyly, "Enough, enough, cut it out. It's not that exaggerated, Jimin and I are just friends."

"Just friends? Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"I heard that someone is always scamming Jimin and trying to be in the same show as Jimin just because she cooperated with him in the same movie. She's really disgusting."

"Exactly..."

The few of them made sarcastic remarks for a long while and would glance at Y/N from time to time.

Y/N touched her nose and thought, 'Are they putting on a show together?'

"Director Chen, I'll get going first."

"Y/N, are you sure you don't want to come with us? It's our first get-together, if you don't go, will it make others feel..." Ji-eun hesitated to speak, seemingly trying to think of a better word. "Will it make others feel that you can't fit in with everyone?"

'If she wants to say that I'm an outcast, she can just say so. Why must she beat around the bush?'

"Even if I'm an outcast, it has nothing to do with you, don't be nosy."

"Y/N, that's not what I meant, I just want the crew to get along well with each other. After all, we will be spending the next few months together."

Ji-eun bit her lower lip, as if she was about to cry.

Y/N immediately flared up and stared at Ji-eun with a hand on her waist. "Am I particularly prone to encountering pretentious bitches or what? Stop putting on such an expression, that trick doesn't work on me. Are you crying? Keep crying and see if I'll beat you up."

Ji-eun's slender body shuddered and she muttered, "I just..."

Y/N clenched her fists and was about to charge towards Ji-eun but a group of people hurriedly surrounded her.

Dia stood in front of Ji-eun and barked, "How dare you hit Ji-eun? Y/N, you're so arrogant!"

Y/N spread her palm open and patted Dia's face with great force. "Stop being so arrogant, we're all getting along well and fine in the crew. Don't provoke me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being hostile to you!"

After saying that, she smiled sinisterly and winked at everyone else. She then turned around and left.

Dia covered her face, somehow feeling humiliated.

"Dia, Y/N is just hot tempered, don't mind me. Let's go for a meal."

Ji-eun took the initiative to link arms with Dia and suddenly leaned closer to her. "Dia, I heard that your cousin is the boss of Seoul Vocational School Union and he's really impressive."

Dia immediately looked proud and exclaimed, "My cousin is a Taekwondo provincial champion, and when I was in college, no one dared to bully me because I had my cousin's protection!"

"It must be great to have a cousin like him."

Dia was deliberately trying to butter Ji-eun up and she immediately asked, "Sister Ji-eun, is there anyone you dislike and want to teach a lesson to? I can tell my cousin and ask him to help you."

Of course there was, she even dreamed of teaching Y/N a lesson!

However, Y/N was now rumored to be in an ambiguous relationship with Kai and was on close terms with Second Young Madam Kim as well as the uncultured heiress of the Kim Family. Hence, she couldn't personally deal with Y/N.

Ji-eun looked at Dia who was beside her. She needed someone to do it on her behalf.

"Dia, you're so marvelous for being able to make it to Seoul University."

Pretending to be modest, Dia said, "It was just by luck. Well, if I weren't an arts student, I wouldn't have made it."

"In that case, you and Miss Kim must know each other, right?"

She wanted to get to know Jennie.

However, Jennie was often surrounded by the wealthy heirs in school and she stood no chance at all.

However...

Dia combed her fingers through her hair and said, "Oh, we don't know each other well. Miss Kim and I majored in different subjects so it was rare for us to run into each other."

"That means you know her then. Dia, you're still young, pretty and well educated. You even know the daughter of the Kim Family. Do your job as an actress well, you have a promising future!"

Ji-eun patted Dia's shoulder and said earnestly.

'Dia is rumored to be a lover of a certain company's deputy CEO, hah... actually that's all that she's worth.'

Dia did not notice the disdain in Ji-eun's eyes when she said that. Still smiling a little proudly, she said, "Sister Ji-eun, you flatter me."

"Dia, you seem to have offended Y/N because of me. Try to avoid getting into a conflict with her during the press conference tomorrow."

After she said that, Dia began thinking about how she was going to make things hard for Y/N during the press conference next.

For once, Seokjin was at home today.

When Y/N arrived home, she saw Seokjin sitting on the sofa while reading a medical book.

He was wearing light-colored casual clothes and his gold-framed glasses. Under the soft light, he looked just like Prince Charming in a castle.

Of the four siblings of the Kim family, she originally admired Seokjin the most, but ever since she learned that he had not been a good husband to Jisso, the dainty beauty, she particularly disliked him.

She changed into slippers and walked towards the sofa to sit down. She then took out her cell phone and began playing some mobile games.

When he heard the music of the game, Seokjin raised his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back."

Y/N assented perfunctorily.

'When did I provoke her?'

"What else can you do besides chirotherapy?"

Y/N glanced at him and said, "I have plenty of skills. For example, I can break someone else's bones before connecting them together again."

At this point, Y/N raised her brows and asked, "Brother, would you like to try?"

"..."

Seokjin coughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you're quite special."

Apart from special, he really couldn't find another word to describe her.

He heard from Jennie that she teased and flirted with Taehyung right in front of her.

Even he was somewhat fearful of the crafty and vicious Taehyung. Yet, Y/N had the guts to flirt with him...

Seokjin suddenly had an evil interest.

'Interesting.'

Those who studied medicine more or less had peculiar interests.

To put it bluntly, they were commonly known as psychopaths.

The actual psychopath of psychopaths was definitely Seokjin. Although he seemed to be a gentleman, he was actually no less ruthless than Taehyung.

Y/N had heard from Jennie that Seokjin liked to study the skeletal structure of the human body, as well as their internal organs. He also liked studying people with unique personalities.

"Are you planning to study me?" Y/N suddenly asked.

Staring straight into her pure eyes, he nodded and said truthfully, "Yes."

"How do you plan to study me then? Are you going to skin me alive or remove my scalp?"

"What do you prefer?" Seokjin asked.

Y/N looked up and said calmly, "I think you can crack my skull open and take a look at the structure of my brain, you might be in for a surprise!"

Seokjin placed an arm across his chest and rubbed his chin with his other hand. "Good idea."

"How are you going to seal my skull afterwards? Are you going to stitch my head together or bind them with nails? Or superglue?"

With a gentle smile, Seokjin said, "You've got such a pretty brain. I'll have to use an advanced laceration method to ensure that there at least wouldn't be a scar."

Zhang Guoquan and two maids were looking at them from afar, shivering when they overheard their conversation.

'How daring of the two of them.'

Zhang Guoquan once again began to ponder.

'Second Young Madam Kim is quite ferocious, maybe I should be more tactful when I report to Second Young Master about her in the future.'

The filming of 'The Tumultuous Harem' officially began.

The famous local director, Chen Keyi, was cooperating with several renowned screenwriters, and there were several famous veteran actors among the cast.

In addition, Y/N's incident that occurred overseas had brought a lot of attention onto the drama series, making it the most anticipated production of the year.

The positive image and excellent reputation that Ji-eun had painstakingly built had also helped increase the popularity of this drama.

The venue of the press conference to announce the start of the filming was incredibly crowded as the reporters of various tabloids, magazines, and news websites were vying hard for a chance to join the press conference.

This time, Y/N went onstage and openly sat on the seat reserved for the supporting actress.

Perhaps because it was a customary practice for the leading actors to be late to event, Ji-eun strutted in only after all the directors, male lead, and other members of the cast were seated.

She specially wore a gown that was recently showcased in a fashion show during fashion week.

Y/N could recognize it to be from the Starry Collection under Jisso's brand.

'Why does it seem like an insult to Jisso that Ji-eun is wearing a dress she designed? I'm so furious, I want to rip that dress apart!'

As soon as she got seated, Ji-eun sensed the peculiar look that Y/N shot her, which somehow made her feel a chill down her spine.

"Y/N, you're dressed so casually today."

Indeed, her outfit was very casual.

The people on the stage were all dressed to the nines, with the actresses donning beautiful gowns, unlike Y/N... who was dressed in ripped jeans and a flannel shirt.

She was probably dressed more formally than this even when she went out to meet others in private.

"What's wrong with my outfit? Don't you think I'm a fresh sight here?"

Ji-eun smirked, not expecting Y/N to be that confident about herself.

'Indeed, she's standing out from others.'

The reporters below the stage were amused by Y/N's words.

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast started reacting to it.

"As expected of Sister Y/N, she's never mainstream."

"Sister Y/N, don't be modest, you're a trendsetter!"

"What is Y/N being arrogant for? Count herself lucky that Ji-eun is talking to her."

"I personally think that Y/N has gone overboard. This is a formal event, after all."

The emcee this time was clearly smarter than the one at the last press conference Y/N attended. However, the questions he asked were truly annoying.

"Y/N, previously you starred in 'Female Fortress Leader' while Ji-eun starred in 'Islander', and there seemed to be some conflict between the crew of both productions. Have you ever contacted Ji-eun in private? What's your opinion of her?"

Y/N leaned against the seat rest, took a sip of water, and answered calmly, "So-so, there's no reason for us to contact."

She was extremely arrogant and she didn't cut Ji-eun any slack at all.

Ji-eun and even the emcee felt awkward.

He had also asked the other cast members similar questions and they would all praise the people whom they were asked about. However, when he asked Y/N the same question...

Why did she give a different response?

"Hah, is there some conflict between Ji-eun and Y/N?"

"She's not fit to have a conflict with me."

Y/N's answer was cool.

Ji-eun secretly clenched her fist, feeling extremely annoyed.

'Is that b*tch Y/N out to make things difficult for me?'

'You're just in an ambiguous relationship with Kai. Once he's sick of you, I shall see how arrogant you can be.'

Ji-eun glanced at Dia with an aggrieved look.

Dia hated Y/N in the first place as she felt that a graduate of a lousy university did not deserve to act in 'Female Fortress Leader'. Rumor had it that Director Chen had specially reserved the role of Heo Hwang-ok for Y/N.

'What right does she have to deserve that?'

Dia grabbed the microphone and said sarcastically, "Y/N, Ji-eun is your senior after all. By being so arrogant and disregarding her, aren't you afraid that it will backfire in the future?"

Y/N glanced at her coldly.

"We all belong to the same crew and Sister Ji-eun hopes that we can get along well peacefully in the next few months. Yesterday, Ji-eun invited you to dinner but you turned her down and even insulted her in front of everyone. Today... it's the press conference to announce the official start of filming and yet, you refuse to do me the favor."

Apart from the reporters, the remaining audience below the stage were all fans who were permitted entry after some selections. At this moment, Ji-eun's fans had already started clamoring.

On the other hand, Y/N remained seated quietly. She was particularly silent.

"Okay, Dia, cut it out. Y/N might have some misunderstanding with me because of Jimin."

Y/N finally asked, "What could I have gotten wrong about you? Did I mistakenly think that you're pretentious or is it a misunderstanding that you're still clinging onto Jimin even though he obviously dislikes you?"

Ji-eun's eyes immediately reddened and she sobbed while looking at Y/N. "Y/N, we're now at the press conference. There's still a live broadcast going on online. Please simmer down for Director Chen's sake. If you're displeased with me, you may let me know in private."

Ji-eun's fans became more and more excited.

Lee Dong-wook had given Chen Keyi a precautionary notice about Y/N, whose roguish personality he was familiar with.

Hence, Chen Keyi remained calm in his seat but some of the younger actress couldn't tolerate it any longer.

They had never seen such an arrogant person.

However, the reporters and emcee seemed to be too scared to say anything after what she had done.

"Y/N, you've gone overboard. Director Chen asked you to play the role of the supporting role because he thinks that you're very versatile but that does not give you the rights to be arrogant. Everyone here managed to clinch their respective roles after putting in a lot of effort. Not only did you go through the back door, you're even shamelessly thinking that you're a big deal, huh?"

Y/N stretched lazily, suddenly got up and walked towards the spot behind Dia.

"You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Y/N kicked her chair forcefully and snapped, "I couldn't be bothered to argue with you because we're at the press conference, but it seems you're courting death, huh?"

Dia jerked forward because of the inertia and after her chest was slammed hard against the table in front of her, she was in so much pain that she broke out into cold sweat.
