Yani secretly clenched her fists. "I... Heh, he just told me that he saw you at the bar but I don't know the specific details. However, I believe that you did everything for the sake of improving your future career prospects so as to repay the company and Mr. Kim."

Y/N didn't retort either. Instead, she looked at the reporters and said, "Did you hear that? She knows everything that I had done that day. From now on, Yani is my spokesperson. If you have any questions, just ask her instead. It has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she brashly pushed away the people who were stopping away.

She knew that Yani would definitely add fuel to the fire and throw shade at her as much as possible.

However, it no longer mattered.

'This woman won't be able to stay smug for long.'

It was the launch for a famous luxury brand after all. Y/N immediately saw Jimin who was seated in the first row.

Jimin waved at her with a radiant smile.

At the thought of the photos that Jungkook had shown her, Y/N glowered at Jimin hostilely before taking a seat at her designated seat.

She was seated very far apart from Jimin. It seemed to be a deliberate seating arrangement.

As soon as he saw Y/N taking her seat, Jimin's face turned sullen.

He got up and was just about to leave his seat when a staff member nearby discovered him.

"Jimin, are you going to the bathroom?"

Jimin looked at the staff with some disgust, "I'm going to look for my woman, got a problem with that?"

"I'm sorry, unless you're going to the bathroom, please don't walk around casually. Jimin, I seek your cooperation."

Jimin gritted his teeth and glared at the staff viciously.

'They must be doing this on purpose because they're jealous that I like Little pepper!'

Yani's seat was right next to Y/N. The person on her other side was the actress who was slapped by Y/N in the lounge yesterday.

Being sandwiched in the middle of the both of them, Y/N could sense the hostile gazes that were being cast at her.

She touched her nose helplessly and took out her phone to play some video games.

"Sister Y/N, what game are you playing?" Yani suddenly inched closer and continued, "It looks so fun. Sister Y/N, can you teach me? I won't get the chance to learn from you anymore after you leave TG Entertainment."

At this point, Yani deliberately looked dejected.

'F***!'

Y/N glared at her and snapped, "Shut your trap, don't disturb me when I'm playing my game."

Yani murmured with an awkward expression, "Sister Y/N, I..."

Y/N glowered at her menacingly, "Shut up, bitch, can't you understand simple English?"

Seeing this, the actress interjected, "Duh, dogs can't understand English in the first place."

Y/N suddenly laughed and pointed at the actress. "Yani, did you hear that? This woman called you a dog."

Yani's face was extremely sullen. Soon, she looked cute and innocent again. "Why are you scolding me? I didn't offend you at all!"

"I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just got tricked by Y/N."

She also realized that something was wrong with her words after she said it. She initially just wanted to mock Y/N for being uncultured.

'Damn it, I got tricked.'

At this juncture, Jisso slowly walked out from behind the curtain amidst the melodious sounds of the piano.

She was clad in a dark green satin dress with her hair tied up into a bun on the back of her head. Her makeup was retro and she looked dignified and elegant.

Many people exclaimed in amazement.

"It's no wonder she's from a wealthy family. Jisso is so classy."

"Her skin looks so tender, I'm so envious!"

"She's the true winner of life. She was born into a family of scholars and she got to marry into the Kim Family right after she graduated. She even established her own fashion label that has developed to where it is now."

"Exactly. I've always thought that she's better than Second Young Madam Kim. All Second Young Madam Kim did was invest in a movie that became a blockbuster. It was all by fluke."

"I've always felt that things like investing depend largely on luck. Second Young Madam Kim just got lucky but Jisso is different. She built her career with her own capabilities."

Y/N was slightly annoyed and she glanced at the people behind her in displeasure.

'You're just lucky! Your family survived because of luck! I obviously made it with my own abilities, okay?'

'If I didn't have good judgment, Lee Dong-wook wouldn't have been able to clear his name and return to the film industry! If I hadn't attracted Jimin with my charisma, would Jimin have come to act in that movie?'

'Besides, I'm going to open a fortress!'

Y/N had always felt that she should be more open-minded as a bandit leader and the head of the Black Cloud Fortress, and not stoop so low to their level.

However, some people just like to challenge her and bring death upon themselves.

For example, Yani was beside her.

"Thank you all for attending SY's new product launch. The designs of this collection were inspired by my sister-in-law," Jisso said as she took a quick glance at Y/N. Her voice was very gentle, elegant, and ladylike. "I believe you should have guessed that I'm referring to Taehyung's wife who's very pretty and my muse. I got lots of inspiration from her."

The people present praised the daughters-in-law of the Kim Family for sharing a close relationship and for helping the scions manage the family well.

In fact, only Y/N knew that it was a good thing that she didn't cause trouble for the Kims.

'Manage the Kim Family? Impossible. Never in this life will I do that.'

Now that she had Taehyung's black card, she just wanted to squander away some money.

Jisso made a long speech and almost every single thing she said was related to her sister-in-law.

"I hope that SY's spokesperson for the next season can be someone whose elegance matches my sister-in-law. We've already found our new international spokesperson and we'll be announcing who she is after the launch."

Yani immediately sat upright with her chin slightly raised and her eyes full of confidence.

'It's me, I'm really the chosen one! I've just debuted recently but I've already clinched the global endorsement for SY. My career is definitely going to be smoother and smoother in the future!'

Yani couldn't help but look at Y/N. 'How can this woman compare to me?'

'As long as I pull some tricks and play the sympathy card with my fans, all the problems will be solved.'

Y/N could already tell that Yani was being conceited.

'Go ahead, continue being conceited, you'll explode later.'

As soon as Jisso left the stage, the first model had already walked out.

She was a local female model who had a good reputation internationally. She could be considered the idol of countless young girls in the nation.

The clothes were in a variety of shades of colors and each piece was gorgeous.

Jisso was really talented in designing as she had a perfect grasp of knowledge about 'beauty and had completely combined all the elements that women liked.

At the end of the launch, the hall was filled with thunderous applause and the lights kep shining.

Yani's chest heaved up and down and she was staring at the runway with a blazing gaze. SY was a popular brand that many paid attention to.

'Soon, I'll become the spokesperson of this brand. Soon, I'll appear on the international fashion magazines!'

"Don't rejoice too soon, your saliva is about to drip onto your chest," Y/N suddenly said.

Yani glanced at her from sideways and said, "Sister Y/N, you don't have to be too envious of me. You're involved in a huge scandal now and you can barely save yourself. The brand will never dare to consider you to be their spokesperson!"

"You're crazy." Y/N rolled her eyes.

Yani couldn't wait for the new spokesperson to be announced and couldn't be bothered to argue with Y/N.

She simply smiled at Y/N smugly.

Jisso changed into another set of clothes and walked towards the runway. She had also untied her bun and let her hair down, making her look much gentler.

"That's the end of the launch of this season's collection. Next, we will be announcing the new spokesperson." At this point, Jisso deliberately paused for a long time.

Yani's agent had already started to pay Yani's fans to publicly congratulate her on becoming SY's spokesperson.

Yani grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and stared at Jisso.

The other actress also seemed to be extremely nervous.

Y/N was the only one who wasn't nervous at all. In fact, she even stretched her back in a not-so-graceful manner.

"I'm so glad that the spokesperson of this season is also dressed in a gown from SY's haute couture collection of last year, and it's the one and only piece in this world!"

Yani got even more excited.

Her manager had informed her that they had gone through painstaking efforts to rent the dress she was wearing, which was said to be a bespoke piece that was usually not available for rent.

When Jisso looked in Y/N's direction, everyone naturally felt that she was looking at Yani.

Yani herself felt the same way too.

She slowly stood up with one hand over her chest and bowed to Jisso who was on the stage before saying with a radiant smile on her face, "Mrs. Kim, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, I will certainly do my best to promote SY."

Jisso nodded at Yani politely but she soon shifted her gaze onto Y/N. "Miss Y/N, I'm very pleased to announce that you've become the spokesperson for next season's collection. I hope that we'll have a pleasant cooperation in the upcoming year."

Y/N had always been nice to Jisso and she stood up to thank her very politely.

The smile on Yani's face stiffened and she froze in place, feeling as if her head was about to explode.

'What? Y/N? SY's next spokesperson is actually Y/N? How is it possible? Y/N's reputation is so horrible now that she's about to be boycotted. How did she get chosen?'

The audience was stunned and they stared at Y/N with their mouths wide open in shock while the reporters kept snapping photos of Jisso and Y/N incessantly.

"Miss Y/N, is it convenient for you to come with me to sign the contract now?"

"Sure."

As soon as Y/N left her seat, Yani suddenly interjected with reddened eyes and a pitiful look on her face.

"Mrs. Kim, is there any misunderstanding? How can the spokesperson be Y/N?"

Jisso questioned with displeasure, "What do you mean? Why can't it be her?"

"I...I mean... She's now deeply involved in a social escort scandal. Hasn't SY always attached great importance to the reputation and character of the spokesperson? Mrs. Kim, the decision you've made will affect the future development of SY!"

'Is Yani crzy? Even if her persona is that of a young and ignorant fool, she can't just question Jisso like that in front of so many people, right? Besides, this is a global live broadcast that the everyone and their mother are watching!'

Jisso said with a faint smile, "Of course, the first thing we consider when choosing a spokesperson for SY is her reputation and character."

Yani breathed a sigh of relief as she merely assumed that Jisso wasn't aware of the controversy revolving around Y/N lately. "Well, Mrs. Kim, are you still..."

"Miss Y/N has assisted the police in cracking several cases and she likes helping those in need while getting rid of evil. I don't think there's anything wrong with her."

"Mrs. Kim, you may not know this yet, but she was pictured getting drunk with a few senior executives of various large corporations, and subsequently leaving with them. Well..."

"Oh." Jisso nodded and continued, "With my years of experience as a fashion designer, the person in those photos should not be Miss Y/N."

Yani's heart skipped a beat. 'Has the matter been exposed?'

"According to the ratio, the woman in the photos is obviously a few centimeters shorter than Miss Y/N and a little chubbier. She has chunkier thighs than Y/N who is slimmer and has better proportions."

At this point, Jisso smiled and said, "Miss Yani, do you have any more questions?"

Yani was stunned by Jisso's words and she parted her lips but couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"I..."

All of a sudden, there was a huge uproar.

It was a well-known fact that outstanding fashion designers can tell someone's measurements just by judging with their naked eye. Besides, Jisso was an internationally renowned fashion designer whom many wealthy women, socialites, nobles, and even royals had engaged her to create custom pieces for themselves!

That just meant that the person in the photos wasn't Y/N since Jisso said so.

Jisso suddenly said, "But the person in those photos does look very much like you, Miss Yani. Could it be that you're that person?"

Yani's heart tensed up and her palms began to get sweaty. With some panic in her eyes, she coughed twice and said, "How...how is that possible? I've never even been to a bar before, how could I have accompanied those bigwigs to drink?"

"Is that so?" Jisso smiled and nodded. "Okay, I understand. Miss Y/N, please move backstage, we may sign the contract now."

Although Yani vehemently denied it, many people began sizing her up and some even compared the photos to her.

They suddenly realized that there was indeed a canny resemblance.

Yani knew that many people were beginning to suspect her so she quickly left the venue to call her manager on the phone.

'Just how did Y/N get so lucky? Why is there always someone to protect her wherever she goes?'

'Jisso was obviously trying to clear Y/N's name and at the same time, get me into trouble. No, I can't let things continue developing in this direction.'

Feeling extremely anxious, she hurriedly called Bo young. Unfortunately, Bo young's number had been engaged for a long time.

In the resting room backstage, Y/N wrapped her arm around Jisso's affectionately and said with a wide grin on her face. "Jisso, I realized that I'm falling in love with you more and more as each day passes. I really want to marry you!"

Jisso chided, "Nonsense, I don't want Taehyung to hate me."

"It's none of his business. Jisso, you may not know but Doggy Taehyung is destined to be alone forever."

Jisso had long gotten used to Y/N's habit of calling Taehyung 'Doggy Taehyung'.

'Y/N has got such a great personality which makes her very attractive.'

'She's so unrestrained, carefree, bubbly, straightforward, and genuine. She is honest with her feelings and will never force herself to do things that she doesn't like to do.'

'Maybe that's why I'm so envious of her ability to set herself free and just follow her heart.'

That was the reason Jisso liked being around Y/N a lot.

"Y/N, sometimes I always feel that you don't belong to this world. Instead, you should be living in a place with absolute peace and serenity."

'You mean Black Cloud Fortress? It's indeed quite peaceful there. Life is enjoyable even though we struggle to make ends meet and have to stay hungry during wintertime.'

"Jisso, let's live such a life together."

"Stop playing."

Jisso grazed her fingertip lightly against the tip of Y/N's nose and said with an affectionate gaze, "I don't know if what I'm about to tell you will be of any help to you but Y/N, that person in those photos is Yani without a doubt. What do you plan to do next?"

Y/N's smile faded and she said, "Of course, I'll pay her back in her own way."

If she guessed correctly, Yani would be trying to gain sympathy again soon.

As expected...

The statement that Jisso made to deny the allegations that Y/N was the woman in those photos became a viral topic that everyone was currently discussing on the internet.

There were generally two schools of thought; one of which was Y/N's fans who were supporting her and insisting that Yani was the person in those photos.

The other was Yani's fans who claimed that Yani was extremely pitiful for having to take the blame just because she resembled Y/N.

On the second day of the launch, the official account of SY released the first promotional photo of Y/N and Yani began to create trouble.

This time, she had a huge plan.

Three minutes after the photos were released, a long post was uploaded on Instagram and it sounded extremely silly.

Well, at least in Y/N's opinion, it was very silly.

[@Yani: I really don't understand why someone whose reputation has been tarnished so badly, can still have the cheek to vie with me for the chance to become the spokesperson. I was already set to become the spokesperson but there was a sudden change in decision. It's obvious that someone used her connections with a powerful backer to get herself the deal, isn't it? I may lack experience in this society and I'm personally quite a withdrawn person who doesn't socialize much with others but at least, I can hold my head high and say proudly that I've never done anything against my conscience. I can't stomach this at all. What right does she have to steal something that should have rightfully belonged to me? Is it just because she's more famous but lousier than me? But it doesn't matter. I just have to work harder and when I reach a certain height, no one will be able to do this to me again.]

[Yani, press on!] There was a photo of an adorable doll cheering, attached to that comment.

There were many shocking topics on the hot search list.

"Yani Seemingly Accuses Y/N Of Snagging Endorsement Deal Through Personal Connections"

"Yani reveals the truth"

"SY officially cooperates with Y/N"

Yani posted several statements on Instagram in a single day, as if she was ranting on her private account.

That was the reason that her fans often praised her for being pure and straightforward enough to post her genuine thoughts online.

At this moment, Yani's fans had started defending her and many online media accounts had begun influencing everyone else by criticizing Y/N for being unrepentant and even snatching away Yani's endorsement deal.

Y/N once again received flak from all the netizens on the Internet.

After switching off her cell phone and stifling a yawn, Y/N stood up from the couch sluggishly. She then started doing some stretching exercises.

"Second Sister-in-law, do you really not need me to fire Yani?" Kai asked anxiously, thinking that it was his time to shine.

"Fire her? What for? I haven't had enough fun yet," Y/N said viciously with a sullen expression. When she looked at Jisso, she immediately said with a sweet smile, "Jisso, tell me how I should deal with Yani and I'll do it accordingly."

Kai nodded quietly with a stiffened expression.

'This is heartbreaking. Why is there differential treatment? Jennie, I need you here.'

He discovered that except Jennie, Y/N was particularly nice to all women who had never offended her before, especially Jisso!

"Quickly dispose of her. If this drags on, the more arrogant she will get. Who knows what nonsense she might get up to in the future? I'll have the PR representative of SY to release an official statement later."

Y/N nodded her head particularly obediently.

Soon, the official statement of SY was released and it was stated clearly that SY had never intended to cooperate with Yani. They also clarified that they had already reached an agreement with Y/N to make her the spokesperson, on the very same day of the audition, thus debunking the allegations that Y/N had snatched the endorsement deal from Yani.

They even released a video containing the recordings of Y/N's and Yani's respective auditions.

There was soon an uproar in the comments section.

[I never knew the difference between them until there was a comparison. Y/N's performance was an absolute 10/10. What's up with Yani's retarded smile? I'm suddenly glad that Yani didn't become the new spokesperson for SY.]

[Dear actress who only knows to associate herself with Sister Y/N, please let Sister Y/N off. She's just a new actress who rose to fame, she's not worth your attention! Sister Y/N has always been aboveboard and she can easily get what she wants just by beating you up. There's no need for her to resort to scheming tricks.]

[Yani is going to be thoroughly embarrassed this time. I almost believed her when I saw her posts on Instagram and the selfie of herself crying, it really won my sympathy. But even if Y/N doesn't have a good reputation now, that's not a valid reason to smear and falsely accuse her.]

[Hah, both Y/N and Little Y/N are just as problematic and controversial.]

In the lounge of TG Entertainment, Yani tossed her phone aside in ager and barked, "What's going on? What should I do now? I don't want to be marred by this, quick guys, help me!"

Her tone was completely commanding.

​The assistant director and the manager looked at each other, both feeling displeased with Yani's attitude.

"Yani, it's not because you're too impulsive, we know whether Y/N snatched the endorsement deal away from you or not. You were just inviting trouble for yourself by posting that on Instagram."

The deputy director frowned and glared at Yani with some displeasure.

At that time, he saw Yani and signed her on as an artiste because he saw the striking resemblance between her and Y/N so he thought that she could follow Y/N's style.

As the deputy director, he certainly knew that Y/N had some say in front of Kai.

Unfortunately, Y/N's attitude towards him had always been hostile.

Now, he even felt that he might have shot himself in the foot.

"I'm telling the truth, everyone was complimenting me on the day of the audition, and Mrs. Kim even said that my side profile and gaze resembles Second Young Madam Kim!"

"Even then, you shouldn't have posted something like that on the Internet. Great, see how many haters you've got."

Yani was only 18 years old after all. The thought of the negative comments about her that were displayed on the electronic tablet that the deputy director had handed over made tears well up in Yani's reddened eyes. She was really anxious and terrified this time.

"Deputy director, what should I do? I-I didn't do it on purpose. I'll just delete that statement I posted just now. I don't want to be the subject of controversy and get slammed by everyone. Quickly think of a solution for me, guys!"

The deputy director had expected better from her. "What's the point of deleting it? I warned you long ago not to post things online indiscriminately without thinking but look what you've done. You turned a deaf ear to my words, didn't you? Now, all you can do is continue framing Y/N and make sure her scandals take the attention away from your controversy. Otherwise, you just have to continue bearing with the scolding!"

After saying that, the deputy director left the lounge in a rage.

Yani sat on the sofa distractedly and when she suddenly thought of something, she quickly picked up her cell phone, only to realize that she had received another message.

It was from Bo young.

She quickly tapped on the message to open it as if she had found her saviour. However, she realized that there was nothing in the text except the name of a hotel and a hotel room number.

Yani thought about it and decided to go over.

Y/N was waiting for Yani to make a big move.

With her years of experience in dealing with pretentious women, she reckoned that Yani would definitely pull a big move to make others hate her and cause her career to be entirely ruined.

The new year was approaching and Kim Jae wook would be returning tomorrow so everyone in the Kim Family's manor was extremely busy.

It was bright and sunny today, the first time since winter began. Y/N grabbed a large coat belonging to Taehyung and wrapped herself in it while basking under the sun in the garden.

Jennie served a glass of milk tea to Y/N, which was quite thoughtful of her. "Second Sister-in-law, Yani is still making a fuss on the Internet. Shouldn't you go over and yank her hair before giving her a thorough beating?"

"I'll do that sooner or later, there's no rush." Y/N smiled and took the milk tea. "Jennie, how many times have you been in love?"

Jennie blinked with some confusion. "Once. Just once and yet I fell in love with a scumbag."

Jennie was sure that she would never be loved again in this lifetime.

'Uwu, am I going to end up dying alone like Third Brother will?'

"With those puny brains of yours, it's impossible for you to meet any excellent bachelors. Once I rebuild the Black Cloud Fortress, I promise you'll have a variety of good men to choose from."

Y/N patted her chest and said with extraordinary confidence.

'Black Cloud Fortress?'

"Second Sister-in-law, what's the Black Cloud Fortress? Where is that place?"

Pretending to be mysterious, Y/N said, "It's the most suitable place for you to get a boyfriend. When the time comes, I'll charge you at a membership price of just 100,000 Won."

Jennie immediately got excited. "Will I really be able to get a boyfriend? Does it work?"

Y/N patted her chest and said, "Duh, I'll be doing it myself. How can there be any problems?"

'Is Second Sister-in-law planning to start a side hustle?'

Jennie rubbed her hands together and approached Y/N with a fawning smile. "Second Sister-in-law, I have to support your new business? Do you need a business partner? I can invest."

'Huh? Jennie wants to be the deputy leader?'

Y/N scanned Jennie from head to toe and shook her head. "You can't make it."

Jennie's face turned sullen immediately. "Why not? Second Sister-in-law, I have more than 10 million Won in savings. How about I invest all of it? I'm not expecting much, I just want to be a shareholder in name."

'She has more than 10 million Won... That should be enough for refurbishing the garden.'

Y/N hesitated for a long time before saying with great difficulty, "Okay, since you're the youngest among your siblings, you can be the fourth in command."

"Fourth in command? Second Sister-in-law, are you going to be a bandit?"

"You got a problem with that?"

'Is Second Sister-in-law really planning to be a bandit?'

Jennie felt that Y/N was still immersed in her character as Gyeong-ae and that she was still treating herself as a female fortress leader!

"This is a secret, if I find out that you spread the word..." Y/N muttered, swiping her hand across her neck.

Jennie nodded profusely.

"Bring it here."

Staring at Y/N's outstretched hand, Jennie blinked in confusion. "What do you want?"

"Money, duh!?! Do you expect me to give you the position of the fourth leader in command for free?"

"Fine, Second Sister-in-law, wait a moment while I go get the money!"

She received a call from Kai at this time.

Y/N began to consider whether to chop Kai's hand off or not.

"If you have something to say, you'd better hurry up. If you end up saying nonsense to me, I'll castrate you when you come back."

Kai shuddered before saying, "Second Sister-in-law, you made it to the hot search list again."

Y/N asked calmly, "Haven't I always been on the hot search list?"

She had been on the hot search list for several days and gained many haters too. Her number of haters was about to surpass her true fans.

"No, it's a new topic and it has gotten worse this time. Someone exposed you and claimed that you checked into a hotel room with the boss of a certain company.

'Huh?'

Y/N hung up right away and checked the Internet, only to realize that the news of her allegedly checking into a hotel room with a certain realty magnate had made it to the top of the hot search list. Once again, the angle from which the photo was taken had been deliberated to make the woman in the photos look just like her.

Besides, the woman was behaving intimately with that man and in one of the photos, they were sharing a kiss in the corridor.

Y/N touched the tip of her nose. 'Yani is so young but so loose. She sleeps with just any man."

"Second Sister-in-law, that definitely isn't you," said Jennie who was at the side.

Y/N rolled her eyes at her. "Of course it isn't."

'Is this what Yani came up with after such a long time? I thought that she's really impressive. Apart from pretending and creating rumors, can she still think of anything better?'

She could already imagine how the netizens were scolding her for an entire night.

Yani appeared very quickly.

[@Yani: Sister Y/N, are you still trying to malign me? Sister Y/N, there isn't a feud between us, why do you keep targeting me? I really haven't been to a bar before. Since I was a child, my parents have always taught me to be obedient and to be honest, I've never disappointed my parents before.]

After posting that on Instagram, Yani uploaded another video of her teacher praising her when she was in school.

It was quite childish of her to do that.

Y/N quietly shared that post again. 'Get lost, fool.'

When Yani saw Y/N's reply, she didn't get angry and instead became even more conceited.

"Y/N must have let anger rule her head. Why would she post something on Instagram now? That's asking for trouble."

'I just need to shed some tears and I believe more people will hate Y/N.'

Yani had indeed done so. Almost all the netizens were speaking up for her and took pity on her for being associated with Y/N because of her title 'Little Y/N'.

TG Entertainment had already received many death threats that were sent to Y/N.

Kai "considerately" brought those letters of threats back home so that Y/N could have a look at them.

The threats in some of the letters were indeed quite terrifying, similar to those in horror movies.

After reading each letter, Y/N would throw them into a burner and burn them into ashes. When the last letter was burnt, she stretched her back and picked up her cell phone again.

[@BanditLeader: Yani, I'll give you one last chance. You either personally apologize for this matter and we'll put it to rest or, we'll meet in court. Okay?]

[Y/N is really maniacal. She's already receiving so much hate and she still has the guts to threaten Yani. Poor Yani.]

[This woman is really terrible, she even threatened to file a lawsuit. Is she not going to give up until she's arrested and put behind bars herself?]

[Wow, incredible, Y/N is the most impressive person in this world.]

Yani waited for a long time before replying in a tone that was still full of naivety.

[@Yani: Sister Y/N, I'm just telling the truth. You have a long way ahead of you in life and it's not too late to turn over a new leaf now. As your fellow colleague and junior, I sincerely hope that everything will go well for you.]

She was so bitchy and disgusting.

Y/N sent the surveillance footage of Yani that Jun-ho had provided her with, straight to the PR department of the company without hesitation.

The PR department immediately contacted Kai.

At this moment, Kai was seated right opposite Y/N.

After carefully looking at Y/N, he pressed the loudspeaker button of his cell phone and the PR department staff member began to speak.

"Mr. Kim, Y/N has just sent us the surveillance footage of what happened in the bar that night. The person in the footage is Yani. Mr. Kim, shall we release the video to the public?"

Kai had been observing Y/N's expression. "Of course, we have to do that."

"But... Mr. Kim, Yani is very smart and she knows how to use public opinion to garner support for herself. Over time, she will definitely surpass Y/N, Mr. Kim, it's really unnecessary to expose her..."

Kai suddenly yelled into the phone furiously, "Since I told you to release it, just do as I say! Am I the boss or are you the boss?"

The PR department staff member hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'll get to it right now."

After hanging up, Kai smiled and looked at Y/N. "Second Sister-in-law, it's been hard on you, I will solve this matter as soon as possible."

Y/N humphed coldly without saying anything.

"Where's Taehyung?" Jisso looked around. "It's been a whole day, how come I haven't seen Taehyung yet?"

"He should still be at the office."

In Jisso's opinion, Taehyung should have stepped in this time to protect Y/N because she was his wife.

In less than ten minutes, TG Entertainment released an official statement.

[@TG Entertainment: Regarding the recent scandal of our artist Y/N, our company declares that the people photographed in those pictures have nothing to do with Y/N. In order to protect her reputation, we will not hesitate to take legal action against those who continue to slander and smear Y/N.]

They then uploaded the surveillance footage of the incident at the bar immediately afterward.

In the video, the woman dressed in racy clothes was coaxing several men at a time and she was obviously experienced in doing so.

Her side profile was pretty and indeed very similar to that of Y/N's.

However, when she turned around and the camera captured the view of her face from the front, the video came to a stop. It was Yani.

There was a huge uproar on the Internet less than half an hour after the footage was released.

Y/N and Yani's fans were extremely agitated and they occupied the comments section of almost all the websites.

[Sister Y/N is so pitiful. Why do all demons pester her?]

[Finally, we have some evidence to back us up. I've been staying loyal to the female bandit leader's camp, and I will never leave.]

[My brains must have been fried, how did I end up becoming a fan of such a pretentious and scheming bitch like Yani? Ugh! Yuck! Y/N, I take back my words and I'd like to direct all the hateful comments I've made about you, to Yani instead. From now on, I'm a member of your bandit lair too.]

[Wow, wow, impressive. Yani is really scheming. She kept claiming to be an innocent young girl who barely has any experience in this world. I think we're the innocent ones because we were so gullible that we fell for your bullshit!]

[Yani is mad impressive. At the end of the day, it turns out to all be an act that she had staged and put on herself. Miss Yani has probably forgotten that she rose to fame, all because of Y/N's clout. Anyway, I only know Y/N and the role of Gyeong-ae that she played. What role did Yani play to make her think that she can be so smug?]

Yani was slammed incessantly for hours and she had no choice but to turn off the comments function on her page.

In a famous apartment of Seoul, Yani smashed the glass cups on the table in a fit of anger. While feeling anxious and furious, she asked, "Sister Mei, what should we do now? Is it too late for me to apologize? I don't want to leave the entertainment industry, I had a hard time clinching the contract with TG Entertainment."

Lin Mei was just as distraught and helpless. She chided Yani with disappointment, "Who told you to act so recklessly? Haven't you learned a lesson from the drinking accident previously? How dare you check into a hotel room with another man?"

"I-I was just angry. Sister Mei, can you help me look for Madam Park? At that time, you were the one who told me what she was looking for me!"

Yani tugged Lin Mei's sleeve in panic and said sobbingly, "Sister Mei, I've only just turned eighteen years old. I'm still young, I can't lose my reputation because of this. Please think of a way, please help me find Madam Park, will you?"

In the beginning, Lin Mei thought that Yani had great potential to become a star because she was scheming and very competitive. Besides, her resemblance to Y/N would make her newsworthy.

However, she didn't expect Yani to have ruined her own career shortly after her debut.

If not for the fact that Yani was an actress under her management, Lin Mei would have just ignored her.

"Fine, I'll call Madam Park. Think carefully about how you're going to handle this matter."

Yani nodded profusely. "Yes, yes, Mei, you must help me."

Lin Mei sighed. "I will think of a solution."

She tried to call Bo young several times but to no avail. In the end, Bo young even switched off her phone.

"Y/N, we can't just contact Madam Park easily as and when we please. How about you record a video of yourself apologizing to Y/N? As long as you're sincere, a tenth of the people who hate you now will probably stop doing so."

'Only a tenth? So little?'

Yani was in disdain. Besides, the person who caused her to end up in such a state was Y/N, to begin with. Hence, she couldn't stomach the idea of apologizing to Y/N.

"Yani?" Lin Mei was displeased to see how hesitant Yani was. "That's the only solution at hand. You either follow my plan or find a scandal that can take the attention away from you. Do you think you can find one?"

Yani bit her lip and looked at Lin Mei with tears in her eyes. "Sister Mei, is there no other solution apart from this?"

Lin Mei shook her head and said, "There really isn't anything else we can do."

'Another scandal?'

Yani's eyes lit up and she suddenly said to Lin Mei with a smile, "Okay, Mei, I got it. Give me some time to think in peace. Don't you have something else to do? Go ahead."

"Will you be alright on your own?" Lin Mei asked.

Yani shook her head and said, "I'll be fine, I just want to be alone. Don't worry Mei, I will apologize."

After hearing that, Lin Mei heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Mei's relative had introduced Yani to her so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to ditch Yani.

As soon as Lin Mei left, Yani walked into her bedroom with a bizarre and sinister smile on her face. After dripping some eye drops into her eyes, she squatted down in the corner and raised her cell phone to begin recording a video.

Y/N had just returned from the mountain. As soon as she got home, Jennie scurried over with an electronic tablet.

"Second Sister-in-law, Yani has really resorted to all means to clear her name."

Jennie remarked as she found the video.

Y/N immediately saw Yani slitting her own wrist with a knife in the video.

There seemed to be plenty of blood but being an experienced member of society, Y/N could tell at a glance that the blood was fake and her wound was just a prop.

Since Yani was an actress, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get hold of those things.

Yani's retarded, hardcore fans had already started to take pity on her.

In the video, Yani had turned as pale as a sheet and was leaning against the corner of a wall while staring at her phone screen feebly. "I am Yani, and I would like to apologize to Sister Y/N for the matter regarding the previous two scandals. The woman in those photos is actually me...but I was forced into doing it too. I'm just a newly debuted actress, how can I defy the orders of my superiors? The deputy director of TG Entertainment's artiste department and my manager, Lin Mei, were the ones who arranged for me to entertain those big bosses. They...they just wanted me to become famous as soon as possible so that they can earn more money... I-I was wrong, I really didn't have a choice..."

At this point, Yani was already weeping uncontrollably. "I-I have one more thing to tell you guys. My manager, Lin Mei, is actually a mistress who's in an illicit affair with the deputy director of our company..."

The length of the video was only about a minute or so but she had revealed all the relevant information within that short period of time.

This time, it was exposed that the person in question of the scandal was Yani and not Y/N. However, Yani claimed that she was forced to do so by the deputy director and her manager.

By doing so, Yani would be able to maintain her image of a pure and innocent girl who had done such a terrible thing only because she had been compelled to.

Y/N clucked her tongue in wonder. "Yani is amazing, I take my hat off to her."

'She's so young but already so scheming and sly. Yani should be born in ancient times, she would make the perfect concubine of an emperor.'

If Yani was born in ancient times, she might have beat everyone else in the harem and become the empress!

If she was the empress, things would have turned out differently.

Y/N sighed.

"Second Sister-in-law, I think Yani is a hypocritical scourge. She's so pretentious."

Y/N gave Jennie a thumbs up. "Good judgment."

Lin Mei was having a meal with the deputy director and she almost vomited blood in anger when she saw Yani's video.

Lin Mei turned pale and kept her eyes fixed on the phone screen. "Yani, you little bitch, you must be tired of living. So much for treating you so well."

The deputy director panicked too. Just as he was about to speak, he received a call from his wife which made him shiver incessantly.

Yani's plan was undeniably quite attractive as many of her fans had begun standing up for her.

[Yani is just an innocent child who got threatened. She's only 18 years old this year. How is she supposed to retaliate? Please let Yani off, she has already apologized.]

[I knew it, Yani wouldn't disappoint us. Yani, don't be scared, now everyone knows about the affair between your manager and the deputy director of TG Entertainment. We'll protect you.]

[It's good to change after learning from your mistakes. Yani, cheer up, you have our support. Just don't repeat the same mistake again, you got Y/N into deep trouble.]

Yani even specifically chose to reply to that comment— [Got it, thank you.]

After thinking about it for a while, Y/N shared the video with the caption "Your video is very interesting but I won't accept your apology."

Yani was a big fat liar whom only fools would believe.

Seeing that she was gradually getting her name cleared, Yani was overjoyed so she obviously wasn't in the mood to bother with Y/N.

'I knew it. I'm made for the entertainment industry.'

After being smug for a short while, a piece of news regarding Yani surfaced out of nowhere again. In an instant, it made the headlines of various websites.

The news was posted by Seoul Daily, which was the newspaper and magazine house that Tzuyu worked for.

It was rare for such a serious newspaper to cover such gossipy news about the entertainment industry.

There were a total of eight photos, each of which was a beautiful editorial shot.

The article was an exposure of Yani's distasteful past.

Since elementary school, Yani had been the school bully and her acts of bullying continued all the way till high school. Many of her classmates had fallen victim to her and she used to hang out with gangsters and delinquents too.

The most exaggerated thing was that in junior high school, she even instigated a delinquent who was in love with her, to beat up a classmate of hers. In the end, the delinquent ended up getting a jail sentence because of it.

In high school, Yani was almost expelled from school because she had gotten into a fight and her parents had to get on their knees and beg the principal not to expel her. Instead, she was put on probation.

Thus, Yani's persona of a good student and her good-girl-image completely collapsed.

The last one was an exposure of Yani having gotten plastic surgery. The hospital where Yani had gone under the knife for cosmetic procedures, personally provided the news publisher with the information. They claimed that Yani had demanded that she wanted her side profile to resemble that of Y/N after the surgery was done.

The series of revelations made everyone flabbergasted and Yani had become the topic of gossip among young people.

[Interesting, this is so interesting. It's even more interesting than watching the destruction of the world!]

[Yani is impressive and even so, impressive is an understatement.]

[This plot twist is as dramatic as that in thrillers and it has completely caught me off guard. Yani's secrets have finally been exposed. Miss Yani, are you happy?]

[This is mindblowing, my heart goes out to those who are still fans of Yani. How does it feel to find out that your idol has been lying all this time and that she has even gone under the knife to look like Y/N? Are you all weeping in the toilet now?]

Immediately afterward, Lin Mei also released a statement to clarify that the entire saga was an act that Yani had planned and put up all by herself. She had also submitted a letter of resignation to the company and said that she would never work in the entertainment industry again.

Lin Mei was a smart person too and she knew that she would never be able to continue staying in the entertainment industry after Yani exposed her.

Yani was all alone at home and she began shuddering in fear when she saw that.

'How did Y/N manage to do that? She has even run a background check on me and found out all these secrets of mine that no one else knows about.'

Recalling the warnings that Y/N had given her previously, Yani began to shiver.

'If I had known earlier, I would have obeyed Y/N. What should I do now? What should I do? Lin Mei has already given up on me.'

However, Yani didn't want to leave the entertainment industry because it was her lifelong dream since she was a child so she had always been reluctant...

Y/N put away her cell phone and looked at Kai smilingly. "When did you find this information about Yani?"

Kai said with confusion, "Huh? I didn't, I don't know anything."

"How is that possible? Aren't you the CEO of TG Entertainment?"

Kai raised three fingers and said, "But I really don't know, I swear the exposure of Yani's past has nothing to do with me."

"Is that so?" Y/N's eyes were filled with some doubt.

It really wasn't me, isn't Seoul Daily the place where your best friend, Miss Chou, works at? Why don't I call them and ask about it..."

While speaking, Kai got ready to make a call but Y/N refuted, "It's alright, Tzuyu doesn't answer calls from strangers. I'll call her instead."

While speaking, she headed to the garden with her cell phone.

Kai stared at Y/N's back. 'How am I considered a stranger? She's had an interview with me before.'

Y/N quickly called Tzuyu and reckoned that she should be picking Mu Mu up from the kindergarten because she could hear the sounds of children cheering for joy.

"Y/N, I have to take Mu Mu to the hospital for a vaccine now. If you have something to talk to me about, can we leave it for later?"

Y/N looked up and said, "You just have to answer one question. Who was the one who provided Seoul Daily with the information about Yani's past?"

Tzuyu quickly answered, "Huh? Didn't your husband send Assistant Wen to personally deliver the document to us?"

'My husband?'

'When do I have...'

'Oh, right, Doggy Taehyung. I'm always forgetting the fact that I'm a married woman now.'

Y/N smacked her forehead.

"So Doggy Taehyung was the one who gave you guys the info?"

"Y/N, Mr. Kim is an esteemed and respectable figure in society. Can you give him another nickname? Does Mr. Kim know that that's how you address him? Didn't he hit you?"

Y/N scoffed in disdain. 'Hit me?'

'What a joke!'

'Why would Taehyung dare to hit me?'

After she hung up, Taehyung happened to arrive home.

Dressed in a perfectly-trimmed suit, he looked just like a refined prince. Y/N thought that he should have gone out to socialize and entertain clients today.

Y/N ignored everything else and rushed over to hug Taehyung tightly. "Mr. Kim, you're back. Shall we begin the treatment now?"

Taehyung's body stiffened and he subconsciously reached out to hold Y/N to prevent her from falling.

Y/N could feel clearly that Taehyung was trembling. She blinked and said with a sultry smile, "Mr. Kim, you actually intervened to help me get rid of a villain. You do deserve a reward, how about an extra kiss today?"

After ensuring that Y/N had regained her balance, Taehyung pushed her away gently. "Darling, please behave yourself in public."

"Behave, my foot!" Y/N started cursing straightaway. "You and I are a married couple and this is our home, Mr. Kim. This is your territory, isn't it normal for us to be loving and show our affection for each other here? Why don't you ask around and see if anyone dares to object?"

"..."

Taehyung knew how sharp-tongued Y/N was.

He decided not to speak anymore.

"That woman is not qualified to pose a threat to you, Darling."

"Duh, she can't even be considered a threat."

Taehyung couldn't be bothered to say anything about her arrogance. "Since she can't even be considered a threat, you don't have to personally deal with her."

Y/N winked at him and said, "Mr. Kim, are you planning to protect me from now on?"

Taehyung pressed his lips together without saying anything. He merely gazed at her with ambiguity.

"It'll be quite expensive to be my escort, Mr. Kim, you'd better be prepared to blow some money."

Taehyung raised his thick eyebrows. 'Haven't I already given her my black card?'

Yani finally managed to contact Bo young and was now kneeling in front of her and begging for help.

"Madam Park, it was your idea to do this in the first place. Madam Park, please help me, your son is a famous actor. As long as he puts in a good word for me, I'll definitely escape scot-free."

Bo young looked at Yani whose makeup was smudged and said with disgust, "It's your business, not mine."

"Madam Park, Madam Park you can't be like this, you were the one who encouraged me to do that. Why is it that you can get away with it unscathed?" Yani gritted her teeth and slowly got up from the ground. Glaring at Bo young with a menacing expression, she said, "I've recorded all our previous conversations, Madam Park. If you can't guarantee that I can escape all responsibility, I'll have no choice but to expose our conversations."

Bo young glared at her with a sinister gaze. 'How dare this damned girl threaten me?'

"The only way you can get out of this scot-free is to leave the entertainment industry for good and go abroad to start afresh. Your disdainful past will forever stay on the Internet, don't think that you can make a comeback."

'Quit the entertainment industry?'

Yani was rather agitated. "Impossible, I will never quit the entertainment industry. It wasn't easy for me to get this far and become so famous in this industry.'

'Famous?'

Bo young sneered. "Your reputation has been tarnished and you're infamous now. I only have one solution for you, and that is to leave the entertainment industry and this city for good."

Yani left with a gloomy expression.

Only then did Bo young pull out her cell phone to make a call to someone. "Help me get something done..."

Although her journey to stardom was full of ups and downs and she had been repeatedly harmed by Yani, Y/N's popularity rose rapidly and she had become one of the most famous actresses at the moment.

She mostly received praises for her happy-go-lucky, candid personality and straightforwardness that was similar to that of a female bandit.

The Kim siblings sat side by side, staring at Y/N who was clinging onto Jisso.

They agreed that Y/N was like a female bandit but they didn't think that she was a happy-go-lucky person.

"Didn't you guys say that Grandpa is coming home today? Why haven't I seen him yet?" Y/N was getting impatient from all the waiting.

"He's probably choosing some gifts. Grandpa would bring each of us a huge gift when he comes home for the New Year each year."

'Gifts? What gifts?'

Y/N's eyes instantly glistened. "Jisso, what did Grandpa give you last year?"

Jisso rolled up her sleeve to reveal the jade bangle she was wearing on her wrist. It was shiny, exquisite, and obviously exorbitant. "This is a gift from Grandpa."

'A jade bangle?'

Jade bangles of superior quality could fetch as much as millions of Won each. Given how rich Kim Jae wook was, Y/N was certain that he wouldn't have bought something cheap.

Y/N looked at Kai and Jennie. "What gifts did you receive last year?"

"Grandpa gave me a sports car. It was my favourite model," Kai said with some smugness.

"Second Sister-in-law, Grandpa gave me a seaside villa that offers an incredible view. I'll take you there when I have the time to do so!"

'Sports car?'

'Villa?'

Y/N was looking forward to her gift more and more.

After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Kim Jae wook.

Y/N stood up and scurried over to hold Kim Jae wook with a sweet smile on her face. "Grandpa, it must have been a tiring journey for you. I've already poured you some hot tea, take a rest first."

Everyone in the room stared at Y/N in confusion.

Taehyung smiled heartily. "As expected of Taehyung's wife, you're so sensible."

Kim Jae wook took his seat and first asked about his grandchildren out of concern. He then instructed Zhang Guoquan to bring his suitcase over.

"The New Year is around the corner, so let's distribute the gifts today."

Hearing his words, Y/N stared at the black suitcase with dazzling eyes.

Kai first took out a car key and handed it directly to Kai. "I know you're a fan of cars. I managed to get you the latest Maybach through a friend, it's really nice."

Kai took the car key and praised Kim Jae wook fawningly.

'Yet another luxurious car! The latest Maybach must cost a bomb.'

Y/N was truly envious.

Jennie's gift was a set of jewelry that Kim Jae wook had just bought at an auction sale, while Seokjin's gift was a handwritten journal written by a famous doctor who had been practicing medicine for decades.

As for Taehyung...he didn't get a gift.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Y/N's turn and she started rubbing her hands eagerly.

Amidst an Y/N's expectant gaze, Kim Xian gave her a stone that was stained with mud but seemed rather shiny.

"Grandpa, we don't lack any stones. There are stones everywhere in the garden."

After taking such a huge blow, Y/N tried her best to maintain her smile.

Kim Xian nodded and said, "I know you don't lack any but this one is larger than any other stone you can find at home. I'm going to go upstairs to rest, you guys go ahead and have fun by yourselves."

'Why is it that the rest of them have received a car and expensive jewelry but all I got was a stupid stone?'

To make matters worse, it was a stone with rough and jagged edges.

As soon as Kim Jae wook left, Jennie approached Y/N eagerly and stared at the stone in her hand. She said with great envy, "Second Sister-in-law, Grandpa is so nice to you, he gave you such an excellent gift."

Y/N stared at the serious expression on Jennie's face and thought, 'Excellent? You call a stupid stone like this excellent? What?'

"If you like it, I'll trade with you," Y/N said, handing her the stone generously.

Jennie's eyes lit up and she nodded profusely. "Sure, sure, Second Sister-in-law, so you like those extravagant jewelry pieces, huh? I'll trade them for your stone!"

Realizing that Y/N seemed to have thought that she had gotten the better end of the deal, Taehyung stood up and said casually when he walked past her, "Darling, this is a piece of unpolished diamond that's valued at roughly at least 200 million dollars."

After saying that, he headed straight to the study.

'200 million... 200 million? At least 200 million?'

Seeing that Jennie's hand was about to reach the stone, Y/N smacked her hand hard. "Get lost, I'm not going to trade with you."

After looking at the back of her hand that had been slapped, she took another glance at Y/N who was carefully making her way upstairs with the diamond in her hands.

'So, Second Sister-in-law, you've toyed with my feelings again, huh?'

Y/N spent the past few nights hugging the diamond to sleep and in order to prevent theft, she even bought herself a safe.

Recently, another big event happened in the entertainment industry. Yani who had been condemned recently, was said to have been arrested for causing the fatal death of an elderly person when drink driving, and had been sentenced to jail.

Y/N couldn't help but sigh.

'I haven't even had the chance to beat up Yani yet. Well, she dug her own grave and has herself to blame for being so scheming.'

'Hah, I even gained so many fans because of her!'

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lunar New Year.

Coincidentally, the first day of the Lunar New Year happened to be on the same day as Y/N's birthday.

It was exceptionally lively in the Kim Family's manor.

At this moment, Y/N was wearing a hot red turtleneck sweater and chatting with Tzuyu at the entrance of the children's playground.

"Y/N, why don't you take the opportunity to star as the female lead in a movie now that you're at the peak of your popularity. Hasn't the filming for 'The Tumultuous Harem' been delayed because of Ji-eun?"

Y/N took a sip of milk tea, stared at the cup, and shook it gently. "I don't need more fame. I have something more important to do now."

In fact, she found filming rather tiring and the only reason she decided to stay in the entertainment industry was that she wanted to help the former original Y/N fulfill her dream of winning the Best Actress award.

She was a little ashamed to be occupying the original owner's body.

"Y/N, I've already become important personnel of your fan club and everyone is planning to put up some fireworks by the river. You're the only person I'm telling this secret to."

Fireworks by the river? For me?'

"Isn't the private display of fireworks without permission banned now?"

Tzuyu waved her hand and said, "There's a vast space by the riverside and a flat dam. We can set off fireworks there. Don't you know that many people do that each year?"

'Uh...'

Y/N felt a little awkward. She covered her mouth and coughed a little before saying, "I'm very busy and I don't have the time to pay attention to such things."

Tzuyu took out an exquisitely wrapped box and said, "This is a gift from me and Mu Mu, happy birthday. Since your birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, it means that you're going to earn loads of money next year!"

Y/N immediately smiled. The was a small ceramic doll that looked rather ugly and had distorted features but overall, it had an artistic vibe.

Staring at the uneven eyes of the doll, Tzuyu explained softly, "Mu Mu and I made this together. It isn't worth much but it's a token of appreciation from us."

"That's very nice of you."

She knew what Tzuyu's financial situation was like. Although Y/N used to be a bandit, she was a person of principle and wouldn't rip others off indiscriminately.

"It's good that you don't mind. Mu Mu and I will be heading home in the afternoon and we won't meet until more than ten days later."

Y/N said, "We don't need to see each other everyday. Go ahead, go have fun."

Tzuyu suddenly sighed and said, "In fact, I don't really want to go home."

"What's the matter?"

"My relatives arranged a blind date for me but I have Mu Mu, and it won't be a good idea for me to get married."

Y/N patted Tzuyu's shoulder and said solemnly, "If nothing works, I'll decide on your behalf. Marry Kai, he's Mu Mu's biological father anyway."

Tzuyu shivered and shook her head immediately. "No, no, I can't. I don't want to be involved with him anymore. Y/N, don't spout nonsense again in the future."

"Tzuyu, why do you hate Kai so much? He may be a playboy, but he's rich! After you marry him, just enjoy life and live in luxury. You don't have to bother about what Kai gets up to out there either. You just need to take his money, what's not to like?"

"We can't be together, Y/N, you don't understand."

Y/N merely thought that Tzuyu purely disliked the fact that Kai was a philanderer.

"Why don't I introduce you to Jungkook, who is handsome, rich and powerful, and not as much of a womanizer as Kai? More importantly, he doesn't let his parents control his life and he's even more domineering than his father. He won't allow you to be mistreated."

Tzuyu was speechless. "Y/N, don't blindly try to set me up with others. You think I don't know that Jungkook is interested in you?"

"But I'm not interested in him!"

Y/N looked really innocent. Besides, she had plenty of suitors.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this, I have to pick up Mu Mu and take him home. My cousin is arriving soon. Y/N, see you after the Lunar New Year."

Y/N waved her hand at Tzuyu and was just about to leave when a very luxurious sports car stopped in front of her.

Y/N covered her face with the scarf and watched coldly as the car window rolled down slowly, revealing Jungkook's handsome face.

"Miss Y/N, I came all the way here to give you a gift. Will you get inside my car?"

'A gift?'

Y/N recalled the auction house that Jungkook ran and decisively opened the door to get inside the car.

It was chilly outside and her hands and feet were cold. As soon as she got inside the car, she felt the warm air wafting up to her face.

Y/N took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what gift do you have for me?"

"I'd like to give myself to you as a present, will you accept me, Miss Y/N?"

'It's no wonder that he's Jimin's half-brother. They're both equally narcissistic.'

Y/N rolled her eyes and said with a look of disgust, "Get lost, I won't accept you."

Jungkook clutched his chest miserably and said, "Miss Y/N, you really broke my heart by saying that."

With folded arms, Y/N said, "Let me ask you then, do you think you're richer than Taehyung?"

Jungkook sulked and had no choice but to admit reluctantly, "Of course not, but he's only a little bit richer than I am. Just a little bit."

Y/N nodded and said, "In that case, you can sell yourself to me only when you become richer than Taehyung."

'Sell me to her? I'm not trying to do that, I'm trying to make you mine.'

Jungkook chuckled wryly and pulled out a cigarette. He lit the cigarette up and said, "Miss Y/N, you're indeed very interesting and I realize that I love you more and more as each day passes. Are you really not going to accept me?"

Y/N asked the driver to stop by the roadside and she pushed open the door to alight. "Sorry, I have to go back and cuddle with Taehyung."

Jungkook's facial expression stiffened.

'Taehyung... Cuddle...'

He decided to call Taehyung.

Taehyung had just finished handling some matters at the office and was about to play a game of chess with Kim Jae wook when his cell phone suddenly began ringing.

Seeing that it was a call from Jungkook, he picked up disdainfully.

Soon, Jungkook said obnoxiously, "Hey cunning fox, guess where your wife is now."

Taehyung did not say anything.

Jungkook understood him well so he continued, "Your little wife actually called you a dog in front of me and said that you're only meant for cuddling."

This time, Taehyung finally spoke up. As he sent down a chess piece in a particularly calm manner, he said, "Yes, it's my pleasure. Well at least, my wife won't say the same about you, nor will she let you cuddle her."

Kim Jae wook couldn't help but look at him when he heard this from across the table.

Taehyung had succeeded in provoking Jungkook again.

'Sly old fox, don't you get too smug, I will beat you one day.'

"Mr. Kim, I think you ought to hear about this. Miss Y/N has just given me a condition and as long as I fulfill it, she will leave you for me."

Taehyung said composedly with a sullen expression, "Oh, work harder then."

After saying that, he hung up without uttering another word.

Kim Jae wook asked with some curiosity, "Was that Jungkook?"

"Yes."

"What's the matter? Hasn't he given up on Y/N yet?"

Taehyung nodded and said, "Mr. Jeon is very resilient."

"Well, that kid Jungkook isn't too bad either. At the very least, he's comparable to you. What if Y/N really changes her mind and decides to get together with him?" At this point, Kim Jae wook glanced at Taehyung mysteriously. "I do have a solution. As long as you and Y/N have a child, you don't have to worry about others coming in between you two."

Taehyung set down another chess piece and said, "Grandpa, I've won. Your suggestion is great, I'm sure Seokjin and Jisso will consider it."

Kim Jae wook sulked. 'Can't you give in to me, rascal?'

When Y/N walked towards the entrance, she received a fund deposit notification from the bank.

Jimin had given her a gift of 100,000 Won for her birthday and Lunar New Year!

Y/N grinned widely. 'Jimin is the most sensible one.'

After putting her phone away, she looked up, only to see that Taehyung was walking the dogs in the garden.

The Kim Family owned two German shepherds which were well-groomed and incredibly expensive.

Y/N had once secretly planned to take those two dogs away and sell them for money but they seemed to have sensed her intentions as they would glower at her ferociously whenever they saw her.

Y/N was a little afraid of dogs because she had once been chased around a patty field by a large dog belonging to a farmer, back in the mountains when she was a kid. Hence, she had developed a phobia since then.

As soon as she inched closer, the two German shepherds began seething and baring their teeth at her.

Y/N resolutely took a few steps back again, "Mr. Kim, it's such a waste to spend a wonderful day like this walking the dogs."

"It's quite boring without you at home, Darling."

Y/N raised her brows. 'Has Doggy Taehyung learned how to flirt?'

"Now that I'm back, how about we continue with your desensitization therapy?"

Taehyung glanced at her and said, "No hurry, let's walk the dogs first."

"What's so great about dogs?" Y/N pointed to the two German Shepherds and continued, "Mr. Kim, don't you think these two dogs are too thin? They don't match the domineering aura of the Kim family."

"Their weight is up to standard, no need for training."

'Doggy Taehyung, you're bent on going against me, huh?'

"It's my birthday today. Since I'm your wife, shouldn't you give in to me, Mr. Kim?"

Taehyung shot her a somewhat puzzled look but nevertheless instructed the servants to take the dogs away.

"Darling, are you afraid of dogs?"

Refusing to admit, Y/N denied, "What a joke, do I seem like the type to be scared of dogs? Mr. Kim, where is my gift?"

She very unashamedly stretched out both her arms.

Taehyung stared at her fair wrists and pursed his thin lips.

"???"

'So Doggy Taehyung didn't even prepare a birthday present for me? Even Jimin is more thoughtful than he is!'

Y/N sulked the entire time during dinner while exuding a dangerous aura. Even Kim Jae wook didn't dare to talk to her.

"What's the matter with Second Sister-in-law? She looks rather upset."

Kai glanced at Jennie and said, "Go ask her and you'll find out."

"..."

She didn't have the guts to do that.

After dinner, Kim Jae wook encouraged Taehyung to accompany Y/N to go for a walk outside because Y/N had stuffed herself with too much food tonight and had to do some walking to aid with her digestion.

Y/N refused at first but when Kim Jae wook gave her a thick red packet that was full of money, she agreed immediately.

They strolled along the river and as they walked, Y/N suddenly remembered that her fans had planned to put up a firework show for her tonight.

Y/N suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at Taehyung who was right beside her. "Mr. Kim, I think you can't even compare to my fans."

Taehyung looked at her.

Y/N said smugly, "My fans are going to give me a great present later. Mr. Kim, keep your eyes wide open and take a good look."

At 9:00 p.m. the resplendent firework show began.

Y/N liked all colors of the rainbow so the fireworks were all colorful and extremely gorgeous.

"Mr. Kim, look at this," Y/N gestured. "This is the fireworks show that my fans have put up for me. Beautiful, isn't it?"

Taehyung nodded along. "Yeah, they're quite pretty."

"It's my first time watching fireworks in real life."

With her head raised, Y/N gazed at the fireworks in the sky with glistening eyes.

There were no such things as fireworks in her previous life and since she transmigrated to this era, she had at most only seen fireworks on TV.

It was the first fireworks show in her life, which was dedicated to her by her fans.

Feeling touched, Y/N handed her cell phone to Taehyung and said, "Mr. Kim, please take a photo of me."
