As If Love Doesn’t Exist

Siyeon had the rug pulled out from under her when she realized that everything in her life was a lie– her parents are not her real parents, her fiance, not really her fiance, and her cousin Eunhye is actually the birth daughter of their household.

Siyeon is resigned to her misfortunes until Eunhye reveals to Siyeon that all of this was planned and orchestrated. Swallowing her tears of anguish, Siyeon makes a fateful wish that brings her 10 years into the past where she may be able to change everything… or can she?

“Yesterday, I heard something quite unusual.”

Jeong Ijun, the second grandson of Chairman Jeong of Baekya Food, the 16th-generation descendant of the Seorae family.

And Kim Siyeon, who had spent 25 years as the fiancée of Jeong Gwi-hyeon, Chairman Jeong’s eldest grandson.

“Although I occasionally inherited useful things like clothes or items my brother used when I was young, inheriting the woman my brother had been with all along is just too much.”

He knew exactly where to prod to make Siyeon feel uncomfortable, and he was making full use of that knowledge.

“So, you just need to come to terms with the fact that you can’t marry the man you’ve always thought of as a younger brother, and take him as your husband for a lifetime.”

He picked up his coffee cup with a relaxed demeanor.

“…I understand what you mean.”

“I’m glad you understand.”

“You’re basically telling me how could a woman who had always been with the older brother end up marrying the younger brother instead.”

His gaze, which had been fixed on the coffee cup, slowly lifted.

“Exactly.”

It was a neatly delivered response.
