Summary
“I don’t need devotion. I need efficiency.”
A man admired as much as the president.
A man destined to be the next leader of the nation.
Lee Suho—my husband.
“Mayor Lee Suho! Is it true that your marriage is nothing but a façade?”
Just as the launch of a new administrative district approaches, the public uncovers the truth about our relationship. Despite being by his side the longest, I was never truly part of his family.
“Mayor, what you need now is a child—just as you once needed a wife.”
I was drawn to his unrelenting ambition, willing to support his goals in any way possible.
“Stay focused. A pregnancy? We must stick to what’s necessary.”
“Add it to the contract. I won’t hinder you with a child.”
But his response was colder than I could have imagined.
“Min Sojung, I don’t need someone to dedicate themselves to me. I need someone who knows how to do their job.”
