[Entertainment Industry] Embrace Me After Marriage

[This novel will begin a reverse VIP release on Monday, May 8, starting from Chapter 17. There will be a 10,000-word update on the day it enters VIP.]

What does it feel like to be unable to forget someone? Jiang Yi knows exactly what it feels like. Even now, whenever she thinks of him, her heart still skips a beat.

She sees the person in her heart in different places every day. He laughs, he cries, and he is gentle only with her, slowly becoming part of her otherwise ordinary life.

The youngest Blue Dragon Best Actor in South Korea, and one of Chungmuro's most accomplished actors.

A PhD graduate of Seoul National University who stayed on to teach, rising from lecturer to full professor. He is the most popular professor at the university.

When Lee Jung Jae carefully asked her whether she wanted to marry him, Jiang Yi nodded without knowing why.

She herself wasn't sure whether she had reached the age when she wanted to escape her family's impending pressure to marry, or whether she had never really forgotten her ex-boyfriend.

After they married, Lee Jung Jae was often away filming, staying in hotels or his own apartment, while Jiang Yi lived in her own little place near the university.

One day, after drinking heavily when filming wrapped, Lee Jung Jae drunkenly asked his manager to take him to Jiang Yi's place. When she opened the door, he threw his arms around her and nuzzled her neck, just like a big dog. Jiang Yi didn't push him away, which made him so happy that he wrapped both arms around her and announced, "My wife will take care of me."

Not long afterward, rumors began circulating that the Blue Dragon Best Actor was dating a female professor, and that they were already married!

A few notes:

1. Lee Jung Jae is quite OOC here. In real life, Lee has a CEO girlfriend (I know he has a girlfriend, but in this story he doesn't, or I couldn't write it...)

2. Marriage first, love later; the man is openly in love with the woman; rekindled romance (they used to be a couple).

3. The story takes place when Lee Jung Jae is 38 and Jiang Yi is 39+, between 2010 and 2012. Since they're both adults nearing 40, there may not be many of the usual sweet romantic scenes. And as a younger man, Lee Jung Jae finds it hard to act like a big shot in front of the heroine. The senior-junior relationships in Korea also have some influence.

Theme: It is never too late for love.
