The Awakening of a Rascally Wife 1

Author

Hello everyone

Irrelevant people

"President Jeon's family background and looks are top-tier in every way. The only pity is that he's mute."

Irrelevant people

"You poor thing."

"Marrying President Jeon must be eating you up inside, right?"

As the words from the person across the table settled in, Taehyung's heart pounded wildly.

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

(Oh my god!)

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

(This was exactly the same as the dream I had last night)

In the dream, he discovered he was living inside a romance novel where two brothers fought over love.

He wasn't the main character being fought over. Nor was he the supporting female character competing with the mc for the men.

Instead, he was the husband of the eldest brother—in other words, the wealthy matriarch of the family

His husband, Jeon Jungkook, was the current CEO of the Jeon Corporation. He had two younger brothers who would later fall for the same female lead, leading to a bitter rivalry over power and inheritance

By all rights, considering seniority and capability, the position of Jeon Corporation's CEO should always belong to the eldest brother, Jungkook. The problem? He was mute.

Even if he was the most outstanding among the three brothers, outsiders still saw him as flawed. No prestigious family would let a mute person steer the ship.

Taehyung came from an ordinary background. He never imagined that a casual childhood betrothal arranged by his grandfather with his old comrade would actually come true

In the three months since their marriage, they had barely seen each other, let alone developed any feelings. At the end of the prophetic dream, he had become a hateful figure—

Materialistic, boastful, and especially after becoming brothers-in-law with the protagonist of this novel, he constantly compared himself to him, scheming to ruin protagonist reputation.

In the end, his schemes were exposed, and he was kicked out of the family.

Finally, Taehyung understood. Why had his naturally cheerful personality recently turned so bitter?

It turned out his life’s trajectory was being controlled by an invisible force called "plot," leading him to the miserable fate of a discarded wealthy wife despised by all

Taehyung sucked in a sharp breath. If he let the plot unfold as it was, it would be terrifying. Now that he had awakened, he absolutely couldn’t let it happen. After careful consideration—

He lived in a luxurious penthouse, with maids handling all chores.

His unfamiliar husband was rich, an enigma of high standing, barely spoke, handsome, and didn’t meddle in his affairs

As long as he behaved and didn’t stir up trouble, he could live as a carefree, wealthy man with endless money and no one to answer to

(How was this any different from winning the lottery?) **grinning in his mind

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

(Oh, wait—there was a difference. Winning the lottery meant paying taxes)

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

(I didn’t have to)

Taehyung, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?

The omega across from him suddenly spoke up. Taehyung snapped out of his thoughts. The omega opposite him was Jennie, a low-level employee in the secretary department of the Jeon Corporation's executive office, whom he had recently befriended.

Jennie had taken the initiative to befriend him, and over time, they had grown close—or so Taehyung thought

Today, this so-called "best friend" was subtly trying to coax him into badmouthing Jungkook. Thanks to last night’s dream, Taehyung already knew that under the table, Jennie was holding her phone, ready to hit record the moment he complained about Jungkook.

Later, the recording would be sent to Jungkook, marking the beginning of his disdain for him. Taehyung stayed silent for a few seconds, then gave Jennie a deep look. Finally, he spoke

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

"What's wrong with being mute?"

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

"Mute is good, mute is great—marry a mute, no fights to debate."

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

"I couldn’t be more grateful to marry into the Jeon family! Married life is amazing~"

Jennie

**froze

This... wasn't right Just moments ago, Taehyung had looked like a resentful, bitter husband.

Jennie

(How had he suddenly changed?)

Jennie

"Taehyung, you're so kind-hearted. You're clearly suffering but putting on a brave face. You can tell me how you really feel—"

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

"It's getting late," **cut her off, grabbing his bag and standing up

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

"Jungkook is returning to the city today. I should head back."

This was a lie. Jungkook was on a business trip and wouldn't be back for three more days. In his phone, their chat history since marriage didn't even exceed ten messages.

They only exchanged the most essential information, like—

Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)

[Jungkook: 6 PM. Dinner at the main house.]

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

[Taehyung: Got it.]

Or—

Jeon Taehyung (omega)

[Taehyung: Jennie invited me shopping today.]

Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)

[Jungkook: Okay.]

Their chat was less a conversation and more a message board.The last message was from Jungkook:

Jeon Jungkook (Enigma)

[Jungkook: Business trip. Back in three days.]

Taehyung had never mentioned Jungkook's schedule to Jennie, so using it as an excuse now wouldn't raise suspicion. He didn't want to waste energy dealing with Jennie.
