In 1948, 𝐊𝐢𝐦 𝐓𝐚𝐞𝐡𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐠, the only son of the Kim family, a family of warlords in Seoul City, married 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞 the daughter of the rich silk family.

Kim Taehyung had already made great military achievements at a young age, and he took the position of Major General after a few years in the army.

With a smart mind, a tall and straight posture, and an extraordinarily handsome appearance, the twenty-four-year-old Kim Taehyung was the dream future husband and son-in-law of almost all the young ladies and women in Seoul City.

The masters of many large families and Kim Taehyung's father, General Kim Hongdae, had secretly arranged their daughters and Kim Taehyung's marriage, but all of them always ended up in failure.

There was only one reason - Kim Taehyung didn't want to marry.

Until two years ago, General Kim Hongdae died in battle and Kim Taehyung kept his filial piety for two years.

As soon as the period of filial piety was over, Kim Taehyung's mother, Kim Harin, worked hard to settle marriage for her son, saying that Kim Hongdae's greatest wish before his death, was to see his son get married and start a family.

In fact, during the two years of filial piety, Kim Harin already wanted his son to start a family and no longer observe filial piety because she knew the thoughts of her old man well. The deceased has passed away, and those who are still alive should not stick to these forms any more. The spirit of her old man in heaven would certainly not want to see his son delay his marriage for another two years.

{T/N: Here the male lead's mother uses 'old man' as an intimate form of address for her husband.}

Although Taehyung promised to get married and start a family, he refused to end the period of filial piety early. Harin had no choice but to let him drag on for another two years.

But in the past two years, Harin has not been idle. She learned about all the educated and well-known daughters in Seoul City, selected the most suitable ones, and showed their photos to Taehyung.

After Taehyung finished looking through all of it, he picked out the photo of 𝐉𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞, the daughter of the rich Jeon family who did the silk business.

There were two daughters in the Jeon family. The eldest young lady was married a few years ago. The second young lady who had not left her boudoir was Jeon Jungkookie and she was eighteen years old this year.

Harin was overjoyed, because she and Mrs. Jeon had known each other for many years, and the silk and satin that she wore on weekdays were all from the Jeon family. She liked Jeon Jungkookie who looked sweet and had a good personality. She had also planned to try persuading her son to choose Jeon Jungkookie if he had been careless when he was choosing.

Soon, the parents of the two families took their children to the Chamber of Commerce of Seoul City for dinner. Taehyung invited Jungkookie to dance a few times. The two talented and beautiful people swayed on the dance floor. The picture of the two dancing together looked like an exquisite oil painting.

Back at the Kim Mansion, Harin asked his son how he felt about Jungkookie with great anticipation, and Taehyung said lightly, ❝It's her.❞

This Jeon Jungkookie was faultless in all aspects, her appearance was also appealing to him, and she seemed to be quiet and well-behaved and wouldn't always bother him noisily.

Although, the days ahead may be a little dull.

But, it was her.

Later, the two met several times by chance on different occasions, and it didn't take long for Taehyung to personally lead his subordinates and present a huge amount of betrothal gifts to the Jeon family.

In this war-torn era, the only worry of the Jeon family's master and his wife about Kim Taehyung was that he would follow the former general's footsteps and make Jungkookie a widow at a young age.

Taehyung listened and told Master Jein and his wife, neither humbly nor arrogantly, that he had never thought of marriage. And that he got married and started a family because he was not sure when the things that the two old Jeon's husband and wife were worried about would happen. He had always been devoted to the war and did not consider getting married. Now that he has decided to start a family, he was sure to shoulder this responsibility, and would not easily let the enemy harm his life in future wars.

Master Jeon and his wife were very satisfied with the answer, and their daughter's impression of Taehyung was also good, so they agreed to the marriage.

It only took two months from the talking, the engagement banquet to the marriage.

The happy news of the wedding between the son of the Kim family and the daughter of the Jeon family spread all over Seoul City. All the young ladies of Seoul City who had dreamed of Kim Taehyung as their future husband sighed, and their hearts shattered overnight.
