The Reluctant Tycoon Stepdad Who Soared In Popularity. (TAEKOOK)
Start
A cute and heartwarming story.
Kim Taehyung, a hardworking office worker, died from overwork one night. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the body of a cannon fodder character who had been married off to a tycoon as part of a business alliance between two wealthy families.
In this marriage, Kim Taehyung was virtually invisible. His domineering husband never came home, leaving him only with a cold monthly allowance of 50 million won.
Kim Taehyung
What a deal! Time to live life like a couch potato!
Aside from that, Kim Taehyung also had a stepson named Jeon Jungguk, a three-year-old boy who was small, soft, and beautifully refined. However, the child was usually very quiet and cautious around others, not easily getting close to anyone.
Kim Taehyung didn’t have to worry about raising the child, enjoying his newfound freedom, his only concern being how to spend his money.
When he was happy, he’d buy a commercial property; when unhappy, a sports car…
Chapter 1
Butler
"Mr. Kim, Young Master has locked himself in his room for hours! I'm worried something might happen!"
Butler
"Mr. Kim, you should go check on him!"
The bedroom door was being pounded loudly, and it was clear that the person outside was very anxious.
Taehyung, feeling dizzy, sat up from the bed, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings with confusion.
Kim Taehyung
💭So, where am I?
The knocking continued outside the door.
Taehyung, annoyed by the noise, had no choice but to get out of bed and walk over to open the door.
As he placed his hand on the doorknob, he noticed that the hand clearly did not belong to him, making him even more bewildered.
Although he usually spent most of his time in an office, he frequently exercised and maintained a healthy physique. However, now his hands were slender, pale, and delicate, giving off an air of someone who had never done manual labor.
Kim Taehyung
💭What on earth happened?!
With many questions in mind, Taehyung opened the bedroom door.
The steward outside was sweating profusely. Seeing him finally open the door, he immediately said,
Butler
"Mr. Kim, Young Master has been locked in his room for several hours. We've knocked, but there's no response. He's also locked it from the inside, and we can't open it with the key. What should we do?"
Taehyung hadn't fully grasped the situation yet, but he was always calm in the face of problems. He said,
Kim Taehyung
Let's go take a look.
The steward quickly led Taehyung to Young Master Jeon's room.
Chapter 2
As they walked, the steward couldn't help but express his concern,
Butler
"Has Young Master's tendency towards autism worsened again? Perhaps we should call the psychologist this afternoon."
Taehyung followed the steward calmly, pondering over what he had just heard.
Kim Taehyung
💭Young Master? Autism?!
A flood of scenarios rushed into his mind.
Taehyung realized that he had actually transmigrated into a novel!
Not only had he transmigrated, but he had also ended up in a wealthy family novel.
The original owner was a pushover, often taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. He rarely resisted and kept everything bottled up inside.
The Jeon family chose him as a marriage tool because of his non-confrontational nature.
In this marriage, the original owner had no presence. He had never met his wealthy husband and only received a title and five million won every month.
The original owner, perhaps due to long-term suppression, passed away shortly after the arranged marriage.
Thinking about this, Kim Taehyung examined his new body with a sigh.
Kim Taehyung
💭Five million won every month—what's there to be depressed about?
Kim Taehyung
💭If it were him, he would live a carefree life.
However, since he had inherited the original owner's body, he naturally wanted to do something for him, like reclaiming what belonged to him.
Soon, Taehyung arrived at the bedroom door with the steward.
Several servants stood outside the door, all looking anxious.
After all, the one locked inside was the only young master of the Jeon family, a precious gem cherished by the entire family. If anything happened, they would all suffer.
