Hong Heeju is a sign language interpreter who has become mute due to severe depression.
For three years of their arranged marriage, she and her husband never exchanged a single conversation.
One day, her life takes a harrowing turn when she’s taken hostage.
‘Don’t hang up! This isn’t a phishing call…!’
However, her husband, who was even worse than a stranger, coldly disconnected the call.
– “Call me when a body is found.”
****
Overwhelmed with anger, Heeju decides to threaten her husband anonymously.
The problem is that he was a well-known spokesperson for the Blue House.
– “Can’t you send threats on time?”
“That…”
– “Here I’m anxiously waiting for my blackmailer’s call.”
“What do you…”
– “Are you playing around with someone else besides me?”
“…?”
Wait, is this the same sociopath husband I knew?

[Please translate! The original novel in Korean is completed and it’s currently being released as a drama. The female lead is a really interesting character, and the plot has been really fun and exciting to read.]
