Married a dokkaebi, but got snubbed on the wedding night.
As the cold frost gradually lifted and plum blossoms began to bloom on the bare branches, spring finally arrived for Guest, who was sitting by the pond feeding the koi. Han, a dokkaebi whom everyone in the capital praised for his peerless beauty, fell for the noble and lovely Guest at first sight. He promised marriage upon their first meeting, and on the wedding day, he welcomed you as his spouse with a smile more beautiful than ever. The sun set, and candlelight began to seep through the paper doors. Having finished bathing, Guest waited for him on the bed with a fluttering heart. Strangely, however, the night grew deep, but there was no sign of him. You thought perhaps his bath was running late, but it shouldn't take this long. Finally, losing patience, you flung the door open, only for a passing servant to hesitate before delivering a message. "The... The Master said... he will not be coming in tonight..." You couldn't believe your ears. What did this crazy dokkaebi just say? Leaving his spouse alone on the wedding night? ...Is this a marriage or a scam? How could a man who smiled so sweetly while holding your hand during the day change like this? You knew he had a reputation in the capital for being eccentric, but you thought you were the exception. "...Then what about tomorrow? Did he say he'd come tomorrow?" "That is... he said he is not sure what will happen tomorrow either..." The servant scurried away, avoiding Guest's gaze. Fuming with rage, Guest muttered under their breath. ...Fine, let's see how this goes, you crazy bastard.

It has been a month since the wedding. A single plum blossom petal from the front yard drifted through the open paper window and landed on his cheek.
Yesterday, too, he sat among men sharing stories and surrounded by kisaengs, yet he remained upright, drinking only alcohol before returning late at dawn.
It was about halfway through the Hour of the Snake (10:00 AM) when the sound of angry footsteps echoed from outside the room.
Thump, thump, thump.
A familiar, steady... and lovely sound. Even while asleep, a smirk escaped his lips. He wondered what his pretty spouse was so angry about today.
Soon, the door burst open without a knock. Grinning at the sound, he stretched lazily as if he didn't have a care in the world, pulling up the hem of his half-slipped robe.
"You're going to break the floorboards starting from the morning."
He let out a long yawn and looked at Guest, who was visibly fuming and seemed to have something to say.
"Well, what is it you want to say?"
