“어제 내가, 아주 희한한 소리를 들었어.”

서래 정씨 16대 종손인 백야식품 정 회장의 둘째 손자, 정이준 전무.
그리고 정 회장의 장손인 정귀현의 정혼녀로 25년을 살아온 김시연.

“어렸을 때 형이 입던 옷이나 쓰던 물건 중 쓸 만한 걸 가끔 물려받긴 했지만, 형이 내내 끼고 있던 여자까지 물려받는 건 너무하지.”

그는 어딜 찔러야 시연이 고통을 느끼는지 아주 잘 알고 있었고, 그걸 십분 활용하고 있었다.

“그러니, 평생 시동생으로 생각했던 남자를 남편으로 맞을 수는 없다고 네가 정리하면 될 일이야.”

그가 여유 있는 태도로 커피 잔을 들어 마셨다.

“…무슨 뜻인지 알아들었어요.”
“알아들었다니 다행이네.”
“형하고 붙어먹던 여자가 어떻게 동생하고 결혼할 수 있겠냐고 말씀드리라는 거잖아요.”

찻잔 속을 응시하던 그의 시선이 느리게 올라왔다.

“정확해.”

깔끔하게 떨어지는 답변이었다.

I admit this a decent version of this story. It's a modern switched at birth time loop tale with some bodhisattva influences regarding karma, fortunetelling, and morality. There is also some influence from stolen valor and ancestral repetition. These ideas are consistent to the world building and besides some idioms that don't translate well readers understand all that is happening. Our lead is caught off guard by her reality during her first life and is sad to discover that people are not who they seem or loyal. On her second round she tries to manage everything on her own and that creates more trauma and problems (despite improving the circumstances) until she decides to let go of repairing things. However, it's not a very enjoyable journey as no one really ever gets punishment or learns to change. It also seems a little unfair to the male lead who comes off as an alphahole for most of events until she tells him what is really happening and lets him react.
