[Special]MY LIFE IS A COMPLETE COMEDY! 30

In the first part of the story, Ki chan meets a 10-year-old girl named Sanshio while out on a date with her boyfriend. She finds Sanshio adorable and hopes to have a cute child like her someday.

Right after graduation, Ki chan accepted her boyfriend’s marriage proposal and became a housewife. Her husband works in real estate sales and has business dealings with Eve’s mother. When Ki chan was studying, her husband even traveled to North Harbor Island to collaborate with Eve’s mother’s Peninsula Group. He liked the place so much that he bought a house there, which was still under construction, planning to live there with Ki chan once it was ready.

Ki chan devoted herself to housework and taking care of her husband, but due to poor health, she was never able to get pregnant. Before their wedding, she already knew this after seeing a doctor but kept believing that someday she would succeed.

During the idle days as a housewife, she got to know the neighbor’s children. They loved playing with her and enjoyed her cooking.

However, her husband didn’t like Ki chan spending time with other kids. He was worried she would want a child even more and thought the kids might take away her love for him. Whenever he found her playing with children, he’d pull her away unhappily.

He wanted her to stay home and focus solely on trying to get pregnant. Ki chan’s mood sank lower and lower, and she began seeing doctors and taking medicine to improve her chances.

During this time, her husband’s career steadily climbed. He got promoted but still had to support the family, pay off loans, and attend social drinking events. Gradually, he started neglecting Ki chan’s needs and health.

After 6 years together, at age 26, Ki chan finally got pregnant and was very happy. But due to severe morning sickness, she became weaker and less able to do things. Her husband thought she was being lazy.

Even while pregnant, Ki chan still had endless dishes to wash, cleaning to do, and had to serve her husband meals. Her husband’s life revolved only around work.

Later, at 7 months pregnant, Ki chan had a difficult labor. She begged her husband to take her to the hospital, but he was busy attending a social event. He gave her some money and left.

Ki chan passed out from the pain. Her husband, drunk and outside at a party, called her but got no answer. He thought she was ignoring him on purpose, not knowing she had fainted, and her phone was left in the living room.

When the drunken husband returned home and saw Ki chan lying in bed, the untouched cash on the bed, and missed calls, he got angry and assaulted her.He didn’t aim the bottle at her, only smashed the wall with it to scare her.

When the drunken husband returned home and saw Ki chan lying in bed, the untouched cash on the bed, and missed calls, he got angry and roughly pulled her up from the bed. He didn’t aim the bottle at her, only smashed the wall with it to scare her.

Neighbors heard the commotion, rushed over, and called the police.

Ki chan was taken to the hospital for abortion, and her husband was arrested.

After the abortion, Ki chan fell into a coma for half a year. When she woke up, she found out her eyesight was completely gone because the corner of her eye had been cut and damaged by glass shards.

She was heartbroken and desperate, but treatment in the hospital helped her recover about half of her vision.

Because the recovery required highly specialized doctors and was very expensive, and her insurance and savings were used up, she had to stop treatment and leave the hospital.

Her mental state was fragile, and she needed medication to keep calm; otherwise, she might lose her mind.

Ki chan hated feeling weak and sleepy all the time, like she was wasting her life. She started smoking and drinking to vent her emotions but eventually quit both.

She believed negativity wouldn’t solve anything. She decided to work hard to earn money to treat her eyes, divorced her husband, and hired a lawyer to deal with personal injury compensation, hoping to get money for her treatment.

Spending time with the neighbor’s children, Ki chan began selling goods at a street stall to support herself, gradually accepting reality and finding her way back in life.

Her ex-husband compensated her and finalized the divorce.

Ki chan received the house her ex-husband bought and decided to move to a new place for a fresh start, saying goodbye to the children but believing they would meet again someday.

On the way to her new home, she saw a “Shop for Rent” sign and became interested. When she contacted the owner, she was picked up by a strange driver who said the boss wanted to see her.

She met Eve’s mother, Ms. Tsuen, who recognized Ki chan because her ex-husband had mentioned her.

Ms. Tsuen didn’t know what had happened between them. She only wanted to use Ki chan to make money.

She “lent” Ki chan one of her unused shops and guided her to open an izakaya, as she was very optimistic about the business.

So Ki chan became an izakaya owner.

Shortly after opening, Ki chan found a short-tailed calico cat at the entrance and named it KOKO.

Later, she didn’t realize her life would be changed by a special guest — Hanabusa, who worked in the eyewear industry and came to the izakaya on the recommendation of an ophthalmologist friend.

The izakaya was popular because the owner, Ki chan, was very warm and welcoming.

Hanabusa and his good friend noticed Ki chan’s eye problems, which were similar to a condition they were researching.

They decided to help her. At first, Hanabusa didn’t know how her eyes had been injured, and whenever Ki chan mentioned it, she would cry deeply.

One day, Hanabusa visited Ki chan’s resting room in the izakaya and saw shelves filled with cookbooks.

He found one with papers inside and was curious to open it. It turned out to be Ki chan’s photo album, showing her younger self and her pregnant days. The paper inside was actually a suicide note.

Hanabusa held the note and stared at Ki chan sleeping beside him.

From then on, he felt that he couldn’t leave this woman behind.
