A Gentle Intruder (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 1
Watching Da Jung’s belly grow larger by the day, Jae Ho could no longer tease her as easily as before. Jokes he used to make—promising to hold her close once she passed the safe period or claiming he’d keep her up all night—belonged to the past now. All he could do was stay by her side, his gaze deepened with quiet devotion.
Pregnancy was anything but simple.
By the time eight months had passed, Da Jung struggled even to stand up on her own. Her legs constantly swelled or went numb, and whenever her belly tightened, the pain radiated to her lower back. Of course, she practically lived in the bathroom, and lying flat on her back to sleep became impossible. Indigestion brought constant nausea.
When Lee Heon Tae practically forced her to submit a leave-of-absence letter after she stubbornly insisted on working until two weeks before delivery, Jae Ho also switched to shortened work hours.
“Feel this. The baby just moved again.”
Da Jung spoke with a voice tinged with laughter.
Sunlight, glimmering softly, poured into the living room. As Jae Ho placed his hand on Da Jung’s belly—she was lying there lazily—he was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable wave of emotion and nearly choked up. Thankfully, their eyes weren’t meeting; she was looking away.
He didn’t want her to see him being sentimental.
“…This little rascal’s kicking Mom hard.”
“Oh!”
Da Jung briefly furrowed her brow.
“Yeah, that hurt just now.”
“She’s got strong legs.”
“Guess we’ll have to get her into exercise.”
“A daughter, though?”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
