A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
After work, Se Ah went to a restaurant near the office.
When she went to Kang Woo’s office to get coffee, Secretary Choi had previously invited her to dinner, saying she was also free due to the CEO’s absence.
Secretary Choi, over ten years her senior, was Hyun Sook’s maternal cousin—in other words, ranked as highly as a mother-in-law within the family hierarchy.
Moreover, she served as her husband’s secretary at the company, making their relationship complicated and delicate.
They’d only occasionally crossed paths at family gatherings, so meeting privately like this was a first.
Slightly nervous, Se Ah picked up her water glass to moisten her throat, glancing vaguely around—when suddenly Secretary Choi entered, beaming brightly. Se Ah quickly adjusted her clothes and stood up.
“Madam, I’m a bit late. I’m sorry.”
Flustered by Secretary Choi’s deeply respectful bow, Se Ah instinctively bowed her head as well.
“You can treat me casually.”
“I’ll do that next time we meet privately.”
Se Ah couldn’t help but admire Secretary Choi’s gentle yet decisive demeanor—and realized this was precisely the kind of strength needed to handle Cha Gang Woo.
Smiling, they both sat down together.
“Since I asked you out for dinner first, I wanted to treat you to something delicious. Are you sure this place is really okay?”
Secretary Choi looked around. Though it was a *seolleongtang* (ox bone soup) restaurant, it had a reputation for being tasty and clean.
“I craved something warm, being winter and all. Since you said anything was fine, I chose this place. Do you… maybe dislike *seolleongtang*?”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
