A Marriage with an Expiry (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
After her bath, So Ri stepped out of the bathroom, her skin soft and fluffy. The half-body bath had left her whole body pleasantly drowsy.
Hyun Woo, who had been waiting for her at the round table, looked up at the sound of her approach, and their eyes met instantly.
Her heart fluttered oddly, as if it were their very first night on a honeymoon.
Hyun Woo walked straight over to So Ri, who stood there shyly fidgeting.
“Did you finish up nicely?”
“Yes, did you wait long? I must’ve dozed off during my half-body bath.”
“Not really long at all.”
He gently cupped her face with both hands and brushed a light kiss on her lips.
“You feel just like a white rice cake.”
“The bath salts must be really good.”
Seeing how relaxed she seemed, he appeared quietly proud.
“Were you working?”
“Yeah.”
He must be just as tired, yet somehow he’d already brought his laptop along. She admired Hyun Woo, who never wasted a single moment.
“Come sit here.”
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.”
Oh no..she’s gonna tell fl about her mom.yup time for drama
I feel like the dad reveal will be a big one like he is some kind of big shot.
