Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll call you later.”
After finishing her call with Sang Hwa, Jae In’s eyes fixed on one spot—Tae Seo was greeting guests.
Unshaven stubble roughening his jaw, tired-looking eyes, and hair slightly disheveled in a way unlike his usual self all spoke of his exhaustion.
“What on earth is this…?”
“May the departed rest in peace.”
“How deeply must you be grieving.”
Jae In stepped close enough to hear the mourners’ voices and quietly stood beside Tae Seo. A few of the visitors glanced curiously at her.
But no one dared openly ask who she was or by what right she stood beside Tae Seo.
The sudden death of Kang Shin Jae, chairman of Kang Seon Group, sent shockwaves across the nation. Given Kang Seon Group’s current domestic stature—so vital it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it fed the entire country—his absence was devastating.
Thus, the once-steady chairman’s sudden departure sent stock prices plummeting and sparked anxious murmurs both within Korea and abroad.
“Um, Director Im… perhaps we should delay the announcement just a bit…”
“What good would delaying do? No point in waiting.”
“But the company…”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
