Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Jae In’s pitch-black eyes darkened heavily. The doorbell kept ringing nonstop, stubbornly pressed over and over again.
“Is this the right address? This is the place, right?”
“Yes, it is.”
“What’s going on? Where did she go?”
The irritated voice coming from outside the door unmistakably belonged to Ji Seung Hee. The man replying while checking the address seemed to be her ever-present secretary.
Jae In’s icy gaze shifted from the intercom screen to the front door. Anger had already piled thickly atop her now-pale face.
“She doesn’t seem to have gone out. I’ve been monitoring since you called in the early hours of the morning. According to records, she briefly went out for exercise three hours ago and hasn’t left again since returning.”
The man’s voice came through clearly from beyond the front door. Jae In let out a hollow, exasperated laugh.
“Knock on the door. Looks like she’s sleeping in, lucky her. Do whatever it takes to get her to open up.”
“Yes.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Unhesitating kicks and fists pounded the front door. Jae In closed her eyes and sighed.
Of course—after what Jo Yuri went through yesterday, there was no way Seung Hee would stay quiet. She couldn’t even understand how she herself had forgotten about this mother-daughter duo, lost as she’d been in the foolish dream of dating Kang Tae Seo.
“Sigh…”
Jae In exhaled, checking the phone in her hand. On the vibrating screen, three letters glowed: .
After a brief hesitation, Jae In rejected Tae Seo’s call. Immediately afterward, she scrolled through her contacts and pressed the call button. After a few rings, once she confirmed the other party had answered, Jae In spoke.

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.”
